Hi,
Our house has three of these alarms, interlinked so if one goes off then it sets the others off a couple of seconds later.
For reasons I needn't go into I had one of them disconnected last night by removing the main unit from the base plate, and removing its battery. Also the lighting circuit they're powered from was off at the breaker. So one alarm was disconnected and without battery overnight, and the other two were in place but without mains power.
This morning I refitted the alarm, with a new battery, and switched the circuit back on. However my refitted alarm still kept beeping, sometimes one beep and sometimes two in a row. I've just checked all three, only this one is beeping (and now only very infrequently), all three sound when I hold down the test button on any one of them. Is there anything else worth checking, that might have been disturbed by removing/refitting this alarm? Am I right in thinking that if I decided to replace this alarm as suspect, that I could leave the baseplate in place fit the new alarm without disturbing the fixed wiring?
Thanks, Tony S
