    I have a HKC secure watch alarm. It's over 19 years old.

    The alarm is going off randomly with a "tamper" error within a specific zone. That zone has about 10 sensors. Is there an easy way to identify which sensor is causing the problem so that I can replace that sensor? Thanks!

    Can you put up a photo of the sensor,if they are wired in series you will need a multi meter,

    Hi yea they are standard sensors, and they are wired in series,you could take out the two wires at the panel, on that zone, and just a little piece of wire, back into the two blocks marked tamper, That's the easy way, or you have to check every sensor on that zone, hope that help's

    Thanks Darragh. I jumped the tamper and that has solved the problem.
