I have the same smoke detector system which beeps constantly. I changed all the batteries and the darn thing still beeped. Finally it dawned on me to cut all the power source to test and see whether, or not the batteries were working. I discovered that two of my batteries was installed incorrectly. Now the beeping is gone.
I have an alarm that beeps; are all the alarms on the same system? When one battery is dead does it effect the other alarms? Do you need to change them every year as you do non electric alarms?

I had that happen to me and it was driving me crazy. I finally went out and bought all new ones and replaced them. Bingo no more beeping. Good luck
Do all hard wired smoke detectors have batteries? Mine was chirping on and off and when I went up to open and see there was no battery. Is that normal?

If you don't have a user manual, use the manufacturer and model number. Go online and search their web site to see if/where the battery is. Also there may be a help line you can call.
I was getting ready for work this morning when all of the sudden I hear this long continuous beep coming from my smoke alarm. I opened it up, there were no batteries, and it was still making this noise. So I thought that maybe there could be a back up battery or something, so I unhooked it and disconnected it entirely, but it still was making the noise! It seemed to be coming from the ceiling. And it's still doing it as I type! Can some one help me figure out how to stop this before I go absolutely insane?

The alarm system is probably wired through the house, and your other alarms may be going off.
My smoke detectors are OK on battery back-up, but when I turn the power back on they start beeping non stop. I keep the breaker off but need to fix this soon. Any ideas? Thanks.

You need to replace the smoke detectors. Even though they are hard wired in, they need to be replaced. Keep yourself safe and do this soon.
I know this sounds strange. We have electric smoke detectors. Are there batteries in them also? We have one that has started beeping and we can't stop it. Is there a battery in it or do we simply have to replace it? We have lived here 2 years (new) all the other batteries are OK. Our old house had electric smoke detectors and they never went bad. We lived there 15 years.

Yes, there is still a battery. It's in case of a power outage for backup.
I recently changed the batteries in 3 hard wired smoke detectors. After about 1 day (happened twice) they all go off at the same time. Any advise please? By the way I tried holding the test button down with the batteries out but no luck.

Sometimes, according to my electrician, heat and high humidity can set them off.
There's about 6 fire alarms in my house. One alarm started going off then, all the other ones went off for about 30min. Finally it all stopped, but then started again. Now that all the beeping stopped, one continues to beep every minute.
I changed the battery and it still beeps, so I flipped the battery figuring it was in backwards. The darn thing still beeps, I pushed the test button and that didn't work. I don't know what else to do, and I need some sleep. I'd cut the power, but it's my grandparents house so I don't want to do anything I'd get in trouble for. Any advice would help.

Get the manufacturer's name off the unit and call them. They are the experts.
I have an Ei154TL heat detector that won't stop beeping. Why is this, when it's powered by the main as well?

I would check to see if the heater has a battery or not as that is what is most always the problem with detectors beeping for apparently no reason. Even if it is hooked up to main, it just might have a battery. (?) Or google for "heat detector beeping" & check out those links. Good luck! Definitely not something to ignore, I would think.
How do I disable a wired smoke alarm? Mine has been going off at all hours of the day and night. An electrician tightened up the wires as he said they were a bit loose, but it's still going off. I checked to see if I could change the battery, but it says on the side that the battery cannot be replaced so I'm stuck.

My hardwired smoke detector keeps beeping. I tried turning off all breakers, but it still beeps. I tried vacuuming the unit and wiping, that didn't help. It beeps about every 60 seconds. I disconnected the detector from the wiring, but it still beeps from the hardwired sensor. How can I get it to stop?

Call the manufacturer-if all else fails-you may need to get it fixed or buy a new one Good Luck. : )
Our electronic smoke detectors are going off during the night hours. This has happened last night 3 times. It is a warning beep because of a low battery. Does anybody know anything about this?

Sometimes it needs vacuumed. If there are fresh batteries even fire department will tell you vacuum even if it appears clean inside.
Why does my smoke detector beep after the battery is removed?
How do I fix an annoying, beeping, hard wired smoke detector? I had an electrical guy come to take a look at it and he couldn't find the problem.
My hard wired smoke detector won't stop beeping. I've read all the old posts about this topic and nobody has answered my particular problem. I already tried replacing the battery (didn't work).
I have a brand new photo cell fire alarm; it is hard wired. It won't stop chirping. I read all the responses, but this is brand new, so why would the battery be an issue? Thanks.
My fire alarm keeps chirping, but I took the alarm out. There are just wires hanging there and it's still chirping.
We have been our new home for 9 months now and last week our 3 smoke alarms started beeping on the hour, every hour.
My contractor has installed electric smoke detectors and they are beeping non stop. Is it because of the dust in the house or something else?
If a smoke detector is hard-wired, does it still mean there is a battery which needs changing, if it is beeping? Thanks.
My smoke alarm keeps beeping even though I have turned the power off at the main and removed the battery. Is there a back up built in it?
