turn on the .AC. power. The green A.C. Power On Indicator should be lit when the alarm is operating from A.C. power. ckeck to ensure the power did not trip the breaker+. If you more than one and this is the only one chirping replace it, units have a life span of 5 years. remove unit an look at the expiration date. if it was me I would buy a new one. they are not expensive. home dept Lowe's or amazon
I am assuming that your detectors are interconnected to all sound at the same time.
Pushing the test button is not the same electrically as an alarm activation.
The Kiddie manual does not mention the sequence of operations when the test button is pressed. You may want to contact Kiddie to find out if this is ok.
You can also test your detector with smoke to see if they all sound like they are supposed to.
If this is a Kidde 1275CA alarm, then grip the outside and turn it to release from mounting bracket, then on the underside is the battery housing to be slid off to replace!
They only chirp for two reasons:
1. The sensor is past its useful life and needs replaced
2. There is a power issue with the battery. Even the ones that are hardwired into the electrical system need a battery.
The normal condition for the green LED is solid. A flashing green LED indicates memory of a prior alarm condition. Press the test for at least 2 seconds to reset the detector memory.
Your alarms are interconnected, meaning when one alarm goes off, they
all go off. The alarm with the flashing green light is the one that
triggered the alarm. If it only went off once, it was probably just fluke thing, and you can reset the alarm memory (flashing green light) by pressing the test button. If it happened more than once, you should try cleaning the alarm. Do this by removing the alarm, and blowing compressed air into the sensor opening (located around the back side perimeter of the alarm). If this fails, replace it.
