My alarm is now beeping or churping like every 30 secs in the hallway of my house. I don't have actual service with any company. It was fine since i lived in the house until last night.The alarm system is made by NetworX. Any ideas on what caused this? Thanks.
IF the chirping is really really high frequency and seems difficult to tell where it's coming from it may be your electrician (120 vac) smoke detectors and not the alarm system. Usually, the alarm warnings come from the keypads themselves, so you should be able to listen at the keypad.
Electric smokes (120 vac) have batteries that should be changed every year...usually 9v - use the good ones, not the cheapos.
When a customer calls me with that description I usually tell them that it is probably the electrician installed smoke detectors (after I ask them if the keypad shows low bat).
They usually say they know for sure that sound is coming from keypad or siren.
I always explain that a service call will be charged if it turns out to bes an electrical problem and not an alarm problem, even if system is under warrantee.
4 out of 5 people will ask me to come anyway and 4 out of 5 times it is the electrician installed smoke detectormaking the noise.
The beep from that electrician installed smoke detector bounces all over the place. Hard to find too.
Service requests and complaints reported by customers, especially ones associated with warning sounders, seldom have anything directly to do with what is ultimately found to be the real problem by the servicing technician.
