Hi,
Out of the blue our Firex smoke alarms started sounded and would not stop.
I switched it off from the mains but then the battery kicked in.
The 3 alarms in the house were all sounding.

When the test button was pressed it would stop it for a few minutes.

I disconnected one of the alarms and the issue has stopped.
Replaced the battery reconnected and it started again.

I have now disconnected one of the units .
Could there be a short or I noticed the alarm had a Sept 2013 expiry date .... would this be the issue ?

Any help appreciated....

if all electrical connects are sound and all have fresh batteries, next step might be dust. Vacuum the units using the upholster brush.
