    rcd ups zs

    could be something to do with your tester? are you using low current test on both tests? i had a problem like this with my fluke, it would add about .5 or so ohms on when using the low current soft test.

    Smoke alarm positioning in a House.

    think they have to be at least 600mm from a wall too. positioned where air would flow through the house which is normally hall and landing as said above. If you put a smoke alarm in kitchen its best to put an optical one to stop cooking from setting it off
