Reply To: ELK 6030 PIR Motion Sensor

@Brad Weeks It went into a Burglar Alarm “State” as my monitoring company alerted me both times on that same motion sensor / zone. I got home and it was for sure tripped on that Motion Sensors zone. There was no issue of any burglary (WE DO NOT have pets) and I put my key pin in on the keypad to reset the status of the alarm system and it told me that the Motion Sensor zone is still stuck open. I pulled the sensor down and pulled both batteries out and the sensor reset on its own. I am aware of the tamper switch on the back and made sure that was fine and it is. So the next day I woke up and the sensor shows that it was tripped again and keep in mind the alarm was disarmed as we are home, so we disarm it when we are home all day. So I ended up pulling the sensor down and disabling that specific zone the sensor was on and all issues went away. I ordered a new motion sensor and put that one up and re-enabled the zone for that sensor and I changed out the TXID from the old sensor to the new sensor and it has been great so far for the past 1.5 weeks. So I am thinking the sensor went bad. Thank you.
