响假警报的烟感器
False Alarm Issued by a Smoke Detector
昨天准备晚饭的时候,烟感器突然狂鸣不止,River和我赶紧检查厨房和其它各房间,除了厨房炉子上在小火炖鸡汤外,没有任何可疑之处。哪里有烟味呢?没过多久,烟感器又响警报了,我好生疑惑,房间里面明明只有鸡汤的香味吗?当烟感器第三次响警报时,我们赶紧打电话询问Superintendent。他说烟感器电池快没电时,也会鸣叫以示提醒。原来如此。我们把烟感器的电池拆了下来,准备周末更换电池。
今天上班时跟Simon聊了一下,他说烟感器没电时发出的响声一般来说是与正式警报不一样,没电时的警报声是不连续的警报。我联想起昨天的警报却是连续刺耳的鸣叫。Simon解释说也有可能是警报器太敏感了。我觉得这个警报器不是太敏感,而是“烂鼻子”,香味和烟味都还没分清楚呢,就响假警报误导人民群众。

why i can't post my comments?
That is really true since we experienced the same problem before. We used to have one somking detector right out of the bathroom. Every time, after taking a shower, if we forgot to turn on the fan to blow away the steam, definately, the detector would ring. This made us feel kind of confused because we doubted it is only "somking" or "everything" detector?
I have de-installed the detector. I will call maintenance service to have it fixed or replaced.
