I can only think that possibly the microwave detection range is set too high and may be picking up movement outside the garage. But it doesn't explain why the PIR sensor would trigger aswell. Could be a faulty detector. Could be the wiring, a loose connection. Have you checked the wiring inside...

Has the garage detector been the cause of both false alarms?

Hi Generally, alarm movement detectors run on 9-15v DC. So It's safe to say voltage isn't the issue. However, voltage spikes from mains cable running parallel to alarm cable could be causing an issue. How often and when are these false alarms happening? Regards, Matt.

Hi dtokez, You can program and omit zones in program 1 just as you can with P2 and P3. Even though it comes with default settings, these can be changed. Only difference is you don't have to press P1 after entering code to set system on P1 as the alarm chooses P1 by default. When programming P1...

Hi With engineering mode you need the engineers code, which is different to the user code used to set and unset the alarm. Whilst the alarm is in engineer mode you can access with PIR without the alarm sounding. You would enter the engineers code before accessing the PIR. So when you open up...

Simply Open up PIR Enter code Probe and test with multimeter Close PIR Press Reset.

Hi Jupiter01, When you open the PIR its tamper switch will activate. The internal sounders of your control panel will sound. You will need to enter your code to silence the alarm. Once the PIR's cover is back in place, after testing, you can reset the alarm by pressing the reset button. If you...

Hi Please make sure that you check the tamper switches/springs inside the detectors aswell and that they are depressed when the detector's cover is closed as this could also cause a problem. Regards, Matt.

Hi John. Only more advanced alarm panels can tell you which zone has the tamper fault. Have you checked tamper connections in the movement detectors? Matt

I understand how you feel Martin. Unless you are competent in defaulting the alarm control panel yourself to reset engineer's code, you'll have to pay the alarm company's prices. You could say that alarm companies take advantage of the fact that you can't do all that much without the...

Hi Martin, Try setting the system then leave the house. Open the front door but do not enter the property. Leave the entry timer to count down until the alarm sounds. If it isn't roughly 30 seconds then it isn't the lounge detector that is getting triggered. If so then you will need the...

Thank you. Yes I am also fitting a GSM dialler. Cheers Matt w

Hi. I have installed a few intruder alarms over the years and I have just been asked to install one for someone at a new-build bungalow, which is ground-floor only. I now have a decision to make. I can either install the bell box at ceiling height, under the eaves, at the front of the property...
