Interconnected Smoke Alarm

[Crabby]

Hey,

I just moved to a flat in a big building, and the fire alarm in my room is beeping intermittently. I figure the backup battery must be running low, so I unscrew it, to find that it is also mains-powered, and it says "don't remove battery whilst connected to AC power".

Now I'm pretty sure the alarms are interconnected, as the power plug is 3-pin. I'm worried that if I unplug the cable, it'll set the entire 6 storey building's fire alarms off. Does anyone know for sure if it will?

Much appreciated.

I wish I could risk that but I can't right now.

Ok I just manned-up and did it, and everything was fine!

Thanks a lot.
