Question:

what is wrong with my apartment fire alarm ?

IT beeps everytime anyone pass underneath it or just because..i check the battery it works .What can I do to fix it from beeping .all day long .

Answer:

sounds like just a faulty smoke alarm
I think something is wrong with your smoke detector. Find out what kind and what it actually detects(these guys are wrong) some smoke detectors detect heat, some smokealthough you'd have to be REALLY hot to set it offmaybe there's electrical interferance of some sort?
No, they do it to keep the dogs away.
if the room you are exercising in is very hot and humid, then what is happening is you are getting condensation build up within your smoke alarm. try moving it to the center of the room. Smoke detectors work by reading radioactive decay. Yes smoke detectors are radio active, but they do not have enough to harm you. an element within the smoke detector keeps giving off radio active decay. and then there is a Receiver that picks up that decay. when smoke passes between the radioactive source and the Receiver, then the alarm goes off. same thing with moisture.
I guess thats a good reason to think your body heat might be making the fire alarm go off. Its a faulty alarm, it does not go off because of body heat. L.O.L
