Veritas Tamper fault

[Guest stevep]

Hi

I have a Veritas control panel, I think R8, (fitted around 1999) which has suddenly developed a tamper fault. I have not been decorating or changing anything and the system seemed to develop this when we popped out yesterday afternoon.

Have tried all the usual, reset and have also turned mains power off.

I have found that I can still set the alarm only if I omit Zone 9 - which is odd as I don't think there is a zone 9!

Can anyone help on this.

I wasn't sure whether it was the automatic service reminder?

Ummm if there's no zone 9 it sounds like a faulty panel to me....

Am I right that these systems have an automatic service reminder. Would this set the tamper light when due?

Sounds like the typical spring problem to me.

It has to be set by the installer, and to be honest, not many do set them up.

Zone 9 is effectively the global tamper. Could be a cable fault, bell fault, panel fault or a tampered item on the system. Make sure all the covers on the PIRs, speakers, keypads, panel are on tightly before you try to make any other diagnosis.

Tried this - still showing red tamper light.

I think I might have to call out an engineer.

AXL Security are the people who installed so might as well call them.

Thanks

Steve i take it your in north yorkshire. They used to fit the ade sonade wich caused intermittant tamper faults so most of there boxes have to be changed.
