Is AICO Ei141 the same as Ei141RC?
The Ei141RC replaces the previous Ei141 model but can still be used to extend and interlink to an existing Ei140 system. Available in two versions: Ei141RC ionisation smoke alarm with Easi-Fit base for quick installation (for new installations by a qualified electrician)
How do I stop my Ei141 smoke alarm from beeping?
If a smoke alarm with sealed backup battery is not out of date, shows the green light and still beeps occasionally, press the test button for more than 10 seconds to reset the alarm. If this does not help then you will need to replace your detector head.
How long do Aico smoke alarms last?
Most of our alarms have a 10 year life, after which they should be replaced to ensure you carry on getting the best protection.
Will a chirping smoke detector still work?
Smoke detectors are intended to make a chirping noise once the battery needs changing. The smoke alarm must clear errors after the battery is changed, but it might continue to chirp even after you change the batteries. This usually occurs in electrical powered smoke alarms with a battery backup.
What are ionisation smoke detectors most suitable for?
Designed to react quickly to fast flaming fires, ionisation smoke alarms are most sensitive to small particles. When fires produce little or no smoke but the fuel is subject to rapid combustion, the ionisation smoke detector is the quickest to sense its presence.
Which is best optical or ionisation?
Optical alarms detect larger particles of smoke, the kind that are produced by a slow smouldering fire before it bursts into flames. Ionisation alarms are cheaper and more readily available than optical alarms, however, their sensitivity means people often take the batteries out rendering the alarm completely useless.
Why is my mains smoke alarm going off?
Besides the obvious reason (having a fire in your home), there are a few potential causes to your fire alarm going off unexpectedly including dust, insects crawling inside your smoke detector, humidity and low batteries.

Why does my mains smoke alarm keep going off?
The most likely reason smoke detectors go off unexpectedly is that people aren’t changing the batteries in them often enough. In most sensors you might think of, the strength of the signal goes up when they detect what they’re supposed to.
Why does my fire alarm beep every 30 seconds?
If a smoke alarm is chirping consistently, one of the following may be the reason: The battery may need to be replaced. An alarm will chirp every 30 to 60 seconds for a minimum of seven days. With a “low battery” announcement, disconnect the unit and replace the batteries.
