It is the responsibility of those that supplied them to do that?

I am too busy looking for places to plant poppies :D:D

what about some lovely boxes in centre of seating in the Market Hall?:hehetable

Is there enough light? :rolleyes:

Re: Smoke Alarm ?
 

Probably not but there has been plenty of "fertiliser" about down there for a while:D:D:rolleyes:

Re: Smoke Alarm ?
 

mine started going off this morning about 2am ... just a beeping noise not the full alarm ... have just rang rawtenstall fire station and he's going to try and sort replacements and come out today to replace them ...

Re: Smoke Alarm ?
 

not bad .. they've just been .. fitted 2 new ones .. and better ones than what i had .. and the instruction that if they started bleeping to ring accrington instead of rawtenstall .....:D:D:D

to say i only rang them up at 3.30pm .. they've been sorted and on their way back to the station .... 3 firemen it took ..2 to do the 2 smoke alarms and 1 to do the paperwork ....

Re: Smoke Alarm ?
 

Retlaw already answered this for you it is a SMOKE alarm, not a HEAT detector, heat will have no effect on a smoke alarm, how do you think this could possibly be in hot countries all the smoke alarms would constantly be going off. See below for an explanation on HEAT detectors

Fixed temperature heat detectors
This is the most common type of heat detector. Fixed temperature detectors operate when the heat sensitive eutectic alloy reaches the eutectic point changing state from a solid to a liquid. Thermal lag delays the accumulation of heat at the sensitive element so that a fixed-temperature device will reach its operating temperature sometime after the surrounding air temperature exceeds that temperature. The most common fixed temperature point for electrically connected heat detectors is 136.4°F (58°C). Technological developments have enabled the perfection of detectors that activate at a temperature of 117°F (47°C), increasing the available reaction time and margin of safety. This type of technology has been available for decades without the use of batteries or electricity as shown in the picture.

Rate-of-rise heat detectors

Rate-of-Rise (ROR) heat detectors operate on a rapid rise in element temperature of 12° to 15°F (6.7° to 8.3°C) increase per minute, irrespective of the starting temperature. This type of heat detector can operate at a lower temperature fire condition than would be possible if the threshold were fixed. Rate of rise detectors may not respond to low energy release rates of slowly developing fires. To detect slowly developing fires combination detectors add a fixed temperature element that will ultimately respond when the fixed temperature element reaches the design threshold.

you keep poppies out of this pal ! ! didnt get chance this pm to discuss em. Havent forgotten rhydings

Re: Smoke Alarm ?
 

well if it was me i would try new alarm
