Customer Reviews For The First Alert Wireless Interconnect Battery Operated Smoke Alarm
Product works great easy to install and works when power goes out something I need in a smoke/CO detector. Need to add another unit but can no longer find the units.
Works everytime
I am very satisfied with the performance of this product. It works very well.
Always Works perfect
Very easy to install.
Smoke detector SA501CN-3ST. Installed 3 of these smoke detectors on 3 different levels of my home. There were metal ducts in the vicinity. All 3 detectors communicate fine, and all 3 alarm when any are tested. I wanted to be able to hear alarms from anywhere in my home, and these detectors make that possible.
Product arrived on time and in good shape. Instructions were easy to follow and product works well. Thanks.
It only took a little time to set up the smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and they are excellent and all work together extremely well.
Great
Al products on this order are great. We use them all the time.
It works as promised.
Great alarm device. I bought three and gave them to my daughter after she moved in to an older two story home with a basement. The alarms work just like wired-in alarms. When one goes off all three go off.
We installed all of these in our community theater building. Its an old schoolhouse built in 1910. Some of them dont communicate wirelessly, but some do.
I am a fire prevention professional. I have researched the sensor technology and realize that photoelectric is the best choice. Interconnected technology is also the recommended choice.
EASY TO INSTALL, EASY TO USE.
Great customer service. Fast delivery. Very pleased.
Easy check out, speedy delivery. Very satisfied.
easy to set up
you had the products i needed that they did not have at the big box stores. Ordering was easy and even standard shipping was fast.
Other reasons include: It could be a different device or appliance such as a security system, monitor, carbon monoxide alarm, or other device which has a similar low battery or alert signal. Some of the same factors that cause unwanted alarms can cause intermittent alarms: dust and insects in the alarm or power interruptions in hardwired alarms. Improper wiring on AC or AC/DC smoke alarms. AC alarms will chirp every 5 seconds if the interconnect wire is grounded. The orange interconnect wire should NEVER be grounded; it should only be used to interconnect other smoke alarms or compatible devices.
- You may not be holding the test button down long enough. Try holding it down for up to 10 seconds (20 seconds on photoelectric models) .
- Your battery may not be installed properly or snapped all the way in place. Even if the alarm sounded briefly when the battery touched the terminals, you still need to make sure it is snapped securely in place. If the battery is loose, in cannot power the smoke alarm properly. After installing new batteries, be sure to test your smoke detector.
- Your AC power may not be on. AC and AC/DC units will have a power indicator light (red or green) that shines continuously when they are receiving electrical power.
- If you have a 10-Year model, the smoke alarm may not have been properly activated. If the tab broke away before the alarm was activated, you can use a toothpick to move the switch over to test the alarm.
- There may be insufficient battery power, try new batteries.
- Problems with voltage or insufficient electrical power (brown out) may cause a continuous weak sounding alarm. For AC or AC/DC models, temporarily disconnect power at the service panel until the brown out is over. If you do not restore the AC power, your smoke alarms cannot warn you of a fire.
- Incompatible warning device. If an incompatible alarm or auxiliary device is linked into a series of AC or AC/DC smoke alarms it may cause the system inadvertently go off.
- It is possible that your smoke alarm "silence" button was pushed by mistake. The alarm will now "chirp" once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.
- Are you sure it's the smoke alarm? Funny to ask, but other devices have similar low battery chirps or warning tones.
- Your "new" batteries may not be fresh. If batteries are stored, especially in cold areas like refrigerators, they lose their charge more quickly. Always check the freshness date on the package when buying new batteries. Keep plenty of replacement batteries on hand so that you are sure to always be protected by your smoke alarms.
If it's time to replace your alarms, consider the NEW 10-Year Life series and never have to worry about a battery replacement for the life of the alarm.10-Year alarms are available in smoke, carbon monoxide and combination alarms.
