sigma alarm HELP!

[olpoll]

hello there,
ive only had my motorhome a few weeks so im just getting used to it
today for some reason the alarm went off!
nothing set it off as i was looking out the window at the van at the time,
the warning bleeps just started for no reason then the full alarm went off?
now when i try to arm it the same happens i get the bleeps for about 10 seconds then the alarm goes off,
ive tried the trouble shooting section in the manual but nothing helped
the alarm is a SIGMA: M30

thanks for any help Andrew

sigma

Hi Andrew......Have you tried re-entering the 4 diget code into the key pad
Is the key fob the 1 or2 button type ? is there something moving inside ie fan heater setting off sencers........if all else fails ring Tony Hayes at Scorpion alarms (sigma) I'm sure he will be able to help
Merry Cristmas..... Ray

If the alarm's beeping after it's been armed it's possible one of your doors/hatches/bonnet is open or the one of the switches is defective/or disconnected.

Check your users manual, I think there's a way of deleting these switches as you arm the system. This might help you eliminate this as a cause.

Have you changed/checked the batteries in the key fob. If it has a built in immobiliser then disconnecting it from the battery will render the car inoperative. If its not the batteries then its best to get it looked at by an Auto Electrician.
