smoke alarm bleep
12 Answers
it's a new build and because of the design of the house there is a smoke alarm in each and every room and a heat sensor in the kitchen. The alarms went off about twice since we lived here because toast smoke left the kitchen and reached the nearest smoke detector so we pushed the 'hush' button still it took ages to turn off. Because they are all linked you should just press one hush button on your nearest alarm and it should turn the alarm off. ie you don't have to go to the source alarm. for some strange reason the alarm keeps just doing a loud bleep sound when ever it wants for no apparent reason sometimes we will not hear it for days and then three times in a day? We have no instructions for the alarm or system, as it is mains driven I have checked the fuse box but see nothing wrong there. I have checked all alarms and they all have the green light.
I have tried to look up instructions here I don't know what the exact model is without opening but i think its the 160 or 140 or low voltage model, instructions all seem the same.

But it mentions 'full' alarm sounding, and bleeps which last over 20 minutes this means the backup battery is depleted. Nothing about random one bleeps?
Anyone have any clues
Thanks in advance

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The Aico range are generally good ..however if any dust or fumes get into the detection chamber they will chirp to warn you.Try blowing into the front chamber to get rid of any dust.
It may also be a low battery (in some models) others have lithium cells.If it persists find the culprit and change it....they slide off the base..away from the screwdriver slot on the side.
BTW...you usually have to hush them on the unit detecting the smoke/ heat...the red light flashes rapidly on this unit.
