If it is sounding a full alarm instead: the maker’s emergency instruction

Smoke alarm

X-Sense: never ignore any alarm (XS01-WR manual). Check for signs of smoke or fire; if you see or smell smoke, evacuate immediately and call emergency services. If you are unsure what the hazard is, contact emergency services for guidance.

The X-Sense alarm on these pages senses smoke only. For a carbon monoxide alarm, follow its own maker’s instruction.

What X-Sense says to do about this signal

  1. X-Sense warns that silence is only a convenience and does not correct a problem: always check your home after any alarm. Other interlinked alarms can still go off during the 9 minutes.

From Wireless Interlinked Smoke Alarm XS01-WR — User Manual. If your alarm’s pattern is not exactly this, check the manual for your model: X-Sense models do not all use the same signals.

The same state sounds and looks different on each make — which is why a chirp pattern cannot be read without the brand.
