Is there a way to "turn off" a window sensor if you wanted to leave a window open at night for a cool breeze?

Yes. The window must be opened before the system is armed and it will ignore that sensor.

I don't know what the others are talking about but if you read the manual it will explain to you how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector. If you have difficulty how to bypass a sensor or a motion detector, you can also call Mile. He will explain to you to do it. Good luck.

Hmmm....I'm not sure of a way to 'turn-off' the sensor other than pull the battery. What the engineer in me would recommend is to obtain a second magnet: Place the main sensor on the house wall and use one magnet on the window itself for 'window closed' then place the second magnet on the same window in the position you want to use for 'window open'. Here's a nice second magnet: Magnetic Sensor Home Door Window Entry Warning Switch By using a second magnet, you will not have to remember to reprogram the main control panel (if that's even an option).

There is a way to place that sensor in a specific zone. If you refer to the owners manual at fortresssecuritystore.com it has info on page 50 showing this. I also just put in a Fortress Einstein system in which is fully programmable and comes with a full DVD with complete installation and programming guide. If it's not out of your budget- go for the Eistein. It also has a GSM capability. You can Use this with a SIM card to call you if your home doesn't have a landline. Alarmsim.com has sims with a good rate for security systems. I shod get a bonus from these companies!! Hope that helps. There is a way to place that sensor in a specific zone.

just open the window prior to setting the alarm. once contact is broken they will not set it off.

there is a switch for the sensor. you can turn the light (sensor) off completely, however, you cannot turn the light on as a constant. but honestly, i think you'd love the sensor... i love looking into the mirror every time i walk by... and i'm not a vane person - i just love the mirror.

I put the sensor inside a utility closet at the side of my house. It works great. I would think it would work just fine between a window and screen. Also, there is a round attachment on the back of the sensor that you could put a string around and hang it from that.

the sensor and the monitor can be turned off. so you have two places to turn it off with a simple switch.

Just close the sensor with a little piece of tape or just put a drop of black silicon on it. Works !

It is possible. Try moving the magnet around all sides of the door sensor and see if you can get it to show as closed. You may also want to delete and then add the sensor back to the panel.

If it's too cold the temperature sensor will keep the condensing unit off for protection

No. You can turn the light off with the switch on the bottom but the sensor will not react and will not light up.

In some places I just use one sensor/magnet combo in vent position...allowing window to remain open a few inches. If window is fully closed, alarm will sound if window is pushed up such that the sensor and magnet pass each other. Alternately, you can use two magnets for instant alarming in either position.

Yes, you can turn it off. Product literature also says it has a "learning mode" if you turn the light on within a few seconds of entering the sensing zone, it will learn that you want it on in partial or even full light.

I don't know where the sensor is, but I just experimented and can control the fan from above or below the unit. I am pleased with its performance.

Not a sensor a button switch. If the hood is popped open when alarm is set it goes off. It's a decent system. Good range and over senastive sometimes but I like that. It's a good buy.

The window can be closed without removing the fan. This is a great fan and has worked really well this year. Also has a reverse function to take hot air out.

The unit consist of two items. The sensor is attached to the garage door. It has a button battery. The receiver is located in your home. It is plugged into a normal electrical outlet. Yes, there is a way to "turn off" the sound (for example if you are working in the garage with door open). I have not had any major issues with this device. The original button battery died within a few weeks. However, I went to Battery Plus for a replacement. No problems after that. Here in Minnesota, the outdoor unit is subject to cold. Still no problem.

Yes there is a sensor but it may not turn off on dark/cloudy days. Not an issue with this LED light. Electricity use is minimal.

have your system wired so the motion sensors are all on one zone. that way you ca program your system to "stay". it turns off the inside stuff and keeps door and glass-break sensors active

Any movement will set it off, including changing light conditions. If your sensor is exposed to the direct rays of the sun, it will likely go off because of the stray infrared rays. You might want to move your sensor to where it is not exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and read this: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5748164_infrared-alarm-sensor-work_.html
