Leviton 15 Amp Arc Fault Receptacle Tripping

[jt700]

About two months ago I was asked to replace all the 15 amp receptacles in a 1970's residence. The panel was full of tandem breakers, as a result I found the first receptacle in each circuit and replaced them with Leviton 15 Amp TR Arc Fault Receptacles. Now, months later, my customer is complaining of intermittent tripping on two of the AFCI receptacles. I'm planning on going back there this week, so I'm looking for some advice on possible solutions.

Thanks

I suspect it is something they are doing. I have seen laptops cause issues with gfci and I believe the afci receptacles may have some gfci built in.

I have a gfci receptacle that trips everytime my family visits with the laptops etc and they are not even plugged into that circuit.... Yes this is true as I studied it for years...
