The detection chamber is sized for the photodiode, not for packaging. This means the optical path is precisely calibrated for early smoke detection — reducing the time between ignition and alarm activation.
A proprietary fire detection algorithm with analogue system-level precision. Developed in-house and tuned for the CORE chamber — not adapted from a generic alarm platform.
Every internal component is specified for long-term performance at the 78mm scale. Selected for thermal stability and consistent signal output across the full 10-year service life.
Two levels of mesh screening and humidity protection reduce nuisance alarms — important in Australian coastal, tropical, and high-humidity environments where standard alarms often false-trigger.

One smoke alarm is rarely enough. Wireless interconnected smoke alarms communicate via radio frequency. When any alarm triggers — smoke or heat — every alarm in the home sounds simultaneously. No wiring. No panels. No installation fees for battery models. Up to 12 alarms per network. Mix smoke and heat alarms. Mix battery and mains-powered models. The system works as one.
Yes. The 2203 CAVMP mains-powered alarm interconnects wirelessly with all Wireless Family battery alarms. You can combine both types across a single property — useful for new builds or properties where some rooms require mains power.
Yes. All CAVIUS smoke alarms comply with Australian Standard AS 3786:2014, the national standard for smoke and heat alarms. This compliance is required for all alarms sold for residential use in Australia.
Battery-operated Wireless Family models (2107, 2117, 3107) are DIY-installable — no electrician required. The mains-powered 2203 CAVMP must be installed by a licensed electrician as it connects to the home’s electrical supply.
Up to 12 wireless interconnected smoke alarms per network. This covers the requirements of most residential and light commercial properties. If you need coverage across a larger building, contact our team to discuss multi-network configurations.
Yes. Battery-operated Wireless Family alarms are not hardwired and can be uninstalled and re-paired at a new address. The mains-powered 2203 CAVMP must be disconnected by a licensed electrician.
CAVIUS wireless interconnected smoke alarms continuously monitor their network connection. If an alarm loses contact with the network for an extended period, it will indicate a fault condition so you can address the issue.
