Fire Alarm for no reason...

We have AD2USB ties into our Vista21 panel with the SMX-120 hardwired into our smoke detectors.

Today, at 3AM, our alarm goes off. I go down to disarm it and I find out that it’s the Fire Alarm that is going off (even though NONE of our smoke detectors are going off). The alarm company calls me, I tell them it’s a false alarm and I disarm the thing. Then I see this in my logs:

It just keeps repeating this over and over until I disconnected the AD2USB.

  1. What would cause the fire alarm to go off without the smoke detectors going off?
  2. Why does the partition keep showing alarm active?
