Fitted some mains/battery back up smoke detectors today, this caution notice was inside the pack Alternative Energy Sources ( Wind,solar UPS etc) This product must be connected to a Pure or True Sine Wave 230 Vac supply. It musr not be connected to devices giving a modified sine wave or quasi sine wave 230 Vac such as most inverterws to solar panels,wind turbines,water turbines or batteries. This also applies to battery powered UPS inverters. Either of these power sources will cause over heating which will damage the product. So much for home made electricity !
