Possible causes:
- The sensor battery is low and needs to be replaced.
- The cover is not properly aligned after a battery replacement or sensor adjustment, which triggered the “Tamper” alert.
To clear a Malfunction status:
- Replace the battery following these step-by-step instructions.
Troubleshooting a Tamper status:
- Most security sensors have a tamper switch to detect physical interference.
- Battery replacement may temporarily trigger a tamper alert.
To clear a Tamper status:
1. Check that the sensor cover is aligned and all edges are flush.
2. If not, remove the cover and carefully realign it before snapping it back into place.
