Hi,
Foolishly I removed an old, broken smoke alarm without taking a photo or note of where the cables went; there's brown, black, grey and green/yellow (earth, obvs).
However its on a circuit with another identical (to the previous smoke alarm) smoke alarm down the hall so I've had a look at that one and the colours on that are:
Red - Live
Brown - Live
Grey - Neutral
Black - this smoke alarm has TWO black wires and they go to both Neutral and IC
With the new smoke alarm cable only having the brown, black, grey and green/yellow I'm a bit thrown on where they go so any qualified advice would be warmly received.
Thanks!
