Hey, DIYers.
This is George at AlarmGrid.
Today, we're going to be going over how
to clear a tamper on a wired and wireless system.
Now, for today's demonstration, I'm
going to have a 6160RF keypad that's wired to vista panel.
And I'm going to have Honeywell's latest Lyric
controller, which is an all-in-one wireless,
self-contained system.
So, the 6160 is to a wired panel.
The Lyric is a complete wireless system.
Now, I'm going to be going over how to clear a tamper.
First thing I want to touch base on is a tamper and a fault.
A fault just means that that door, or that sensor,
or that zone has been tripped.
So if it's a front door, back door, window, that just
means that that window or door is open.
If it's a glass break, that means
that the glass break sensor has detected a glass breaking.
So that's just a fault. Fault is what's actually making
that zone go off and trip.
A tamper is completely different than a fault.
A tamper has to do with the sensor itself.
Typically, a tamper has to be with the actual cover
of the sensor.
So if you have, let's say, for today's demonstration,
I'm going to be using a 5800 Mini.
This is a wireless sensor.
Yes, now, as you can see right now, it should be--
both systems should be Ready to Arm.
I have the sensor [INAUDIBLE] into both panels.
Now, when I move the magnet away from the sensor,
it should say fault.
On the wired panel, I have this programmed into zone nine.
On the Lyric controller, I have it programmed into zone three.
So, if we look at the Lyric, it will say not Ready to Arm.
If we go to zones, it will show us
what zone has faulted, which is zone three, the front door.
So I just go to the home.
And if you look at the wired keypad,
the armed light, or the Ready light, is not on.
Which means that it's not ready to arm,
usually meaning that there is a fault.
So if you hit star--
it actually says hit star for faults--
once you hit star, it will start.
If there's more than one fault, it
will go through every fault there is.
For this one, it's zone nine.
Remember, I said I had it programmed to zone nine
on this one.
When I reconnect the magnet to the sensor,
it should go into Ready to Arm.
There's no more faults.
The Lyric also goes into Ready to Arm.
Now, like I said, that's just going to be a fault.
I was looking for a screwdriver because I'm
going to set off a tamper environment now, right?
So when I grab this mini, a way to fault it, like I said,
is if you take the cover tamper off.
So you guys can see, I stick the flathead right
in the little crease here.
I'm going to twist it.
It should just come right off.
[BEEPING]
Both systems will immediately start going into a tamper
because it's detected that someone
has tampered with the sensor.
The first thing I want to do to clear it off the Vista Panel,
enter in my master code--
or, sorry, you have to fix the tamper first.
So you have to make sure the cover is correctly snapped on.
Then I'm going to clear it.
One, two, three, four, one.
One more.
One, two, three, four, one.
That's cleared on the Vista Panel wired.
Lyric Panel, now.
If you go ahead and go to Security, see,
it says tamper front door three.
Now, even though we've fixed the issue we,
haven't cleared it from the panel yet.
So we need to do that.
So, we fixed the issue.
So we put the cover back on the sensor.
Now we need to disarm the system two times in order for it
to go back into Ready to Arm.
We're going to go to Zones.
There will be a Clear Troubles.
Once you hit that, it will ask for your master code.
You enter in one, two, three, four.
You need to do that twice, remember.
One, two, three, four.
And now the tamper has cleared from the Lyric screen.
If you hit the Home button, it should bring you
back into Ready to Arm.
Now again, just for some clarification,
we set off the tamper.
It made both systems immediately go off.
In order to clear the tamper, you
have to fix the issue first, which, in this case,
would be make sure that the cover is correctly snapped
onto the base of the sensor.
After you fix the issue, you then have to disarm two times.
The reason it does not automatically
clear from the panel is that, let's say
you're away from home, someone takes the cover tamper off,
and then puts it back on.
If that message were to disappear immediately,
that means you would never know, because you were never home.
So the message will stay on the screen
until an authorized user code has
disarmed the system two times.
This, basically, ensuring that you see that someone
had tampered with the sensor.
