Risco tamper with SPC 4320 - random alarms

    Few weeks ago our SPC 4320 started issuing alarm alerts for a zone - RISKO TAMPER. Isolated it at the time until I was home.

    Removed the cover to the risko add-on panel that picks up the wireless inertias in the house to see if there was a tamper spring. No sign of anything untoward so closed it up again. Restored the zone and alarm worked fine again until today when it triggered once again.

    I'm in hospital and won't be home til the weekend so this is a serious headache that I really don't need.
    Any suggestions what this might be?

    How many devices are on the receiver?
    Does the receiver indicate what input the tamper is from?

    3 wireless inertia sensors, 4th unused. If I remember correctly, the receiver has indicators for tamper and the 4 devices. Problem is whenever I've looked at the receiver, tamper isn't lit and the 3 devices only light when activated.

    I should mention this was never an issue before the first time a few weeks ago since installed a year ago.

    If you follow the pair from the panel for zone Risco Tamper where is it wired into the receiver?

    Afraid it'll be the weekend before I can check. Trying to just remove the zone on spcconnect but its so laggy when remotely logged in. Constantly "transferring" & "Error: Could not connect to panel".
    Anyway thanks for the responses as usual, will update at the weekend

    You could programme that zone unused from the keypad and then clear the alert.

    Yeah that's what I did in the end. If that receiver is being tampered with its the least of my worries anyway
