Astec Alarm

C.O.Y.B.I.B

Hi all ,

I have an Astec alarm system and it is part set at night time. At 11.30 last night it went off saying it was a contact in the sitting room. So checked it out , nothing obvious , reset and went back to bed . An hour later same thing , So I left it off this time . Any ideas what the issue is ? Is it a dodgy sensor on the sitting room window ?

Cheers for any help.

Cheers for the reply ,

Its the "all in one " one where it has shock and contact in the one sensor. The panel said the error was Zone 2 Contact . System is in about 4 years . I'll get a new one this evening and replace it , and maybe do the rest over the next week or so. Cant be doin with hoppin out of bed with the baseball bat every hour
Thanks again for the reply

ha ha, cant be having you doing that.. i would check the magnet on that window then. some times they loose there strength over time, that might just be the case.. might save you a few quid replacing all the sensors
