Chris_A Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm a little confused trying to figure out how the G3 control panel works... So, you have a spring which is designed to detect when the control panel has been opened and trigger the alarm. However, within the control panel you also have a battery which, if I've understood correctly, powers the entire system, so this can just be yanked out, rendering the tamper alarm fairly useless.

sixwheeledbeast Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 A proper system is all down to it's design. A tamper is just a first line of defeat detection. If you were to rip all the inners out of the control panel the external sounder would be triggered from it's own battery; in a correctly designed fully operational system. This is why it's important to have a system serviced regular, if a component fails and you don't pick it up it maybe relatively easy to defeat the system.

There is a battery in the bell as well. But if you are worried about burglars breaking in opening up the alarm box and ripping the battery and mains off ( if they did this the bells would still continue to ring assuming the system is serviced)then maybe you should consider a monitored alarm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture the scene.... You fit your "high end" Accenta alarm, to your house For what ever reason you've got dishonest dan the decorating man doing the dinning rm. Dan knows superfresco goes on easy its by graham & brown..... & should he open your untampered pir & twist the wires togethers he can bypass the 12hr circuit & come back & smash your back door in & the alarm won't make a sound eg - tamper circuits detect people tampering with the alarm whilst its unset 2 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Cover them in wallpaper paste no tampering necessary, hence why walk test should be done. Agreed tho, tamper switches are day mode detection, you would hope the system was already activated if set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
