steveandlisa Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Can the "Fire Angel" warning alarm device become faulty? The reason I ask is because mine has sounded on numerous occasions for no apparent reason. I replaced the battery but it still went off intermittently, I've even tested the alarm and reset and checked the battery voltage (9 and bit volts) still the same problem >:-( Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phalange Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 If it’s an optical smoke detector try vacuuming the little vents as dust can build up and cause intermittent false alarms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Steve When I took delivery of my Rapido motorhome in April 2015 it had been fitted with a Fire Angel smoke alarm powered by a replaceable 9-volt battery. Within a few months the alarm began to ‘beep’ spontaneously and regularly. It was plain that this was not due to a too-low battery voltage, so I contacted Fire Angel who replaced the unit under warranty. As phalange has said, you could try vacuuming the alarms’s apertures to see if that does any good, but if this fails to address the issue, replacement won’t be expensive.

colin Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Damp can also sometime affect alarms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will86 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 If the alarm is triggered by a sensitive beam then steam or a misty atmosphere will set it off or as has been suggested a damp atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potus4388 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I had exactly the same problem with mine and it was replaced under warranty. I have had no problems since, all working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
