how to stop the carbon monoxside detector?




dusty


my monoxside detector is beeping for several days i tried cleaning but is still beeping what do i do


Answer
replace the battery, if its electric it proubly has a battery back up if you loose power. FEMA recommends that you repace smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors every 5 to 7 years. and check them monthly.
co2 does not have an odor and is very dangerous especially to children in small pars and can and will kill!!!
they are so very important,.co2 detectors. the best are the talking alarm type because children and some adults ignore alarms but respond well to voices with an alarm

What can I do about a smoke detector than uses batteries very frequently.?

Both ULI and Kidde detectors installed in my house seem to be eating batteries . The ULI detector was manufactured in 2009. The Kidde one in 2010. ULI says it is warranted for 5 years, Kidde for 10 years. Kidde one has suddenly been false alarming carbon monoxide detected when hard wired. Could the hard wiring need to be replaced? My house was built in 1986. Detectors have been replaced several times over the years. The combo carbon monoxide/smoke detectors seem to have more false alarms and are eating up 9 V back up batteries. Help!


Answer
If the voltage is wrong it could be killing the alarms and they are constantly on the battery hence the reason they seem to go through batteries and false alarm.

You could have AC detectors and your home smoke detector circuit is DC (not good).

You could have DC detectors and the power on the line is AC(not good).

Or the voltage could be wrong it may be 120v ac and the detectors are 24vac. (not good)

Sounds to me like it is time to break out the volt meter and do some sleuthing and them go get the right detectors or rewire the detector power circuit in your home.
