Trying not to burn down my house
Guess which bit of electrical kit in my house has the scorch marks from
an overheating electrical connection? Yup, the smoke alarm. I think the pin wasn't mounted to the board very well. Firex FADC230 Any preferred replacements? Mains/battery, ionising detector, mounted to a batten on the ceiling, so no tricky bits. Screwfix have a "Dicon", a "Fireangel", and a "Firstalert" - the latter two are 10 year battery models. I see my Firex has a 10 year life despite being mains powered - I guess this is supposed to be the lifetime of the radiation source. |
