jf16 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Hi. I'm trying to diagnose what is causing an ongoing tamper fault with a Menvier 30 system. Once every few days, one of the zones very briefly goes into a tamper state, then returns to normal. The zone comprises of three door contacts wired in series. The confusing thing is that there is no separate tamper circuit involved. Both 2K2 and 4K7 resistors are located inside the panel, and there is only one pair of wires in use. Am I looking at a panel fault here, or could there possibly be other issues such as induced voltage on the conductors that I need to look at? Thanks.

james.wilson Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 eol resistors are in the wrong place and is non complaint. If its wired with a tamper loop and be looking at that first 1 securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Google the name of your alarm installer- was the 1st result the above ? 1 Mr Veritas God Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/44519-menvier-30-tamper-issue/#findComment-510189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf16 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 There is no tamper loop included. I've drawn a schematic of how it's set up below. As far as I understand, a tamper would only show if it went open circuit, which is impossible, as even if you sliced straight through the cable, you'd then get a resistance of 6k9, which the panel just sees as a door being open.

sixwheeledbeast Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If that's how it's been wired then he definitely left on a horse... Try swapping with another zone if you are ruling out the tamper.
