HKC alarm sensor indicating open

Hi Guys, an inertia shock sensor on a door is indicating open at the alarm panel even when the door is closed. It presented itself during the night and activated the alarm. The alarm wouldn’t set as it thought the door is open. I have omitted the zone from the keypad and the alarm works obviously minus this zone. Any quick…

Hi Guys,
an inertia shock sensor on a door is indicating open at the alarm panel even when the door is closed.
It presented itself during the night and activated the alarm. The alarm wouldn’t set as it thought the door is open. I have omitted the zone from the keypad and the alarm works obviously minus this zone.
Any quick fixes or ideas? Is it likely the is sensor faulty? Is it easy to change one sensor?

Thanks all.

If its the sensor then replacing like with like is a easy fix.
Just make sure you take a few photos of the wiring before disconnecting the original sensor.
