ThornGamma6 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Hi, Today I was trying to fix a friends burglar alarm which has being going off in the day and at early hours of the morning sometimes. He asked me if I could take a look at it and so I did the tamper circuit and all the wiring in the devices such as PIR's, Door/window contacts, PA button and the bell box all looked ok and I couldn't see anything wrong with the wiring or the tampers on all the devices on the system. I did put a new back up battery in the panel just in case that was causing the problem and then I screwed the cover back on to the Optima plus and made sure it wasn't over tightened but still nice and secure. Then I just checked the 2 PIRs and the 2 door/window contacts and one of the PIRs is an old Aritech Ultrasonic and the second PIR is an old Microwave detector could the 2 PIRs be the problem?
