Alarm Siren Keeps Sounding

Troubleshoot alarm sirens that keep sounding or trigger unexpectedly.

Start here: isolate whether the issue is power, cable, configuration, product selection or environmental.

Confirm whether the fault affects one device or multiple devices.
Check power, PoE, voltage, battery or PSU status.
Check cable route, terminations, patching and physical damage.
Check addressing, app/cloud registration, relay mapping or zone programming.
Compare the real wiring with the relevant diagram and update the as-built notes.
