[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 555517"] IC - we have 13 smoke detectors wired in a series, so if 1 goes off- they all go off. They all have battery backups PLUS we have 3 as part of our alarm system. At 3:00am, a few days after we moved in, all 16 detectors went off. Coincidentally, our alarm was installed that day. We blamed them. We finally silenced them after a lengthy phone call, only to have them start up again. All 16. Again, silenced them and killed the power forgetting that they has battery back ups. It went on all night. H tried to yank them down - near impossible to do 16 in close ear splitting range at 4am. (He's climb the ladder, hands over his ears) we didn't even know where all of them were at that point! Needless to say- he called the builder, the alarm company & the electrician and INSISTED they make a 5 am service call! My ears are ringing just remembering it! (The original part of our home is from 1950, we put in a huge addition in 08 and have quite s few corridors as a result. The crazy building code required 13! detectors) [/QUOTE]
