Accenta 8 Mini Problem

[Simon Carter]

hi All,

New to the forum, hope the following makes sense.

WE have an Accenta 8 mini security system, and I have a problem with it. Ever since we had some new lounge carpet about 8 weeks ago, sometimes when I tread on the retaining strip by the door (under which I think the Accenta wiring to the lounge windows is situated) I get a single 'beep' and the control panel shows a single asterisk, as though I'd started entering the code to arm the system.

It's easy enough to sort out - press reset on the panel - but it shouldn't be doing this, and I wonder if anyone else has had this, and if they have, how did they sort it out?

Many thanks in advance for any help provided.

Simon

The cable is under the carpet & is damaged would be my guess

As above, but I'll add obviously a cable is damaged and requires remedial action.
