All the time untill you will not dry the cable.It keeps sounding when the cable is wet.

Until the batteries die. Since I bought this, I have had two minor leaks under the sink that set off the alarm. Without this unit, it would have gone undetected and caused damage. It is well worth the money.

I test it occasionally by dipping the sensor/lead in water. The alarm sounds. I remove the sensor/lead from the water after a short time, and the alarm silences within a few additional seconds. It seems as if the sensor/lead is rather hydrophobic, so it rapidly ceases signaling when the water is no longer in contact with the sensor. I like that feature.

I have the sensor wire wrapped around my hot water heater. My daughter dropped juice on the floor and the sensor wire. The alarm sounded and the only way to stop it was to disconnect the modular plug at the unit. After I dried everything, then reconnected the wire and everything was good to go.

My alarm gets progressively louder the longer it on. After about 1 minute it's very loud. So I haven't set the loudness.

The batteries will last approximately two years when in standby mode. If the alarm is sounding continuously, the batteries will last approximately five hours. With normal use the alarm will not constantly be in standby mode or sounding continuously. Therefore, the user can expect the batteries to last anywhere from 3-12 months depending on how often the alarm is activated.

I let the alarm go for 20 seconds when I turned it off manually. One nice thing about this timer is that it goes to zero and then starts timing UPto tell you how long overtime you are.

Five minutes. When the alarm button is turned off, then back on, the alarm goes off, even a half hour after the alarm first went off. To get the alarm to stop with the alarm button in the on position, I had to change the alarm time. Incidentally, I noticed that the clear plastic face cover is difficult to clean. I wiped it several times with a wet cloth, then again with dishwashing liquid on the cloth, and the plastic still was not perfectly clean.

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

Not that I am aware of. Alarm will go off approximately 30 seconds after door is opened. This is designed to give you time to turn it off after you open the door.

If you don't shut it off when the alarm sounds, it will beep for 1 minute then shut off.

No, it only has 2 every day alarms. Also its true it gains around 10 minutes. But the sound is really good. Take a look at the jensen JBD-100 or the Philips AS111/37.

30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg. Specially you can hear the beep-beep sound from the MAIN control panel. that is not a good Idea, giving the burlar emough time to break the system before it siren. My solution is to buy another siren and disconnect the speaker from the main control panel. still 30 seconds, but burglar will not hear anything. the bad part is you don't hear anything either when you setting your alarm system. But I just both an on and off switch for the speaker. so I can hear when I do something with the system. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do easier than what I have.

Don' know why you would need to know but yes it keeps activating the lock, I just tried to see what happens. My grandkids were messing with mine this weekend and set off a buzzer that lasted about 30 seconds guess it's some sort of alarm I didn't remember reading about. I'm still satisfied with mine after 5 months use.

Mine last at least 6 months, but a couple have lasted close to a year. It depends on the battery, weather, and how much traffic you have to trigger the alarm. The lithium 9 volt batteries do not work correctly because the voltage is too high and it causes lots of false alarms. Hope this helps.

I have had mine for years and years but I can't really answer! I use the alarm sound which will go off ten separate times probably 30 sec. Or so apart. I have had on since around 1978-ish and am only on my second one. I t is set for 4 separate alarms. I love the convenience of being able to grab my alarm and a couple containers when we go to my son's for an overnight. Good size too for the purse don't you agree? If you haven't purchased it yet I suggest you do. Enjoy.

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

Sorry, no warnings. The alarm does go off for a full minute. I use mine basically as a thermometer. I have other timers.

Yes . You have to turn the alarm off or it resets after 2 hrs of it being 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
