    Hi guys. I moved into a house last December and the house alarm goes off at least once a week even though it's not set, could be day or night. Any ideas.

    Most common cause is a faulty shock sensor. It needs to be tested and any sensors that are faulty replaced.

    Any idea how I can test the sensors.

    Do you have the use of a multi meter?

    Goes off whether it's set or not - might that not imply a tamper issue? And maybe related to a sensor that's subject to regular activity like tge front door etc?

    Possibly.
    I would be checking the resistance on the tamper & the alarm loop.

    It says front and side window zone tamper.

    You could just disconnect & close off the tamper at the panel & see if that solves it.
    I would like to be testing the zone as well just in case.

    It also says loop value 9999

    Have you disconnected and closed off the tamper loop?

    I'll be honest and say "haven't a clue what your talking about"..... I'll just have to get a professional out to look at it.
