Hmm, well I don’t see any issues at all with installation, and if you did not use the optional tear-away tamper screw mount inside there shouldn’t be a reason for a tamper.
The iON Plunger G sensors are 319.5mhz frequency and were installed in the house when we moved in with an older Simon XT panel that I promptly ripped the hell out. I’ve wondered at times whether the sensor sent a tamper instead of a low battery…
There is actually precedent for this, though I wouldn’t expect this in other cases: The older Resolution Products RE111 Mighty Mouse window sensor would send tampers instead of low battery when a low battery occurred.
Sounds good, Roy. Yes, please disable tampers from sending signals to the monitoring center for now.
Note that disabling tamper reports to the CS won’t actually stop tamper alarms if they occur, changing the sensor type to non-reporting will do that though.
I’ve reached out to Qolsys to see if they have any known issues with any production runs of that model of sensor, or any known firmware issues.
We’ve received one other report of an IQ DW Mini recently that sent tampers at odd times with no discernible cause. They were also using IQ Panel 2+ firmware 2.4.2. I think it would be good to be sure to upgrade to the latest available version.
