Why does my First Alert Smoke Alarm keep going off for no reason?
- J
  Jeffrey McbrideAug 1, 2025
  If your First Alert Smoke Alarm is alarming for no apparent reason, it could be due to several factors: * **Dust or dirt in the sensing chamber:** Clean the unit's sensing chamber with a vacuum cleaner, following the unit's instructions. * **Improper location:** Refer to the unit's instructions for recommended and not recommended locations and relocate the unit if necessary. * **Unit malfunctioning:** Consider replacing the detector.

  If you see a "Low Battery" message on the keypad or the battery trouble LED is lit, this indicates that the system battery is low or missing. Look for "Bat" or “System Low Bat” message.

  If your First Alert FA2000C keypad is unresponsive, here's what might be happening: * **"CC" or "MODEM COMM" displayed:** The system is communicating with the downloader at the central station. Wait until the download session is finished. * **"d1" or "System Busy" displayed:** The system has just been powered and is in its 1-minute initialization. To bypass this time, press '#' + '0'. * **Keypad address setting incorrect:** The keypads must be set for address 31 (non-addressable mode).

What does it mean when my First Alert displays 'CHECK' and a zone number?
- S
  Samuel HolmesAug 20, 2025
  If your system displays “CHECK” and a zone number (1-5), the control has sensed an open circuit on one or more zones. Check the sensor or the loop wiring in the affected zone. The system will not display "System Normal" until this condition is corrected (or the affected zone is bypassed).

  If the "AC POWER" light is off, it indicates an interrupted AC power supply. Check the transformer connection and the power line circuit breaker.
