  1. Hamzah, the question was asked by jon71 almost 3 years ago, it was the only post he ever made (Look at the speech bubble on the left, it clearly shows just 1) he has never been back since, so will never read or your question reply to you, the only available reply has been given. On any forum, it is never a good idea to reply to old posts.
  2. Life safety devices should be mounted in acordance with the manufacturers instructions, I have yet to see any instructions that state it should be placed under the dogs bed.
  3. I would suggest you check the date on all of your detectors, as they are no longer made, and may have passed their working life of 10 years. If you do decide to change them, the good news is that all Aico smoke alarms use the same easifit base, except for the CO alarms which will need the new easyfit base. (The same as the other bases you already have)
  4. That's nice, it's also common. You will have to find what it is that beeps, have you tried looking in the loft? in cupboards, in that old box that no one touches? Apart from that, it is not possible to help you from this end of a keyboard.
  5. No, Blackwood fire is a "Fire protection company" based in Wales, like most fire protection companies they buy things in, in quantity and have their own brand sticker put on it. It is only my guess that it is a roshni, your screen shot is of such a low resolution it's not possible to be 100% accurate, also as you say it is no longer there, so it can not be proven one way or the other.
  6. That looks very much like a "Roshni" fire alarm sounder. A very common conventional sounder. It has a choice (via DIL switches) of 32 tones. It operates at 24v (But will work at 12v) Still available today new for less than £30
  7. I would suggest you contact the boiler installer to establish why your boiler beeps. I would also suggest you buy and install a carbon monoxide alarm, one with a digital display is best such as the kidde unit. Click here as it not only has a digital display it also has a peak level reading too.
  8. Your alarm is 7 years old, the Deta 1151 smoke alarm is obsolete. I would suggest you change the complete alarm, also if you have any other Deta 1151 smoke alarms I suggest you change those too.

    I would suggest you call a locksmith and get a new lock fitted.
  10. Fire testing of furniture is a very rigorous and expensive procedure and often costs more than the single item being tested, so it would be cheaper to buy a new item of furniture and give that away. Also, after rigorous fire testing the item will be severely burnt (Due to how it will be tested) writing the item off. But if you are a private individual, there is nothing stopping you from selling it to another private individual, so long as you do not turn this into a business.
  11. There are generally two types of Emergency Light. Maintained and Non Maintained. Maintained has a permanent mains supply, its light source is illuminated all the time. Non Maintained has a permanent mains supply but will only illuminate when the device has a power failure. Some non maintained Emergency lights can be configured as maintained. You may have purchased a Maintained light instead of non maintained light, or you may have configured it wrong.
  12. There is no regulation that says that fire detection devices must be replaced after 10 years, and when tested so long as a device works as it should it still complies, however it is also recommended that the manufactures instructions should also be noted. In the case of your System sensor heat detector and your Honeywell smoke detector both state "They can not last forever, and we recommend replacement after 10 years" I have seen detectors that are over 10 years still work when tested. There is of course nothing to stop you paying to have them all changed any time you wish.
  13. To silence all of your smoke alarms after ascertaining there is no fire you press the test button. This should silence all smoke alarms. After 10 minutes of the silence button being pressed the detectors will "reset" As for which smoke alarm initiated the alarm condition the manual is not specific, but I would suggest you look at each smoke alarm and see which one is flashing differently.
  14. I would be asking who told you a CO2 extinguisher should have a gauge?
  15. If such a device exists you would need to interface it to your existing fire alarm panel, this would NOT be a DIY option. Alternately, you can get smoke alarms that can (via an interface) signal your mobile phone.
