Hi,

I have 4 x mains wired smoke alarms (Kidde) with lithium battery back up in a house I rent out and the tenant is complaining that the alarms keep going off by themselves?

Any ideas why?

Thanks

I was mixing some power tile adhesive in a bucket under a mains powered smoke alarm the other day and it went off...!

Must of been the dust!

That would do it.
As the dust particles acted like smoke particles.

Hence with most detectors they are supplied with dust covers for when they are fitted ( during other building works) or when new works is taking place.

A good tip if working in buildings with fire systems on brigade response you should have the detectors covered and the system put onto test at the ARC ( Alarm Receiving Centre).


Made an error once :oops: :oops: :oops: 5 Fire tenders turned up and 300 people evacuated..................... :oops: :oops: :oops:
 
Thanks guys, they are about 2 years old and have not been cleaned so I will remove them and clean
