You can also press the Home Key once or twice, until you're provided with a number pad, then enter your valid 4 digit code. With Lynx or Lyric alarm panel, go to Security > Disarm > Enter Code. With Vista panels, this means entering your 4 digit code + Off. Once the reason for the tamper is found and corrected, whether it was a panel tamper, or a sensor tamper, disarm the system again to clear the tamper display. AiO panels may have multiple tampers, one for the front or back cover, and one for the bay where the communicator is installed.

Usually, a tamper is due to the cover not being placed back on the device correctly, or in some cases, if the sensor has a back tamper, it may not be mounted correctly, or may be missing its back mounting plate. Wired panels installed in commercial locations often have a cover tamper added to the metal panel enclosure lid and tied to a wired zone. Tamper switches are usually only present on All-in-One (AiO) alarm panels, wireless devices, life safety devices such as smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors, and expansion modules. A base or back tamper ensures that if a device is removed from its mounting location, the end-user is made aware of it.

A cover tamper ensures that if the cover is removed from a device, the end-user is alerted to that fact. There are two different types of tampers cover tamper, and base or back tamper. Once the cover is on, disarm again to clear the message from the display. This could be a loose cover on the system itself, a wireless device or a module. Next, find the cause of the tamper and correct it. When a tamper occurs, the first step is to perform a disarm to quiet the trouble sound.
