Alarm Panel - Is interference Likely?

Sep 20, 2006 5 Replies

Hi all



Just read a post on nuisance alarm tripping which made me a little concerned! I am having a central heating re-furb done and the base units for the RF room stats are in the airing cupboard, as is the alarm panel. The alarm is hard wired, not wireless type.



Am I likely to get false alarms caused by the heating stats? If so, how can these be prevented, short of moving the panel?



TIA

Very unlikely, the output power of licence exempt transmitters is very low.

Thanks Fred, thought I'd dropped a serious one there for a minute!

You'd need extremely high RF fields to interfere with a hard wired alarm panel. It's not impossible but unlikely.

We have a similar setup - Honeywell CM67 system. No problems (so far!). They are right next to each other.

In a word, no.

The RF levels used are miniscule, and anyway the base units are receivers, not transmitters.
