A panel tamper occurs when the panel is not sitting flat on it's mounting bracket. This can cause your panel to alert you by beeping 3 times every minute and have a flashing 1 on the screen.
If your Fluent GC3 is tampering, check the following:
- Does your panel appear to not be sitting flat on the wall?
- If you press gently on the top of the panel does the flashing light go away?
- If your panel isn't sitting flat or it goes away after gently pressing it here is a quick guide to help get this fixed:
Opening the panel
- Unplug wall plug (normally located directly below the panel)
- With the screw driver loosen the set screw that is located underneath the panel in the middle
- Remove panel from wall by pulling bottom corners towards you
- Check and see if anything is obstructing the panel from closing tightly
- If you find anything please remove and place panel back on mounting bracket and make sure panel is closed tightly.
**At times the battery will swell causing the panel to tamper. If this happens follow the steps below starting with step 4.**
