Motion Sensor Tampering

The Motion Sensor has a built-in tamper switch to deter unauthorized interference. When the Alarm Panel reports a tamper trouble condition, it usually means the mounting plate and the sensor are loose or not properly seated. This occurs most frequently after changing sensor batteries.

Troubleshooting Sensor Tampering 

• Make sure your sensor is secured to the mounting plate (you may remove and re-attach the sensor to the plate to ensure it is secured correctly). 

• Verify that the button on the side of the sensor is not being inadvertently pressed (this will cause a tamper condition to trigger).

If your sensor continues to report tampering, and you have ensured proper sensor alignment, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. 

If your motion detector is tampered while your system is armed in stay mode it can cause an alarm to be triggered.
