Mr

Hi all,

Found this forum due to having my Ei141 smoke alarms going off at 5am in the morning - first time it’s happened so we were very rattled by the sound.

apologies I’m not too familiar posting on forums but would like some advice, I’ve called the local council for my property (I live in the UK) who have changed 2 out of the three alarms due to being old according to the person today.

No smoke was present or anything of the sort when the alarms went off and they all go off at once which to my understanding is interconnected via mains.

im a little worried as I do still have one old potentially faulty alarm? I will be calling for this to be replaced but was informed I may need to wait, I live with someone who is disabled as well as have two kittens and it’s a rather traumatic experience as we were not use to this at all. My question is if I remove the old alarm from the ceiling panel will it cause any issues or potential to set off again despite not being attached to the ceiling panel? 
 

tldr: if I remove an interconnected ei141 smoke alarm from its ceiling panel which also does not have its own battery inside can this smoke alarm which has been removed still go off and set off the other alarms?

ideally I would like to remove this one and keep the two newer models as I’m worried it is faulty and will set off again which in turn will set off all the alarms.
