My house had an ADT system installed when built about 10 years ago. I
have no literature on how to test the smoke alarms, whether they are
battery or centrally powered, photoelectric or ionization etc. I have
held a smoking match beneath it with no result.
The units look like the usual round SDs you'd see at Ace Hardware,
except that they have a perforated round (~ 2.5" diameter) metallic
part extending outside the plastic housing (facing down - think mini
shower head). There is a red LED recessed in the center.
I have tried all possible modes of opening the housing I can think of
- no luck.
From this description I hope someone can at least advise how to open
the SD without destroying it, so that I can check for a battery.
(ADT has been no help whatsoever to me, but this is not ADTSucks so I
won't go into that.)
