Does it sound an alarm too so that you can hear it?

Yes it sounds alarms same as the base station. You can pretty much do all functions that the base station can do. It also allows you to hear what the base station status is as well by pressing options and hear for example status. It will not however sound information such as an opening door etc. I do like the two I have also has an easy override button that is better than the base station. However if you have big fingers or long fingernails this is a really tough to use device.

It more or less operates as a remote echo of the main Simon. The main Simon panel has a fairly ear splitting alarm. The remote unit does echo up the beeps from the main panel, and gives a visual on things such as whether a door alarm or a window is open. I believe it also allowed one to drill down and see which sensor was alarming. But I never did have an alarm trigger while I was near the remote panel. I did like being able to look over and visually see if any sensor was in an open state. My ultimate parting of the ways came from the power outage behavior and the ridiculous battery enclosure. I finally decided to get a second keychain type remote to have in the bedroom. It more or less operates as a remote echo of the main Simon. The main Simon panel has a fairly ear splitting alarm.

I haven't tried it for an alarm but keep it on for the clock. It is a really marvelous speaker and I am so glad I purchased it.

Depending on how you set it it may make a small noise. Normally though, no.

No, it doesn't have an alarm. It simply stops working. It is nearly silent when it runs, so I doubt you will hear it when it stops. I love mine!!

Yes. Sometimes the vibrations from closing another door or dropping something set off the alarm

Yes it does and one of the nice things about this unit is that when you set the alarm, the volume is fixed also.

Yes, I have it set for radio alarm like my old one and the volume can be turned up loud.

I don't recall it had an alarm, but I want you to know that ours quit working and the company wouldn't fix it. Maybe try a different company.

No it does not. The only connection is to attach the float switch that when triggered closes the contact and the alarm sounds

No, the alarm is basically a deterrent to a thief. When the security is breached, the alarm does sound, but not loud enough for even a close neighbor to hear. I guess it amounts to a scare tactic to a thief looking for an easy break- in. Hope this helps

No it does not but you could possibly move the receiver where you are working and/or turn up the volume. It is loud when it is fully increased and states: "Alert Zone 1" ,2,3 or what ever you set it for. I have ringing in my ears and can hear it from about 30' in our house with the volume low.

Yes. . . . But you can't hear it at all unless you turn it all the way up . . . And even then you can barely hear it. Save your money. It's junk

If you did this it probably would set off the alarm and I am not sure you want to do this if you do not need to. It is a very loud sound.

It does Harold but remember, the alarm is very loud and there is no volume control that I could find! Do I use the two I bought? No, I can't wake the whole house everytime Momma leaves her room!

If the room is right next door, yes you could hear the alarm. Yes, the alarm goes off until you turn off the unit.
1684340
Yes, and yes. There is a very loud speaker built into the base unit that sounds if the alarm is triggered, and I can hear it from anywhere inside, outside, and around the house when it goes off. Additionally, there is a log you can view on the device itself that shows every door opening/closing, window opening/closing, sensor tripping, etc. And, when a sensor triggers a change, it shows that in real time on the display. Very handy when testing and setting things up, too!

No.It's not possible to set it to give out a chime sound in Alarm mode.The smaller piece goes on the door frame with adhesive.Unless you have a wooden door frame.
