Questions and answers

You can determine the cause of the beeping in your Crossfire CFS10 by checking the warning lights and the pattern of chirps:
1. Low Battery: The red WARNING light will flash every 30 seconds, accompanied by a horn chirp for at least 7 days. This indicates that the battery is low and the alarm needs to be replaced.
2. End-of-Life Warning: The red WARNING light will double flash every 30 seconds, accompanied by a horn chirp. This indicates that the smoke sensor has reached its End-of-Life, and the alarm must be replaced.
3. Smoke Chamber Cleaning Needed: The yellow WARNING light will flash every 30 seconds, accompanied by a horn chirp. This means the smoke chamber needs to be removed and cleaned.
4. CO Alarm Activation: If the WARNING light is solid red and the horn emits four beeps, the alarm has been triggered by a remote signal from a CO alarm.
By observing the warning light color and the beep pattern, you can determine if the issue is battery-related or another problem.
