    Hi guys. I moved into a house last December and the house alarm goes off at least once a week even though it's not set, could be day or night. Any ideas.

    Most common cause is a faulty shock sensor. It needs to be tested and any sensors that are faulty replaced.

    Any idea how I can test the sensors.

    Do you have the use of a multi meter?

    Goes off whether it's set or not - might that not imply a tamper issue? And maybe related to a sensor that's subject to regular activity like tge front door etc?

    Possibly.
    I would be checking the resistance on the tamper & the alarm loop.

    You could just disconnect & close off the tamper at the panel & see if that solves it.
    I would like to be testing the zone as well just in case.

    Have you disconnected and closed off the tamper loop?

    I'll be honest and say "haven't a clue what your talking about"..... I'll just have to get a professional out to look at it.
