Hi all,I work for a multifamily owner/operator in New England and am looking to compare field experience with the newer BRK / First Alert Precision Detection hardwired alarms, primarily:
  • SM110V-AC
  • SMCO110V-AC
These replaced older BRK models.Since installation, we've experienced an ongoing number of nuisance smoke alarm activations with these devices. I am trying to determine whether our experience is unique or whether others have observed similar behavior.For property managers, maintenance directors, facilities teams, electrical contractors, or housing operators:
  • Have you installed these newer Precision Detection models?
  • Did nuisance alarm frequency change after replacing older alarms?
  • Have you experienced overnight activations without an obvious source?
  • Have maintenance callbacks increased, decreased, or stayed the same?
  • Has BRK/First Alert provided any explanation or solution that helped?
Any feedback or real-world experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.-Kevin
