Smoke Alarm Problems

Jul 31, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



Had a First Alert battery powered Smoke alarm on the second floor of my Colonial. At night, for the first time ever, it gave a few beeps, then nothing from then on.



It is summer, and I would estimate the ceiling was perhaps around 80 degrees or so. Replaced it with a new Kidde Smoke alarm. Their good one.



Same thing. At night, it gives a few beeps, then is quiet for the rest of the night.



Very disturbing.



Any thoughts on what might be happening ?



Do these things get funny at only 80-85 degrees ? Doesn't seem all that hot



Bob


An alarm is a constant signal, low battery is beeps.
