How to disable CS350 tamper alarm while I repair a wire

Bikey · 11-10-2014 10:54AM #1

While drilling a tiled wall in my kitchen I hit a wire to an alarm sensor. I want to carefully remove some tiles, access the wire and solder it back together. The problem is that the area is now vibration sensitive: every time I touch it the alarm goes off with a "TAMPER" message, even though the alarm isn't set (in fact I can't set it.)

How can I disable the whole thing so it's no longer sensitive? Thanks.

It's an Aritech CS350n.

When you are going to switch off the system the keypad is probably telling you what zone has activated.
So turn off the mains to your control panel, then open the panel and remove both cables from the particular zone. This will as such have the fault in a constant state so it wouldn't be reseting as it is currently. Then you can repair it without the duress.

Thanks kub! It took me a while to get to it, but it worked out perfectly.
