That noise is to alert you that your smoke detector's battery is low and should be replaced.

Anytime your detector goes off, it is important to pay attention. If the detector is sounding a loud alarm because it senses the presence of smoke, check your home thoroughly. If you smell smoke or are unable to locate a fire, call 911. If you don't smell smoke, the detector may be reacting to the presence of dust, steam, or a small insect. Dust and bugs can be removed by a vacuum cleaner. If the detector is just chirping, it probaly means that the battery is low.

Usually, this means the sensor has a low battery. If you need help or are unsure about this, call us on 911. We will send someone over to help you.

Your smoke detector should be checked monthly and your batteries changed when switching between standard and daylight savings time.

Some ICD’s make audible tones for a variety of situations. Some are programmed to do a “self check” every day at a specific time. If there is a problem, broken lead, low battery, etc. it will make a noise. If there is a more immediate problem the device may emit a constant tone. If your device starts making a tone contact the doctor/hospital that monitors your device. They will advise you what to do next.

If the beeping is coming directly from the smoke detector itself, then it is not part of your CWR system. Most smoke detectors installed by CWR have no internal sounders built in, and rely on the keypads/sirens to create an audible alert. If your keypad does not show a fire alarm/fire trouble of some sort, then the detector is not part of our system and you will need to call a licensed electrician to handle it.

You should test your smoke detector monthly. Most detectors have a button you can push to test them. Change the batteries in your smoke detector at least once a year.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which may not be immediately detectable, but prolonged exposure to CO gas will cause flu like symptoms including nausea, dizziness and headache and can result in death. Phone 911 and a Fire Unit will respond and test for the presence of Carbon Monoxide with a CO Meter. If high levels are detected fire personnel will locate the source, usually a faulty appliance, and secure it. They will attach a DANGER DO NOT OPERATE TAG to the unit.

Very, very little. If you have a photo-electric smoke detector, there is no radioactive substance in it. If you have the much more common "ionization" type, there is a radio-nuclide in it --- usually 1 micro-curie of americium-241. A micro-curie is one-millionth of one curie (Question 16). Americium-241 emits alpha particles (Question 17), which are kept inside the case. It also emits some gamma radiation which can penetrate the case.

Every smoke detector has a test button, usually in the center of the detector. Press the test button and hold it for a few seconds. If it is working correctly, the alarm will sound and will automatically stop when you release the button. Remember to test your smoke detector monthly and change the batteries twice a year.
