Smoke Detectors use things called LDR's or Light Dependent Resistors which lose resistance with an increase in natural light. So when there is a fire, smoke blocks out the natural light, alarming the smoke detector with an increase in resistance. Once the smoke is gone the resistance decreases and a current is allowed to flow to shut down the smoke detectors alarm. :)
If the batteries are dead it will shut off or if you havn't charged it it will go off and you need to charge it.
No, a carbon monoxide detector and a gas shut off valve serve different purposes and are not typically combined into a single device. A carbon monoxide detector is used to alert occupants of the presence of carbon monoxide gas, while a gas shut off valve is used to manually or automatically shut off the flow of gas in case of a leak or emergency.
if it is under the hood, it could be a small antifreeze or oil leak that when the engine is running the smoke is blown away, but when shut off it continues to burn off but is not blown away.
Yes, it should shut off when the batteries are fully charged. If not it is either a very old charger or it is defective. You do not want to overcharge the batteries so use a charger that shuts off automatically.
"A gas detector detects the presence of various gasses in a certain area that the detector has been placed. Since many gases are harmful, this is a useful item to have whether it be in your home or business. Several units will sound an alarm, and some will even shut down the source of the gas leak."
If they reach their full charge in 2 hours then the charger is suppose to shut off.
To shut down the umps you head-but them or smash them and when they stop and have smoke on them, that means they are destroyed/shut down. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Neither one should be shut off.
Pull batteries out of back or reset then wait a couple of minutes and it will shut off automatically.
Shut the car off and get out. Something is broken and if its producing smoke, it could catch on fire.
Shut up you fat monkey
