  • Power failure or surges;
  • Telecommunications failure;
  • Poor or incorrect installation;
  • Storms;
  • Inadequate maintenance program;
  • Incorrect equipment for the application;
  • Old equipment;
  • Objects hanging in front of a sensor;
  • Drafts or breezes from open windows or air conditioners;
  • User error.
