Our veritas v8 is 3 and a half years old and h recently started going off when not set. It occasionaly makes very short high pitched alarms when unset too. Any ideas?

might be an idea to get a local alarm company in to give the alarm a service battery could well need changing any problems they find whilst doing the service they will let you know about.

Are you sure it's not a battery powered smoke detector making the short high pitched alarms?

Smoke detectors tend to bleep about once a minute when the battery is running low. Some smoke detectors also bleep due to cooking fumes as a pre-alarm (ie before going into the full alarm condition).

The Veritas panel certainly shouldn't be emitting occaisional short high pitched alarms - are there any LEDs lit on the panel when the alarm sound occurs?

It does sound like a smoke detector, we seem to be getting many of these, mebe we should have a frequently asked questions section for "My alarm is making a high pitch short beep".
