My kiddie alarm smoke/carbon monoxide detector had a low battery alarm. Upon replacing the battery and reattaching the wire, the alarm goes off continuously, setting off the same hallway alarm, and finally the 3 bedroom alarms. Pressing the button did nothing, finally I had to disconnect both kiddie alarms and remove the batteries to stop the "fire fire" alarms.
Is it possible both alarms are malfunctioning? Are any replacement alarms wired the same as the kiddie?
Thanks!
Answer
Maybe it a malfunction of the low battery warning. How old are the alarms?
â LOW BATTERY: When the batteries are low and
need replacing the red LED light will flash and the
unit will âchirpâ one time, followed by the warning
message âLOW BATTERYâ. This cycle will occur once
every minute for the first hour. After the first hour
the red LED light will continue to flash every minute
accompanied by the âchirpâ only sound. The voice
message âLOW BATTERYâ will sound once every
fifteen minutes during the âchirpâ only cycle.
This will continue for at least seven days.
⢠One âchirpâ every 30 seconds is an indication that
the alarm is malfunctioning. If this occurs call the
Consumer Hotline at 1-800-880-6788.
⢠After seven (7) years of cumulative power up, this unit
will âchirpâ twice every 30 seconds. This is an
"operational end of life" feature which will indicate
that it is time to replace the alarm.

Have we got carbon monoxide?

We have had a carbon monoxide alarm for years and it has never been used, recently had a family friend pass away due to carbon monoxide poisoning. So I'm really worried. I don't think my mum is well mentally and now is saying oh ill sort it etc etc and doesnt understand people DIE from this, so I'm having to take things on myself and try look after us both. I put some new batteries in the alarm and it started beeping really loud straight away right in my ear so I took it out, I am going to get our local council or something to look at it this week but I just want peace of mind for now, is it just beeping in general or have we got carbon monoxide? (I only put the last battery in for a second it beeped really loud then I took it out). Because we are aren't able to support ourselves financially heating etc she uses the gas burners to heat the house (around 4-7 years) but I put a stop to it about a month ago, but yesterday the gas went back on!!

I'd buy a new alarm . . . . . . carbon monoxide is produced by combustion: a car engine in attached garage, a clogged chimney - or Yes, burning the gas burners continually. "Not well mentally" is scary, whether it's the result of age - or breathing carbon monoxide. Sounds like you should buy her a small electric heater for the area she normally sits . . . so she won't turn on the gas.
