Mine to it beeps one time every few seconds and it’s so annoying and the weird part is it does that every night around 2 or 3 am but I don’t hear it in the day time and I say I’m going to check on it but I never do because I don’t hear it so I forget.
@@jordysanchez2815 You could’ve just took the battery out I don’t think you would be worried abt anything catching on fire if you were careful and not ignorant abt what you left on that’s hot In your home or whatever it is that could catch fire
Where my smoke alarms are hard-wired into our electrical system, why do we need a battery? And since when does a battery-removal require a PhD in electronics? And why does the battery die at 12:30 a.m.? And why does a fire alarm require a 9-volt battery? I haven’t used 9-volts since my transistor radio days back in the 1970s . . .
@@lisabradley7668 Common sense, right? I was very frustrated with my alarms at the time of the post and we never experience power outages in my area, hence my venting in my post. Thanks for the informative answer without resorting to sarcasm, Lisa! I appreciate the kindness. 😆
And this is exactly WHY people end up "disarming" their alarms and then having full on house fires and end up NOT being alerted! Nuisance chirping! The industry NEEDS to CHANGE!
Thanks for your video.We focus on Smart Sensor Alarms( smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, Door Sensor,motion sensor,etc), hoping to provide safety protection for more people,A small item may be able to help many families stay away from disasters.
I have a problem with our PSA Homeguard 2000. Constant beeping. Have replaced the battery twice, with 2 different new batteries. No hush button so that's not the problem. Have now removed the unit from the ceiling fitting and removed the battery from the unit. The ceiling fitting is still beeping. It happens only of a night time when the temperature has dropped. The unit is only 2 years old and is the second alarm that we had this problem with. The other was replaced about 12 months ago.
Eventually found the noisy smoke alarm. It was in a room that we do not use and was echoing into the hallway area. Had great support from Cameron at PSA within 2-3 hours of contacting them on their website; via phone and email.
HERES THE SOLUTION: THIS THING WAS PISSING ME OFF ALL MORNING. FIRST TURN OF THE SMOKE ALARM FROM MAINS. NEXT TAKE OF THE COVER BY USING A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER TO WEDGE IT OPEN. FINALY REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE COVER AND CHUCK THE WHOLE THING IN THE BIN.
mine went off saying carbon monoxide in the middle of the night but nothing happened after? im really confused about this, and i feel like im going to die
Mine just went off and I'm actually surprised that my dog didn't jump or flinch. This type of model has a button to push and hold for a few seconds. There was no smoke or fire.
Can anyone tell me if a chirping smoke detector will still work, if it is the low battery? I am heading out to get a new battery tomorrow but now it’s evening, so I’m gonna deal with the chirping until tomorrow. Working detectors are always a security blanket for us, I would hate to not have one at all. (We live in an apartment) if there happens to be smoke, would the detector still work normally (beeping) even though right now it is chirping intermittently? Hope someone can answer!
Check your carbon monoxide detector. Mine is on a wall near the floor, but almost under the smoke detector. It's very difficult to tell which is chirping, so try the battery in both.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this post! Same thing happened to us and we were going crazy trying to figure out which alarm was beeping. Finally realized it was the carbon monoxide detector. Thank you, Jesus!
My smoke alarm which is still new doesn't have a battery. All 4 smoke alarms are hardwired. I have used the hush button, disconnected the alarm and reinstalled it and it continues chirping every 5 minutes. Kiddie support is useless as you have to wait several hours. Can you suggest what to do. I am not sure if I shut off the central electricity that will work either. thanks Paul
Hardwired smoke alarms still have a replaceable back up battery. This is incase a fire interrupts your electricity supply. It is the back up battery which is causing your bleeping alarm. There will be a slot on the side of the alarm you can open in order to replace. Make sure your electricity is isolated first
1:28 4/17/23. I have a old alarm with no battery back up. I turned off the power and disconnected the alarm and the connector. I still get the chirping sound with it outside the house?
Hi Bill, there is no smoke alarm that doesn't have some kind of battery backup. The alarm you have likely has a built-in non-replaceable 10-year lithium battery, you will most likely need to replace the alarm.
Nearly fell off ladder & broke my neck at 2am trying to slide this damn thing open. Apparently if it's got a tamper screw putting all your weight into pushing will make you & the ladder move but not the alarm! Screw out & it slid straight off. If only I could figure out how to reach the one above the stairs before the beeping drives me to insanity!!!!
Just repetition on thousands of alarms haha. After a few attempts you'll get a feel for it! It also helps align the lines on the smoke alarm to the base.
I took battery out and it still chirps...any advice?..think it’s alive and doing that to annoy me..keep on..I’m throwing it in the garbage..I’ll hear when the neighbors get to yelling
Holy shit balls I just woke up at 4:30 in the morning to the loudest beeping I’ve ever heard. I’m pretty sure it must have been the alarm. But christ it scared the hell out of me Edit: literally as I posted this comment and was about to go to sleep it went off again. God damn it.
Mine is 4 years old and seems to be a malfunction as I have put in new batteries and still chirps every 30 seconds. I am going to try to return mine as its say 10 years these should last. Its not the cheap one but the $45.00 one.
Hi John, Most smoke alarms are hardwired now. All smoke alarms installed in new properties since 1997 should be hardwired in Australia. They need a backup battery because when there is a fire, there is a high risk the power will go out, either due to the fire itself or a short which caused the fire in the first place. If the smoke alarm is mains powered only and the power goes out during the fire, it won't sound.
Find out more at: www.SmokeAlarmWarning.org Australian legislation (Queensland and the Northern Territory) and legislation in Zealand and some U.S. States mandates the use of photoelectric smoke alarms. Many authorities advise photoelectric alarms as being "better" but for legal and political reasons are not allowed to warn that there is anything wrong with ionization alarms. However, in 2016 Commissioner Greg Mullins, the most senior fire official representing all fire brigades across Australia and New Zealand went public stating that "ionization smoke alarms should be banned". See him warning on Australian TV and discover why ionization smoke alarms should be banned: www.SmokeAlarmWarning.org
can anyone tell me why so many people have their smoke detector do this? whats the piont? isnt it caused by just weak batteries or something? are people that lazy?
Speak UP! Didn't you take acting in College. You have to learn to PROJECT. What good does it do for you to try to tell someone something if you speak so softly no one can hear you.
