Hello,
Much thanks for your thoughts on my older post regarding ionization smoke detector particles. Appreciate your help and time.
This has all started with my trying several brands, and models, of smoke detectors for my upstairs (typical colonial house) that do not give a 3 or 4 chirps once a day or so. Tried several models of Kidde, First Alert, and BRK (ionization and photoelectric) and they all do this occasional chirp. Driving me crazy.
Happens totally randomly, and the upstairs location seems to be about as "normal" a location as you can have. In a hall ceiling, nothing extreme that I can correlate with. No kitchen odors, etc.
Again, it's only a few chirps; never the alarm that would sound if it ever detected an actual fire.
I was intrigued by your temperature statement as a triggering possibility: "...and by air temperature changing rapidly"
Might you elaborate on this rapidly changing air temp possibility a bit more as relates to ionization (and also photoelectric) types, please.
Any other thoughts on this would be most appreciated.
Thanks, bob
