[Hai-users] Motion sensor going bad??

[Brad]

I would check the wire connections on this zone. 7 years is long enough they
could become a little flaky due to corrosion. If not, motion sensors are
cheap.

Subject: [Hai-users] Motion sensor going bad??

I have an OmniPro installed which is about 7 years old.  Yesterday, the
monitoring company called me and told me that they received a burglary alarm
from my home and that a motion sensor was the reporting zone.  This motion
is configured as a type 3, 'Away Interior'.

The placement of this motion, at the top of my basement stairs, should not
have been the sole reason for the alarm since you need to 'pass through' the
perimeter first to get there.  Looking at the logs bears this out.  BTW...I
have no pets and hopefully, no rodents  :))

I check the values of the zones using 'status/test' (press '6', then '4' on
the console) and noticed that the 'standard' value fluctuates between
145-148 but I caught the zone this motion is on drop to the 118-125 range.
Could a drop like this cause the motion to go 'not ready'?  Does this mean
the motion is going bad and needs to be replaced?

thanks for any hints....and I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July.
