There isn't a tamper light on the control panel is there ?
Tried the engineer code, still the same.

 

[tazz]

yes is marked 24hr

 

[silverbantam]

The control panel only has one light which us not marked

 

[silverbantam]

This is the keypad

 

[tazz]

Ok this is not a compact, tamper indicates cover loose on main panel, pir sensor, keypad cover or bell box cover.....or panel has been set to engineer only reset......need to check all of these

 

[silverbantam]

What would I do if the panel has been set to engineer only reset ?

 

[tazz]

enter engineer code possible 9999, other than, would need panel reset back to default 9999.....are you under a contract with the firm who installed the system

 

[silverbantam]

i know my engineer code but I can't get the tamper lights to go off on the panels.

 

[tazz]

On some models, the is a jumper pin, just below tamper spring, refit jumper as see if tamper light goes.

 

[silverbantam]

I don't think it has that. This is what it looks like inside the control panel:

ok we need to do some tests to find the fault......leave all cables in, and with short piece of wire, bridge out terminals D & C and also short out tamper terminals.....replace cover, and that should get rid of tamper light, then repost you result, and we will go from there

Do you mean just temporarily touch the wire to the terminals ? If go I've tried that and the lights are still on !

 

[tazz]

No, both short cables must be screwed into terminals, with existing cables, and cover replaced
