will sensor beam, when broke set off alarm, or other noise to wake a person?

The single beam sensor has a relay output rated at 1 amp 30 volt max. Hence if you need to set off an alarm when the beam is broke you need to supply the alarm and connect it to the relay terminals.

I have mine set up to trigger an external alarm ( with its own buzzer and power supply). It works, but only closes the circuit for the time that the beam is broken. Since I have it across a path, the time that the beam is broken is a fraction of a second, which is not enough time for my buzzer to get to full volume.

Depends on what system or control board you hook them to. Need to hook to control board that. Has timer so when the beem is broken the alarm will sound for a set time from 10 sec to 5 min most are 1 min then it resetsgives u time to hear it going off

If you disassemble it, you can see what the sensor is like. It's just a spring fixed at the bottom on the printed circuit board, and the top is free. Around the top is a metal frame, when lock is moved, top of spring starts swaying and touches the frame, thus triggering the alarm sound. So if the sensor is not sensitive enough, you can decrease the gap between top spring and the frame, or make spring a little softer.

Yes. You can set it to emergency alert mode and if there is a weather alert for your area it will come on. And yes, it will wake you up.

Yes. There is a test mode which when activated chimes when any alarm is triggered (window, door and motion detector).

I'm sorry...mine quickly died and I can't remember if it had an alarm feature.

When the magnetic connection between the two parts of this sensor is broken, your alarm system will register an open condition. I guess if the window or door is struck in such a way that would cause the sensor parts to move enough to break the magnetic contact it might trigger the alarm. However, I think they were only meant to register open or closed.

Yes, the 2nd sensor can be left unplugged. If both sensors are used, they both would need to be opened for the alarm to sound.

if you touch the alarm when it's on it will go off and will scare the crap out of the theif before he can turn it off it is very loud. i have placed it to where it can't be seen so there is no chance of anyone turning it off with out alerting me.

I don't think so. At first I thought it was really cool and working but now I noticed it goes off AFTER I've gotten up. so I will have already gotten early and done a few things and then the alarm starts.

Yes you can wake to the sounds or the radio or a beeper. The wake-up sounds start at zero volume then slowly increase to a predetermined upper volume level. Then there is a snooze (with variable settings) or any button will turn the alarm off. There are a lot of complexities to all the features, but it's okay once you get used to it. I recommend this product.

Carolyn, I would think you could, I have mine pretty far a part so really can't answer your question. The sensor goes off quickly but takes 15-20 seconds to reset before the alarm goes off again. I also have a driveway alarm from Harbor Freight that is cheaper and they respond quickly and you can add another sensor.Sorry about the answer. I see what another posted. I've haven't had any issues with my alarms and really like them.

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!

There is no "ALARM" only a relay switch which activates as long as the beam is blocked, SO if the beam is blocked for 1 second the switch is on for 1 second.

Item 4 in my instructions say: " 1) Alert - Beeps when a sensor is activated, corresponding zone LED will also flash.2) Alarm - Sounds an alarm when a sensor is activated, corresponding zone LED will also flash.3) Off - No audio sound will be emitted when sensor is activated. Zone LED will flash to indicate the activated sensor."As far as I see, there is no adjustment, not even a speaker grille to cover.

The glass break sensor itself doesn't make a sound. It activates an alarm on the system when triggered just as opening a door does if the system is armed.

This alarm will NOT alert you that it has been set off... it's only $16... it's just an alarm. If you want something that will alert you in any way, it's going to cost quite a bit more money I'd imagine.

I do not think so. When it stops working I change the batteries. I never heard an alarm
