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.

From Wireless Interlinked Smoke Alarm XS01-WR — User Manual and Smoke Detector Beeps and Sounds Decoded.

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. Clean the alarm (vacuum with the soft brush on the cover and vents), or replace it immediately.

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.

Fault on other brands

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