Call the company that produces your detector an ask them. Other wise try your local fire department. Some detectors always flash to let you know that they're on and functioning properly. Although, it could be broken or low on battery power.

There are hundreds of different types of smoke alarms. The red flashing light in some of them may be an indication that the battery is charged and operating, while in others it could be signalling that there is a problem of some kind.

The trend in international standards is to avoid using any red indicators for normal status, reserving red for emergency conditions.

If you speak of the indicator light on a smoke alarm flashing - it is due to a low battery. Replace the battery and the light will cease flashing.
