DAYZONE TAMPER ???

rwaldron21

Hi all,

I have a NAPCO alarm with GEM-K1CA Keypad..

Alarm is suddenly beeping with the error 08 DAYZONE TAMPER.

Zone 8 is not a physical zone in the house.

Anyone now how to fix this...Currently have the Zone 8 Bypassed.
Nothing in the manual refers to this error code..
Manual says

Day Zone: A zone that will
cause a visual and audible
indication at the keypad if it
is in trouble while disarmed.

Thx for any help

Only way to know If zone 8 is used would be to open the control panel and check. Could be a device tampered using zone 8. Make sure to turn off the mains before opening the control panel. Using your user code will silence any alarm event.

If I open the control panel what am I looking for ..

what do you mean by "device tampered using zone 8 "

You would be looking for the zones.
If you open the control panel and post a picture we can help you more.
The zone could be used to tamper a device just means say your front door contact, if you take the lid off the sensor it will cause a tamper.

Ah Ok, I see.....

Might not be for a few days but I will take pics and have a look....

Alarm will sound when I remove the cover but user code should silence this ?

The system uses a mixture of wired and wireless sensors...All the sensors have tampers when you remove the cover from the sensor.
But if I do this I get a E error telling me exactly which zone/sensor is causing the tamper...

I assume I need to look for zone 8 wiring within the control panel..

Yes to both.
Your user code will silence the alarm.
It may be an internal bell or a device that is causing the issue but only looking at the PCB will give you more information.

Hiya,
It took a few days but I have good pics of the inside of the unit.

Just a note that when I opened the unit , no Alaram sounded.
Yet the unit tamper is connected ?

I don't have enough post on this forum to post the pics..

Any ideas how to get the pics to you ?

Hi Ray,

You should of got some indication but since the system has a tamper condition already this might explain it.

I don't think there is a way around posting pictures if you don't have enough posts.

Maybe a mod could help there if you ask.
