The smoke detectors do not have a test button and I disabled the security system (unplugged unit and battery backup) cause I don’t use it and the battery backup was failing, causing the security panels to chirp. Now it dawned on me that the smoke detectors might have been disabled.

no namer asked:


We have a surge protector, and I’m always worried that I have too much plugged into it. I have a computer, the monitor, the phone, printer, which is rarely on, and the internet box. The computer stuff except the printer is on a lot, and I always think it’s too much. I’m not good with electric, but is that too much?

Crystal F asked:


Does anyone know of some kind of equipment that makes a generator kick on immediately? I want something that makes a store lose power for no more than a second. Something like a battery back up that attaches to the generatorI have been told that this exists and am looking for it for a job my company is doing and I have been able to find no info on it. Even if someone knows the name of it that would help. I got in touch with a guy and he said it does exist and he was going to get me some more info but I have never heard back from him after 4 days and 20 messages..lol! Someone please help me so I dont get chewed by my boss!!!
Thanks for all the help so far! Does Racto Panel ring a bell with anyone? Thats the term someone told my boss but I was unable to find anything with that name. The want something that kicks on right away, like say maybe the lights blink and thats it. They want it to be able to stay on long enough for the generator to kick on.
