Not really following the thread but I've seen interconnect failure a couple of timesIntrigued to hear about possible causes for the IC failure on all but 1 of the detectors. Also, the new detectors are on the same wiring and currently working.

This one ?Near the beginning of this thread is a pic of the wiring to a head, showing that the wiring colour conventionally used for the interconnect and the neutral have been swapped around. I suspect that at some point a damaged base has been replaced by an electrician who connected the new one conventionally before realising his mistake after powering up. Corrected his wiring, and then walked swiftly away.
It strikes me that there's an indication of sub-standard design in these then. Given that such wiring errors are not exactly unforeseeable, you'd think they'd design the system to cope with it - it is possible to do.
You mean design the heads to cope with wiring errors ?This one ?

Not that I am aware ofHas someone been in and performed an insulation resistance test on them at 500V?
Hmm ,.this thread has been going on a while nowNot that I am aware of
