Hi all. I have a situation that I can't get my head round. Smoke alarms, & their function thereof.:Sad:
All smoke alarms in our previous caravans & now motorhomes could be silenced when they activated, by pressing the "test button" Now I find that this no longer is the case.
In my newish 2007 MH, the smoke alarm doesn't shut off when activated & the button is pressed, but continues until the bacon aroma is dissipated from it? The "shut off" syndrome also applied to the alarms in the house, but no longer, they too continue until they are ready, in their own time, to be quiet.
To take this one step further. When they used to shut off by pressing the test button, it never occured to me, but it does now, because I'm trying to figure out what's different,
& that is. How come the very button one pressed to activate a test on the alarm, was also pressed to de-activate it Pressing it completes the circuit, yet pressing it again used to shut it off??? The mind boggles, well mine does over this query.
Cheers
