Okay, can you just tell them this and take it down? get a new head, and then they can call the alarm company, or they can zone out the area when they go to replace it. It looks like if they're going to continue to use that head, it's an issue with that head. Okay, I got one generator. It's definitely not any water flowing in there. And I think this might be a let them handle.
