Mounting tamper
A mounting tamper is located on the back of the
Alarm.com Flex IO™ sensor. This tamper button must
be fully pressed (until you hear a clicking sound) to avoid
reporting a mounting tamper malfunction, as indicated by
an alternating single Red and Yellow LED pattern.
Important
: An active mounting tamper will drain the
battery.
If not applicable for your installation, tampers can be
disabled by updating device settings on the Partner
Portal or MobileTech. Disabled tampers will not drain the
battery.
Step 4: Insert the Batteries
Install the included batteries, close the battery
compartment door, and tighten the screw securely.
Important
: Make sure the battery door screw is securely
tightened until the door tamper is no longer detected and
then add an additional ¼ turn to the screw. This will also
ensure a waterproof seal.
If this screw is not fully tightened, the LED will show a
single red blink every 2 seconds. Be careful to not over-
torque the screw. Power tools should be avoided.
Battery compatibility
