Guys about four years ago I installed a Scantronics 965 hard wired system in my rural office premises and in all that time have only had one instance of it having been triggered. According to the log this was due to the vibration alarm on the large glass doors having been triggered at about 2.00 in the morning of a very still night a couple of years ago.
Fast forward to two nights ago at just before midnight the alarm triggered.....I have two Masterblasters, one outside and one inside the building, and I jumped out of bed and armed with a powerful torch and in my pyjamas ran the 100 yards to the office building! No sign of anyone about so I turned off the alarm and reset it. The following morning I looked at the log and it showed that the exit door circuit had triggered. The CCTV system did not show any intruder so I have put the alarm activating down to a fault in the alarm system.
The exit door is the only one on the circuit and is controlled by a magnetic switch let into the edge of the three inch thick oak door. I have tried banging very hard on the door to try to trigger the alarm but without success.
Can any member suggest what may have happened and what I should do to avoid it in the future. Would it be wise to replace the door switch?
Many thanks
