Defect description
Pic by Doug Edwards, Acorn Home Inpsections DWI14a
Defect: Ceiling mounted smoke detector (location) is aged, as evidenced by yellowed
case and missing proper cover and battery. The missing cover alters airflow to
sensor, making it either more or less sensitive than originally designed. Detector
is therefore questionable. Unable to test as required in present unpowered condition.
Recommend replacement with required type of device and tested as appropriate prior
to occupancy.
