Door/Window Sensor False Alarms
It is important to regularly test and maintain all system sensors. A low battery or abnormal damage to the sensor can cause irregular activity.
Troubleshooting False Alarms
-
Verify that the sensor and magnet are securely mounted. If either piece has fallen off, the system will not function properly.
- Verify that the spacing between the sensor and magnet is no further than 1" when the door/window is closed.
- Verify that the door or window does not move excessively while closed.
- Verify that the sensor is located inside, away from large metal appliances, and in a climate-controlled environment.
- Replace Batteries (2 x CR2032).
- If the batteries have already been replaced, replace the sensor.
