    I have aChubb Home Alarm system which uses inertia sensors attached to the windows ofmy house. Each sensor is wired back to the control panel in the house. Thealarm has to be armed (turned-on) by setting it at this panel

    I will bereplacing some windows on 26 Sept. The window supplier (Senator) will have toremove the sensors from each window and attach them to the new windows, oncethey have been fitted. Will removing the sensors from the old windows cause thealarm to sound, even though the system is not turned-on at the control panel? Idon’t want the alarm ringing during the installation of the new windows!.

    From memoryI think there is some anti-tampering mechanism in the alarm system but I’m notsure if this is only active when alarm is switched on.

    I wouldhope to receive a quick reply to this query as the new windows are to be fittedon Thurs 26.

    Many thanks

    Pete - you might be better off asking the moderators to move your post to this forum which deals with Home Security Systems;

    If the alarm goes off there's no big problem once you just enter in the code to turn if off

    Hi Rainy Day
    Thanks for the reply and suggestion to move to the other forum. I knew I had posted to the wrong area when I had sent post.
    I must confirm the process to move it to correct forum.
    Thanks again

    Pete

    Click on the red 'warning sign' triangle and report it to the mods with a request to move.

    Hello Dare

    Many thanks for the reply regarding the alarm system. I had a dread that the alarm would sound (despite not being turned on) as I believe there is an anti-tampering device in the system. Maybe this only becomes active when the alarm is turned on.
    I appreciate the reply and will keep a close watch during the installation of the windows. Here's hoping the weather will be good tomorrow ....six windows to be installed!

    Thanks again

    Pete
