Hi All
I recently had a problem with a loud electrical humming/buzzing coming from my Scantronic 9448+ burglar alarm. I had just had most of the house rewired and a new fusebox installed but the electrician said it was more likely to be a problem with the battery/transformer on the alarm rather than the new fusebox.
Anyway, after about 1 week the humming stopped. Since then, the alarm has been going off intermittently when set but it is only 1 window sensor that is triggering it.
So I called a local alarm company and requested a service. They came round and did a walk test and checked the battery but there was no fault found. The engineer reduced the sensitivty of the sensor to see if that would stop it going off.
Unfortunately, that hasn't helped and the alarm is still going off intermittently. I phoned the company back and they said alll they can do now is replace the sensor for £50+VAT. I already paid £96+VAT for the service.
Does this sound like a faulty sensor? I'd appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks
Matt
