Why are my EMX Security Sensors false triggering?
- LLindsay ZimmermanJul 27, 2025
If your EMX Security Sensors are experiencing false triggering, it could be due to several factors. First, ensure the earth ground connection to the CS101 and the probe shield is secure; reconnect if necessary. Inspect the area around the probe for any moving metal objects like signs or fences. Disconnect the probe wires to see if the false triggering stops; if it does, check the probe. If issues persist, disconnect the power, temporarily connect a 9V battery, and wait 5 minutes for stabilization. Consider using a separate power supply (120VAC to 12V converter, min. 100ma). Also, inspect the probe's environment for moving metallic objects, electrical power lines, electric motors, or high-power lighting.
