Once the PCS250’s tamper switch is closed, the panel will reset
the trouble message and a tamper restore message will be sent
to the monitoring station and to the SMS recipients. Also, upon
the closure of the PCS250’s tamper switch there is a 30s delay
before the PCS250 sends out a “tamper close” status to the panel.
The PCS250 GPRS/GSM Communicator Module’s tamper
functionality is supported with a compatible Paradox control
panel.
