Why would all the smoke alarms go off at 2 am if there was no smoke or fire ? They are all Kidde 1276

If they all went off at the same time there is either a fire or smoke, or the system is centrally powered and a short in the system set them off. I would speculate a power failure or surge may have done it.

If they are hardwired they are designed to all go off if one goes off. This way if you are in another part of the house you know there is an alarm within the house.

Mine did that a few times and it was one defective unit (garage) that kept triggering the system. They are quite sensitive to any kind of debris. You should also use a vacuum every 6 months and suck out any dust build up of the sensors to help prevent this.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

Some fire detectors detect carbon monoxide as well. If this is the case, you would more than likely not see anything fire related.

These alarms go off at the first vibration and do not stop until you turn it off. They are loud and you have a choice between two alarm sounds. If someone just jiggles your door knob, these will go off.

there is a rotate off base that mounts on an electrical box. The base is very similar to other smoke alarms and there is an electrical connector with about six inch pigtails.

You assign the smoke detector a certain code and then if it goes off, the main unit will send you a text and you will see by the code that it is your smoke alarm

So far, the alarm has never gone off for two hours, I have always shut if off manually. I don't believe it will shut off on its own.

I utilize these smoke detectors with my Vivint system (all 2GIG equipment including control panel) which is monitored by Vivint. At least on our system, if the smoke detectors sense smoke, then yes it will trigger an alarm and it is transmitted to the Vivint monitoring system and they will call the fire department. This just happened to us two days ago while cooking some overheated stir-fry. Fire department showed up 5 minutes later.

It depends on your surrounding ambient noise. We did hear ours going off in the basement from the upstairs and the other side of the house, but we didn't have much other noise on at the time. If we'd had the TV on, we probably wouldn't have heard it right away. If you change out the batteries For these when you do your smoke detectors, then it should sound the alarm for at least a day before losing power. Should be enough time for you to hear it when the house is quiet, like bedtime.

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

To be on the safe side, I change mine when I change the batteries in my smoke detectors. Never had a low battery alarm within that time frame.

No, it will only silence that one alarm. If the smoke has not cleared in 4 minutes, it will sound again. It will also silence the low battery beep for 24 hours. (If your batteries happen to be low).Why are you finding alarms with missing batteries?

I found that the connector on the wires was a little difficult to seat in the receptacle on the smoke alarm. You might look at the connector to be sure that the pins didn't bend. There is a "key" on the connector and the receptacle so that it should only mate one way.Also, did you put backup batteries in the alarm?Did the green light work in the old alarm?

Immediately. Ours went off because we did not set the low temp low enough. We had it set on -5 and it was -6 when I heard the alarm.

Our propane detector failed. It would alarm for no reason. It was also 10 years old.

From my experience it will go off with almost any movement. Even a strong wind blowing against the window will set the alarm off.

Don't think it will set off a smoke detector unless it's close. I've used mine inside homes and never had a smoke detector go off.

Yes, and yes. If the smoke detector goes off, then the whole alarm goes. It calls the numbers that you have listed, You can also add more fire alarms to the system, I don't know if it has a limit, but I personally have three fire alarms with it.
