The Mains Smoke alarm in my hallway was beeping for a new battery even when a new battery was inserted and had been only lasting a few weeks every time a fresh 9V battery was inserted so i decided that as it was installed circa 2010-2013 it was past it, and ordered a new one. I went for the "Hi spec " make thinking its the same make as the existing so hopefully is a straight replacement wiring connector and baseplate, but no things are never that straightforward I connected the new connector to the terminal block in the ceiling then the new baseplate chiselling out some more plasterboard so the connector didnt foul when it rotated to lock, so all good then ?......... No soon as i connected it it set the other interconnected alarms off ,and I couldnt silence the others , only by disconnecting the interlink wire will the others silence, which is what I have done for now. So will I have to replace my other 2 alarms ( another smoke in downstairs hall and a heat one in the kitchen ) How compatible are these / different makes ??
