What does it mean when your alarm panel says tamper?
The alarm systems have been tampered with to prevent its initiation or operation. Using systems or sensors, the user will have an internal mechanism in the device that might disable its operation. As with most burglars’ zones, an alarm is activated based upon its opening when it is armed.
