When the battery dies in the sensor, does it trigger the alarm? or just stop working. I'm very afraid of false alarms. Thanks

I had to return the alarm system. Everytime the alarm went off it cut off my internet. Regarding the batteries,I have a different alarm system and I will change the batteries every six month, just to be sure everything is up to date. Even though the system manual says every 9-12 months .

Once the battery dies in the sensor, that particular sensor will no longer send a signal to the main alarm unit. I'm finding that the batteries are lasting about 6-8 months.

I have had 2 of these in my home for over a year and I have never had a false alarm. I run the test about once a month and other than that I have never heard them. Sorry folks, you have either received bad units or you have dust or other particulates causing your problems. I am using the 120v version.

Not readily apparent. You will have to contact the manufacturer. I replace the battery in my alarm system every 5 years regardless of whether the battery has failed or not, and I have had two of these batteries last the full 5 years.

We have 2 (our house by code will need 9 total alarms but this issue has us paused on ordering more). Both had multiple false alarms within the first 30 days. We returned each (separately) and were sent new units. Neither has false alarmed and it's been almost a year since the first one (we got them right when they came out).

I think you have to activate the alarm for it to function. I did not activate the alarm. It is easy to tell when the power supply kicks in on battery power because of the increased hum from the inverter. There may be a bell that dings once when the inverter is active.

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 :)

It is not rechargeable! It's a fully charged battery. If it's not running your device, alarm, etc. it's either the wrong battery or defective.

If you're asking how to turn it off so there's no digits displayed - you cannot (besides removing the batteries). I can assure you though that the batteries do last a very long time. I got this to use in the kitchen and it has been working for more than 6 months with daily use. I also have the double timer version that has been running for over a year with the same batteries. If you're asking about the alarm, when it's going off just hit the stop button or turn off the alarm using the side switch.

Once the alarm is triggered it is on for the duration. The alarm has an auto shut off feature so after it goes off twice it automatically shuts off until you rearm it to prevent draining the battery.

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

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

the horn goes off when triggered by your alarm system. The horn alone is useless if you do not have a wireless alarm system to trigger it.. hope that makes sense?

You have to move it for the alarm to trigger. Opening the door won't do it, but closing it will. You can adjust how sensitive it is, and how long it takes to arm after turning the key. So if you move it, it will start beeping and if you don't disarm it, it will trigger the alarm. Don't know how long the 9V battery lasts, because I just got mine a few weeks ago.

Honestly its a cheap product. It never worked for me even when I tested it straight to the battery... But to answer ur question it simply taps into the positive and negative on the alarm system

Depends on your system. This unit feeds off my aux battery system. Would take a lot to kill that, and if it did, my alarm kicks on at any voltage lower than 11. But if it did 'go dead', I do not believe that this has an internal battery source.

The last time I researched the dual alarms were not available in battery operation. They are only made to be hard wired because the dual capability needs more power than batteries can provide. The battery operated ones that I bought are VERY sensitive and work VERY well on all 3 floors of our home.
