Week 5: Test the Smoke & Fire Alarms Carbon Monoxide Detectors Keep your home safe with this quick but crucial check! - Test each alarm by pressing the button—listen for a loud, clear sound. - Replace batteries if the alarm doesn’t sound or is weak. - Check expiration dates—smoke alarms last ~10 years, CO detectors ~5-7 years. - Vacuum or dust the units to keep sensors clear. - Have a fire escape plan and make sure everyone in your home knows it! Safety Tip: Install alarms on every level of your

How to Test Smoke Detector In this video I demonstrate using a Megger MFT how to carryout the continuity of the cpc, polarity and insulation resistance tests for this smoke detector circuit (likewise this could be a CO detector). This circuit is wired in FP200 and MICC cable (Pyro or MI Cable) via a fuse connection unit. This circuit is similar to one in unit 107 of the City and Guild. The same testing procedure will be required when testing a CO detector during AM2, AM2S and AM2E end point asse
