Hi all,
We've just bought a place and knew that one of the mains connected smoke alarms was missing so I replaced it as a temporary measure with a battery powered one to be on the safe side. But last night the alarms went off during cooking and I couldn't turn them off at all! The guys from downstairs came round after hearing the noise and told us it always happens to them and the only way to stop it is to turn it off at the mains. This is obviously a bit drastic, but we had to do it.
I kept trying to turn back on the mains supply to the alarms but they just kept going off so I narrowed it down to the offending unit and I guess that's why there was one missing in the first place because they kept going off! I'm now trying to see if there's any way to get a replacement without paying an electrician to fit a brand new full set and wire them up but I cannot seem to find any that match this model.
The model is a Garvan SS-1208S. Does anyone know if there's anywhere that still sells these or if there's a compatible model I can use in place of this one?
Any advice much appreciated!
