Lightning? That's what was going on round here at that time (and still is).


So the question is:

What type is it? I have had trouble with the anti-masking protection on Focus Dual-Tech's and changed most of them out. It actually generates a tamper alarm in that particular model, but it depends on the model, how you have them connected up and on the panel, just how that presents.

Didn't see any and I was up long enough to dig out the panel instructions to find the triggered device:(.

Can't remember unfortunately.

Each passive connects to a separate zone, so shouldn't be influenced by other sensors.

Thanks
