[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 288520, member: 16"] My sound meter cost a lot more than that. I also use a hairdrier as i am impatient and many years back i melted some heat detectors with a heat gun, the hairdrier is a bit more gentle I have just found one answer. Clause 13.1.2 states (in my words) that with this sort of alarm you should get 85db at 3m and a typical fire door will drop this by 20db. A typical reading will be around 55db at the bedhead & they have found no evidence of lives being lost due to this. Its like being back in college ! [/QUOTE]
