Has anyone found good smoke/fire/co2 alarms to use onboard? The FirstAlert ones we have keep going off randomly, sometimes in the middle of the night. Maybe due to humidity?
Fire/smoke/CO2 alarms
- Thread starter skunther
- Start date
For CO alarms our e36 had wired in alarms. The attached pic shows the replacements we found. Marine approved and work well. No issues or false alarms. One is installed in the salon near the Nav station, the other is in the aft cabin.
Do you have lead acid batteries? Or stored solvents? Are the alarms near them? Outgassing batteries and solvents will cause false CO alarms. I don't think humidity plays a part unless it is actually steam in the air.
Otherwise, I think we have the same combined units as you do, and don't get false alarms (no lead acid batteries and solvents all stored outside living space).

Do t they always go off at night? At this point I think they are engineered to have the low battery alarm only go off in the middle of the night.
