I self installed a galaxy g3 about 1.5 yrs ago. All working fine with vibration, dual tech, and smoke sensors. Was very pleased with meself! Each device is on a separate zone.

At 3.30 this morning I got a text message saying "HIGH RES +" on one of my smoke sensors. I thought nothing of it, until 6.15 this morning the alarm went off activated by the same sensor. I reset it, and it went off again a few seconds later. This happened 5 or 6 times. In the end I had to program the zone as spare to stop it.

Could anyone please give advice on the possible problem?

Of course there was no hint of smoke in the house.

Many many thanks

Mike

high res = high resistance.

Id suggest either cable problem, bad connection or faulty smoke sensor

high res = high resistance.

Could high resistance cause the sensor to activate the alarm 5 or 6 times in succession? Or would you lean more towards faulty sensor (or cabling) in this instance? It was awful, as soon as I put in the code to deactivate the alarm, it would sound again!

yep if the resistance is chnaging.

Have a look at the circuit resistance.

first of all check you connections.

I certainly will do. I am also going to swap round another one of the smoke's to this zone to see if its the sensor.

High resistance is usually a bad or damp connection.

So far so good. Connections were not as tight as they could have been at the detector, have rectified now.

I have also seen "REM FAIL" in the log, what does this mean?

You need to turn off auto service if not already done,you can find it in eng mode then option 47-4-1-off B)
