A smoke detector is an instrument that identifies the presence of smoke in a building and alerts the people, and enabling them to escape themselves from any mishap. Equipping a place with at least one smoke detector minimize the chances that the residents will die in a fire. A smoke detector is made up of different materials like steel, plastic, aluminum and other suitable materials. There are many types of smoke detectors available in the market in dissimilar shapes and very attractive colors. We can buy these equipments very easily in the market at affordable prices. We use these detectors in hotels, offices, malls, shopping centers, homes, factories, mills and almost in all the buildings. These detectors are generally fitted on the walls and roofs. These smoke detectors are now become an essential part of everyone’s life around the world.

A smoke detector false alarm is also known as nuisance alarm. There are many types of smoke detectors out of them all, some fire detectors are very sensitive due to which it buzzes unnecessarily. These alarm system have a small radioactive stuff that ionizes substances in the air and triggers an alarm if the attentiveness gets too high. A false fire alarm and detection systems respond as a result of either an increase in temperature or the existence of smoke. Unfortunately, these detectors also respond to things such as steam, cigarette smoke, smoke from vehicles, light smoke from cooking and many other kinds of smoke. These alarms can also get activated by some other reasons like some technical faults such as poor connections in the wiring. People also start ignoring these false alarms if they hear it on regular basis and it may cause many deaths at the time of actual incident.

Many times it is not suitable to run each wire directly to the control panel so the installer merges the points in a central location either in the upper floor or in the basement. From the joining point, a multi cable is spliced to the door and window and run back to the Control Panel. If these splices are not correctly connected, they will get activated over time and create false alarms. When a fire alarm turns off as a result of anything other than actual fire, this is considered to be an unnecessary fire signal. Smoke detector false alarm is nowadays very common around the world.

To prevent smoke detector false alarm, we should place the smoke detector away from kitchen or bathroom and we must clean the detector using the user manual guide of smoke detector.
