1) Optical detector: - Dust or other particles in the air can trigger a false alarm by scattering light and causing the detector to mistake it for smoke. - Steam or humidity in the air can also trigger a false alarm by refracting light and causing the detector to mistake it for smoke. - Insects or small animals moving in front of the detector can also trigger a false alarm by blocking or reflecting light in a way that the detector interprets as smoke.
2) Heat detector: - High humidity or condensation can cause the detector to falsely detect a rise in temperature and trigger an alarm. - Nearby heat sources such as ovens, heaters, or direct sunlight can cause the detector to falsely detect a rise in temperature and trigger an alarm. - Dust or debris buildup on the detector can insulate it and cause it to falsely detect a rise in temperature.

Optical detectors:
- Dust and dirt accumulation on the optical sensor - Steam or smoke from cooking or other sources - Fumes from solvents, cleaning agents, or adhesives - Insects or debris entering the detector - High humidity or condensation - Misalignment of the detector
Heat detectors:
- High ambient temperature caused by heating appliances, sunlight, or proximity to hot surfaces - Excessive heat from nearby light fixtures or other sources - Rapid temperature changes, such as after a door or window is opened - Steam or moisture from showers, baths, or other sources - Heat buildup from overloaded electrical circuits or malfunctioning equipment - Installation in a location where the detector is not exposed to free air circulation
