The Sensor Tamper trouble condition indicates a sensor’s internal tamper switch is being triggered. This usually means the sensor’s case is not affixed properly.
If the system is armed, a sensor tamper will trigger an alarm state so this should be resolved as soon as possible.
How to resolve:
- First ensure that the system is in a disarmed state.
- Open the sensor, locate the tamper switch and hold it down for a few seconds, the tamper should resolve at the panel.
- Let go of the tamper switch, a tamper should report to the panel.
- Close the sensor, ensuring there are no gaps in the cover and the internal tamper switch is pressed down. No tamper alert should report at the panel.
Overall, verify that the sensor’s battery cover is tightly secured to ensure the tamper switch is closed/pressed down. Securing the tamper switch varies for each device. Refer to the device’s manual for tamper switch location.
