    Hi guys.

    Im having mini bips going off from the sensors at random intervals. Sometimes it will be all day or dissapear for days on end.

    Eircom guy is here, convincing me the bip cant be coming from the sensor as there is no speakers in it? he is staking 50 euro on it. Its a simon eircom alarm

    It absolutley is coming from the sensor.

    Who is right?

    The wireless sensor can't make any noise. Is there a smoke alarm near by?

    Nope, its plugged out. Has been for yonks. Yeah i thought that but i was literally standing under it the other day and it made a super fast low sounding 'bip' noise.
    I thought it was impossible.

    But subsequent ones over the next hour and day made it less so.
    Might it have something to do with a door sensor that seems loose?

    I think they have battery installed in the unit itself so thats maybe why its beeping, it needs to changed.

    Yeah there is def a battery in the unit itself but the guy has said that the fault would show up at the unit.

    He said there is no tech in the sensor to give out a bip noise.

    a few people have heard it coming from it now.

    Is there any fault showing up or a light flashing that maybe you hadn't noticed before?

    Nope. Nothing! no faults or lights or anything. And its so random. It will blip for a micro second at a time over a random space of time and then wont do it again for a few days or a week.
    I dunno!

    He moved the sensor to another part of the house so il wait and see if thats changed anything.
    I moved a poker when he was here and it made a scraping noise. 'Is that the noise?' he asked. It was then i realised that he thought i was a complete gob****e! ha ha ha

    Only other suggestion is to check the sensor for a battery. I had the same issue a while ago, not an eircom alarm. The beeping was going on for a couple of days and during the night, turned out to the smoke alarm battery needed changing.
