Common faults and cause analysis of door magnetic alarms
1）door magnetic alarms fail to trigger normally (the alarm does not go off when doors or windows are opened.
Possible reasons:
•The distance between the magnet and the sensor is too far or not aligned.
•The device battery is low.
•The door magnet itself is damaged or the wiring is loose (if it is a wired door magnet).
•The door magnet itself is damaged or the wiring is loose (if it is a wired door magnet).
2）In the case of false alarms with door magnetic alarms, frequent false alarms are common, such as triggering alarms when doors or windows are not opened.
Possible reasons:
•The installation location is close to a strong magnetic field or electromagnetic interference source (such as electrical equipment).
• The device sensitivity setting is too high.
•The magnet or device host is loose.
3) door magnetic alarm WiFi faults and remote alarm connection issues: WiFi connection anomalies, causing the remote notification function to not work properly.
Possible reasons:
•Router signal instability or the device is beyond the WiFi coverage range.
•Incorrect WiFi parameter settings for the device. Outdated software firmware version.
4) Low-power door magnetic alarm batteries drain too quickly: Low-power door magnetic alarms require frequent battery replacements, which undoubtedly increases usage costs and inconveniences users.
Possible reasons:
•The device fails to enter low-power mode properly, causing the battery consumption rate to far exceed expectations.
•The battery used has quality issues, or its specifications do not match the low-power door magnetic alarm.
• Environmental temperatures that are too high or too low, affecting battery life.
Quick methods to solve common faults
1) Check and replace the battery: First, check if the door magnetic alarm battery is sufficiently charged, and if it is low, promptly replace it with a recommended high-quality battery.
Operation steps:
First, carefully open the door magnetic alarm battery compartment, gently remove the old battery, and place it in a safe place;
Second, insert the new battery into the battery compartment with the correct polarity, ensuring the polarity is accurate.
2) Adjust the installation position of the door magnetic alarm: Check if the door magnetic alarm is securely fixed, ensuring the distance between the magnet and the device host is within the specified range.
Operation steps:
First, install the device in an area with fewer interference sources, which is a key step in device interference troubleshoot, effectively avoiding the adverse effects of external interference on the door magnetic alarm.
Second, adjust the relative position of the device host and the magnet to ensure they remain aligned.
3) Troubleshooting WiFi connection issues: For possible WiFi configuration faults and remote alarm connection settings issues, check the router signal strength, reconfigure the device WiFi parameters, and upgrade the firmware version.
Operation steps:
First, ensure the device is within the WiFi coverage range to ensure it can receive a stable WiFi signal.
Second, use the corresponding APP to reconfigure the WiFi connection, carefully checking each WiFi configuration parameter during the configuration process to ensure accuracy.
Third, check if the device firmware is the latest version, and upgrade if necessary.
4) door magnetic alarm sensitivity adjustment method: Adjust the device sensitivity according to the installation environment to reduce false alarms.
Operation steps:
First, use the sensitivity adjustment options provided by the door magnetic alarm or APP.
Second, choose a suitable sensitivity based on the frequency of door and window use and the surrounding environment to reduce false alarm issues.
