I have 15 hardwired zones running into a Qolsys Hardwire 16 panel that has been running good for about 4 years. Each zone has 1-4 sensors wired in series with a 3k resistor going into the panel.
Recently, I started getting lots of random open and tamper alerts from about 6 zones, all day, including for windows that are never opened. I checked that connections at the panel were secure, tried removing the backup battery, using a surge protector, swapping AC adapters, and even swapping out the panel itself, and the random alerts continue. A multimeter shows the resistance is right around 3k for the zones as expected.
In the attic where the wires are run, I did have a contractor working up there recently, but he didn't go near the wires for some of the zones that are acting up and none of the wires look like they were disturbed. That said, the only thing I can think of is that something may be interfering with the wires somehow.
Any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this?
