Alarm Issues!

[benwelling102]

hi guys, just installed a Microscan AN200 series alarm with central locking, it was great untill the alarm just randomly goes off for no reason.
i turned the shock sensor all the way down and it still goes off, its starting to get more than annoying now.

Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks

Does it not tell you what tripped the alarm when you disarm it?

Check all the pins for the doors etc and fully shut when armed and that the bonnet pin is fully engauged when the bonnet is closed, not just making contact.

Also, check your battery, i think this is where your problem will lie.

The AN200 Series has Voltage sensing. - the alarm will react to a change in car voltage when armed, like when the engine is started for example. Do you have any flashing led's lights etc which may decreased peak voltage?

no it only beeps to tell you that it has been set off.

the only thing that i can think of that could be setting the current sense off is the analogue clock, the reason i dismissed it as the source of the problem was because it doesnt go off as soon as the current sensing circuit is active.

one thing i thought was about the clock was that maybe there is a capacitor in the circuit that is discharging (which could take a while as a clock doesnt draw much of a current) and setting it off?

Thanks
