Question:

How to stop fire alarm from going off when light is turned on?

We have a fire and CO detector that I removed from the ceiling to paint it.After I removed it I saw in tiny print to shut it off before removing. I really am not familiar with what it looks like off hand as I'm at work.It is sensitive to the light being turned on and it goes off every time we turn the light on. It says warning, carbon monoxide levels are high, then it says carbon monoxide levels are 0 PPM and stops.They are all new and all of them have gone off at least twice since moving in and only when the light is turned on. They go off within seconds.How can I get this one to stop going off EVERY time? Like I said, I'm at work and not familiar off hand with what's on it. I'd hope there's some kind of reset button? Is it too close to the light? It's maybe 2-3 feet away from the light.I'm sure I can figure it out eventually, but it's just weird to never have a problem this bad with it until now.

Answer:

Yes; even at the same joint. I have an outdoor boiler/hydronic system and wish I'd gone with this in the first place rather than the CPVP feed. 20 yrs. with hot water boiler (wood).
i would bet that you have asthma. it may only happen on rare occasions i would lay money that not having the reaction when you switched to glass was merely a coincidence. if i were you i would go to your doctor and tell him about the reaction (leave out what you were doing at the time) but let him know that its a reaction that you have sometimes but very rarely and get an inhaler for those emergency situations. also to ther person who chose to answer a question that they obviously know nothing about, none of those methods of smoking require anyone to burn plastic and if you are burning plastic you are doing it wrong.
