As above, its a Garvan inonization mains interlinked detector.Ive replaced the battery with a new one, it isnt dirty but it wont stop beeping as though the battery needs replacing but it has a new one in.Its in an empty rented property and the tenant is due to move in but its only two years old.
Its an alarm that wont let you screw the lid on until the battery is in to prevent tampering and I dont want the lithium cells to deplete by leaving the lid off but I need to stop it beeping andor renew. It has béen fine, tenants movéd out and nów it has startéd bleeping. Is it broken I have lost the instructions to this alarm and cant find any online but it is similar to others and behaving in the same way to the others where I have instructions and their troubleshooting guide is not helping other than telling me it must be faulty. It may be worth you trying a few squirts of compressed air on it They can play up if the temperature drops andor condensation is present - you dont say how long the property has been empty Agree with Sooz though - tenants must have a copy at the property.

They are usually tiny little booklets so its probably stuck inside another one or something and its not on the manufacturers site so Ill have to hunt one down. Because it is only a quick beep every 40 seconds its really hard to hear where it is coming from. Anyone else find it hard to hear where noises are coming from - no, ok its just me:rotfl: But I am certain the smoke alarm was beeping because I took it down and it was beeping in my hand I kept running up and down the stairs to listen for where the beep was coming from and which alarm is was as there is an open plan staircase that separates the two smoke detectors.
