    It's more likely to be a faulty detection device.
    You need to see what's displayed when you disarm it after an alarm activation.

    Most suppliers could source one for you.
    Have you a meter to check the battery voltage & the battery charge voltage.
    If the transformer is struggling it may be the battery is not getting the correct charge.

    Hi All,

    I have a Aritech CS-2012. I just got the phone line in and need to get the dialler setup. I have no idea... The phone line is connected with two wires. I dont know which connector I should put these into on the board. I have attached pictures of the connector for the phone line.

    Also if you can give me step by step instructions how to setup the dialer on the keypad to call my mobile that would be a great help.

    Thanks in advance

    Joe

    Hi Joe.
    If you are settling that up to call your mobile you will need the plug on voice module.

    Hi Guys (newbie poster here) found you when I googled "house alarm battery". My system is an Aritech cs350 is 18 years old and never had a battery change!

    In the past few months, after it was unset each morning, it started to randomly go off after a couple of hours or so and would need to be unset again, which was ok when someone was there to unset again, but frustrating to arrive home and find it blaring.

    Now after reading nearly all the posts on this thread last Monday and using the great advice given by KoolKid and Altor, I bought a new 12v 7.5ah battery in Radionics for €23.50 (Maplins quoted €63.99)! and installed very carefully using your instructions, but its still going off as before showing "cabinet tamper" why is this?

    Thanks in advance.

    p.s. Could I please have a copy of Engineers Manuel, thanks.

    Check that the panel lid is closed securely. Also check that the Aux tamper connections were not disturbed when you changed the battery.

    Hi KooKid,

    Just took panel lid off, no alarm bell went at all this time, unlike when I replaced battery, switched off main power and checked wires, all seem ok, cant see anything odd, replaced lid and heard spring click.

    I reset alarm and tested it by opening front and back doors, alarm went off as it should.

    But after 15 minutes alarm went off again at random showing "cabinet tamper".

    Thanks for your response

    KoolKid,

    Meant to ask, do you have any other reason or ideas as to why its still going off at random.

    Thanks,

    Its either the aux tamper input or the spring for the panel lid tamper.
    Close off the AUX tamper input to eliminate that.

    It sounds like the lid tamper is not closing properly when you close the lid.
    Is there any cables pushing against the spring when you close up the lid?

    Hi KoolKid & Altor,

    I haven't yet had a chance to try out what you are suggesting.

    It went off again at random this morning, unset at 6am, went off at 11am
    (5 hrs). I will try both your suggestions later this evening and keep you posted.

    Thanks again for now.

    Hi Guys
    my Cs350 in the fast few weeks has randomly started to go off with Cabinet Tamper .
    It is now a Daily occurrence is the Cabinet tamper the cabinet where the battery is kept or could it be the sensors?

    thanks

    It could be either if the sensor tampers are wired into the aux tamper connections. Terminals 18 + 19.

    If you press down arrow twice does it show anything open?

    Hi altor thanks for replying no the zones are all closed
    It happened a few weeks ago when the 2 year old was swinging out of the spring like wire on the back door but i opened it up and put the loose wire back in and all was ok.
    Untill about 2 weeks ago when it becomes a daily or twice daily thing .
    I opened all the sensors in the house ( i have eng code ) to see if there were loose wires but there wasn't.
    Then at the dining window (2 sensors) 1 was filled with expand foam, i took it out of 1 sensor and took the alarm out of eng mode and the bell rang .
    Then i did the 2nd sensor and tried again bell did not ring this time , so Hopefully i will see if this stops it randomly setting off as tamper . (wife always had suspicion of that sensor ).
    if it still happens ill stick it up here.
    do you think it is within the main box where Battery is?
    thanks

    If you did not open the control panel then I would not suspect it is there the issue is. If you wanted to you could close of the tamper cable in the sensor that you think has the issue. This will rule out if it is the sensor or not causing the alarm activation.

    I know there is a little diagram on the inside should this tell me which is tamper wire?
    will it have abbreviated code i wil need to look out for ?
    thanks

    All you need do is disconnect the two tamper wires and join them together.
    This will rule out an issue with the tamper on that device.

    It sounds like the zone tampers may be all wired into the aux tamper input on the panel.
    If you have a multi meter you could check the resistance on those tamper loops and see if its erratic. You could also identify the tamer loop from that zone & remove if from the aux tamper loop to confirm or eliminate that zone as the problem.

    ok thanks guys i will have a look tomorrow and see what the sensors are like if it goes off .
    by the way it is going off with the alarm is not set if that makes a difference and nobody is near any sensors

    And when it goes off it shows "Cabinet Tamper"?
    It has to be whats wired into Aux Tamper or the lid tamper spring.
    Close off terminals 19 & 19 to confirm .
    If its ok after that then add back in the zone tampers one by one untill the problem reappears.
    The quicker solution is to get a multi meter & check the resistance on everything connected to that input.

    Where is the control panel located? Have seen this a few times where the control panel was in the hotpress and got a bang causing the spring to move. By what you are saying it is more than likely the tamper on the device so if thats the case then try close off the temper on the device to see if that solves the issue.
