This week we had an urgent callout to an alarm that would turn off. It ended up being a faulty tamper component on the siren. If this happens, there is no way of shutting it off unless we get up to it and cut the speaker cable…….
Sometimes, it is best to be proactive. Where they can last for years, the siren is exposed to the temperature changes and moisture. I have found that after 6 years, they can suffer the same fate.
Perhaps consider a replacement siren on an annual inspection? Remember, even if you don’t use your alarm, they are still powered, still active and can still give you a problem.
