How do you stop hard wired smoke alarms from beeping after an electric outage?
Beeping could be caused by several things: an electronic error, a low battery, an expired sensor, nuisance smoke, or an actual fire. NEVER ignore a beeping smoke alarm, or simply remove the batteries without installing new ones. Hundreds of people are killed each year because of disabled smoke alarms. If there is an intermittent beep (e.g., every thirty seconds or minute), it may indicate a low battery or that the sensor is expired. If replacing the batteries does not make it stop, consider replacing the entire unit. If nuisance smoke (or steam) sets off the smoke alarm (e.g., near a kitchen or bathroom), it should be removed and put into a different location, or replaced with a different type of sensor. False alarms have a tendency to cause people to ignore them, which can be deadly. If there is an actual fire, the way to stop the beeping is to put the fire out (if you can do so safely) and then "air out" the room until the smoke dissipates. You should consider replacing a smoke detector if it has been involved in an actual fire, as it may be permanently contaminated and no longer as sensitive as necessary.
Why was the smoke alarm invented?

What is the frequency that a smoke detector alarm can be heard at?
Most smoke alarms are about 3000 Hz according to Wikipedia, but they do make them in different frequencies for the hearing impaired.
Why does your smoke alarm upstairs makes a sound every 10 minutes?
The main cause of this is a low battery. Most smoke detectors are designed to send out a low beeping sound (sometimes followed by a flash of the red light in some but not all designs) when the battery is low, to make the home owner aware they need a new battery.If your smoke detector is wired up to the mains of the house (as the new UK laws state they should be in new homes), then the beeping/chirping will still occur if the backup battery needs replacing.Once you have changed the battery, you may need to hold the test button down for around 30 seconds, depending on the make and model of the alarm (refer to the manual).If changing the battery does not resolve the issue, then there is likely dust or dead insects interfering with the alarm. You should clean the alarm with compressed air.If the alarm is sticky from nicotine, you will most likely have to purchase a new one. Nicotine contains hydrocarbons - and so does fire and carbon monoxide. But nicotine is sticky and therefore almost impossible to clean out of the alarm filters. You should always avoid smoking in the same room as a smoke detector (or even better, don't smoke indoors at all).Failing that, the alarm might be faulty. If it is a battery operated one, purchase a new one. Or contact your local fire station on the non-emergency number. In the UK, some people such as pensioners are eligible for free smoke detector replacements from the local fire service.If it is an electrical one, contact the manufacturer or the local fire station on the non-emergency number.
