How long will the sirens blow after detecting a break-in? Can you program the time? Will they blow again if another sensor detects activity?

Siren blow 180 seconds, you are able to program it short, yes, it will blow again if another sensor detects activity.

You can set them to blow in different increments, if I remember correctly, 1 min to non stop till the user disarms, but if its going off only the display would let you know a different sensor was triggered......

In this sensor's normal operation, it stays triggered to ON for four minutes before resetting to OFF. If motion is repeatedly detected within 4 minutes, it stays ON. There are three sensitivity settings, at the most sensitive, it will pick up some rather slight movements. If you can set your program to monitor the status of the sensor to turn the light off after the sensor returns to off, that should work. If 4 minutes isn't enough delay, there is also a "Test" mode in this sensor that eliminates the 4 minute reset time and it will continue sending out ON signals every time motion is sensed. You could program in your own time delay in this mode. No clue on how it would affect the battery life.

First let's assume that you have installed the system her the manufacturers instructions. You are actually asking two questions one would be about the censer being smashed and another about the unit (or master control being smashed). If a sensor is adequately operated then smashing it would make no difference because by then it has already tripped the alarm. However if the criminal were then able to reach the alarm box itself then yes I would assume that destroying it would turn off the alarm. However hopefully by this time you are alert to the fact that a criminal is in the house and can take evasive maneuvers or call 911 as it is just an alarm it does not protect you. Of course this alarmed also has the capability if connected properly to make a phone call out and of course that phone call should have already going out. I decided to place the master control box in a back bedroom and although it takes a little longer to reach the control box that would also mean that a criminal would have to search through the house looking for the control box but I have enough time to disbarment especially with the key fob in my hand, I disarm it before I walk in the house.

The sensor can't be turned off. Once set and the alarm is turned on, if the two pieces are moved away from each other the alarm will sound.If an attempt is made to open the sensor it would be moved away from its counterpart which would fire the alarm.As a side note, we use ours for a sleep walking child who has left the house and it works perfectly.

I use my IR detector for a local alarm siren. When power is first turned on, it will sound off for about 15 seconds. So to prevent false alarms I installedthe on/off switch on the output side where the siren is wired. The IR always has 12 VDC power on it. Not sure about your situation. Hope this helps.

The only way the alarm would go off , ( through motion sensor alert not shock sensor or any other add on you may have) is if something as big as ur hand or bigger would to move next to the car ( Windows) it will send a warning alert which is 5 chirps, and is the ararm is alerted again whithin a short period of reset , a full alarm will be triggered

I got a hold of Skylink, they said if the alarm is activated by an intruder the alarm will automatically shut off after 3 minutes. However the alarm will remain activated unless disarmed and will again go off for another three minutes if a door is opened or until you manually disarm the alarm on the keypad

You are correct that wired in parallel as many sensors as desired can be used. The alarm unit will go into alarm if any one of the sensors is triggered.

no the alarm sensor will allow us 8 seconds after we push the bypass, after that it will sense the door is open and go off. When we have parties I usually remove the battery, due to the reason we are outside all day, and it allows my guest to come in and out of the house.. :) Hope this helps

No. Alarm will sound until code is entered. Alarm will initiate approximately 30 seconds after door is initially opened.

Correct, if the wired alarm is unplugged then it stops sounding BUT the wireless siren continues sounding. The main panel is wireless and has a 72h backup battery, if main panel gets unplugged from electricity then it works on battery, if panel is also turned off then alarm stops working, I recommend you hide main panel, mine is on a second floor ceiling so it's hard to reach. Even if the alarm gets unplugged or destroyed you will get a call or a SMS as soon as it star sounding (if configured). Hope this works :)

You can time up to 24 hours. The alarm is very loud. It can be heard from another room. Highly recommend.

Yes, I just tapped in on top of the indoor siren's connection. The alarm sounds both sirens, loud too.

Yes and sometimes I wouldn't even get a delayed alert. A friend stopped by my house (has a key) and told me afterwards. I never was notified. I returned it for this reason.

Not a professional but when my brother hooked ours up to the original unit it worked fine with the old siren and now the new one so when the siren went off during entry it blasted at both end of the house. I see no reason why it wouldn't work only on the panic side button but I would assume if its hooked up properly it should work either way. Thanks

The Panic button is good for testing the system by sounding the alarm(s) until you hit the Disarm button or put in your code on the control unit. Other than that its hard to say. The system is designed to be all with in the house to include the siren(s). I have the extra 350db sirens added to create the most noise throughout the house. Even if the neighbors don't hear your system no one wants to be inside the house with the earsplitting noise. Panic alarms are designed for external systems where the alarms are monitored at a central station. It can still be of help with your system to alert the family for something other sensors did not pick up and you do not care to run to a sensor to set off the alarms. Too if you are outside get hurt and need fast help i.e. fall off the roof the family will soon find you. You could mount some sirens outside the house and hope your neighbors are helpful rather than annoyed (do check local laws). Should you have young children who play out front, give one the remote which may well keep them from going for a ride while you take that burning pie from the oven. Being a private system there was no need for the panic button but with some thought it can be used in many ways to save life and limb.

Hello,Yes, the alarm system once triggered, will sound for the determined amount of time you personally chose (00-30 Minutes). Then it will shut off, and reset. Meaning the alarm system is armed again, awaiting the next break-in attempt.Thanks.www.FortressSecurityStore.com
