Default fire alarm system

I've read that fire alarm systems need to be replaced on ten year

Included are smoke detector/transmitter, keyboard, and panel. *The
system is 12 years old. My initial thought was to replace all the
detector transmitters now. *Over the past year two of the detector/
transmitters (I have 4) have malfunctioned. *Should I replace the

I doubt that the whole system would need replaced. Read the manual for
your particular system. At most I would replace the smole detectors.
Smoke detectors can build up dust and debris inside them.
