What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This wireless transmitter listens for the sound of household smoke, CO, and gas alarms — including newer T3 and T4 alarm tones — and sends a radio signal to a compatible CentralAlert receiver unit, which can then flash lights or vibrate to get your attention. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and may not reliably hear a standard audible alarm go off. This is not a standalone device — it requires a separate CentralAlert receiver (such as the CA-360 or CA-RX) to actually deliver the alert; without one, this transmitter does nothing visible or tactile on its own. Also worth knowing: this is a supplemental alerting aid, not a certified fire protection device, so it should be used alongside — not instead of — a compliant fire safety system.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Install 2 AA batteries (not included) and press the test button to confirm communication with your CentralAlert receiver unit. - With a guide
- Position the CA-AX next to your existing smoke/CO alarm so its microphone can detect the alarm sound, or connect it directly to the alarm if a direct-connect option is available.
- Pair the transmitter with your CA-360 or CA-RX receiver following the pairing steps in the product manual — typically takes 10–20 minutes.
- Run a test with the alarm to confirm the receiver activates correctly. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
