FAQ
What causes false alarms in security systems?
False alarms are commonly caused by EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) from the mains electrical supply. These electrical disturbances can trigger sensitive security equipment, leading to unwanted alarm activations.
Is the ACT 230MSF suitable for all types of security equipment?
Yes, the device is designed to work with all 230VAC security equipment including alarm panels, PIR detectors, door contacts, and CCTV systems.
How is the device installed?
The device connects in series between the mains supply and the equipment to be protected. Always ensure the mains supply is switched off before installation and follow the colour-coded wiring: Brown (Live), Blue (Neutral), and Green/Yellow (Earth).
What safety precautions should be taken during installation?
Always wear protective goggles when fitting the device due to potential electrical spikes. Verify the AC voltage with a digital multimeter and ensure it does not exceed 250VAC before installation.
What is the maximum current rating?
The ACT 230MSF has a maximum AC current rating of 3 amps, making it suitable for most standard security system applications.
