What does the word "continuous" mean here? Will the timer continue to sound the alarm until it is shut off? I'm looking for that.

I haven't pushed it to its limits, but it continues to sound for many minutes before I finally shut it off. I think my max so far has been 11 minutes. The tone changes speed, similar to some alarm clocks, preventing me from "tuning it out" as a background sound. The timer continues to run as the sound continues so I can see how long it's been since the alarm started.

Yes, that is what it means. The light or sound, whichever you set it to, will continue until the stop button is pushed.

Yes. There's a "power on" setting unrelated to the timer, so you can keep it on continuously.

As far as I know, I believe it will run 10 min. continuously. I haven't really tried to. The pulse reading must get to 91 or 92 before the alarm stops. I hope this helps.

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

There is a small sliding button on the face of the timer. The choices are "on" and "timer" Move the button to "timer" and the timer will be activated. The "on" position will give continuous power instead of off an on timer power.

If the sensor is triggered, it goes off for about 15 to 20 seconds, then it stops on its own until it is triggered again. There is a mute button on the back of the control box, so if you want to cancel the alarm sound sooner you can...

timer function is independent of the on function. So it will run continuously if you just turn it on.

Think of it as a light bulb...once it gets triggered, ('switched on'), it stays on until you, or your triggering system, shuts it off or resets. It doesn't have it's own timer....same as a light bulb.

Mine seems to last a couple months. Not overly thrilled with the alarm because it would go off all the time for no reason and now it seems to be working fine.

You set the alarm to sound for a certain amount of time(for my mother I set it to stay on for 1 hr). After the hour is up the door stays open until the next alarm goes off. For my mother we had 3 alarms that went off in the course of a day.

I remember from the instructions that this appliance will shut off after 4 hours of continuous use. This is quite a long time - not enough to avert disaster if something is burning up. It does not shut off when the timer (very loud) goes off - this is just the same type of signal as on a regular range.

No! It will continue to alarm until you put in your code. Only then will it shut down.

Like others have mentioned, the sound machine stays on all night. That's what we do, we leave it on the entire night. I have never had a use for the timer. The button for the timer is directly below the power button. I've hit it accidentally once and found I had no sound in the middle of the night. But that's not a regular ongoing issue.

No. It's a countdown timer alarm. Set the hours and minutes you want it to go off in.

Unfortunately, the only way to stop the audible alarm is when the timer reaches zero. There is no mute button. The alarm only sounds in the count-down mode. You can't make the alarm beep after a specified amount of time when it's in the "stopwatch" mode.

Either on or off and the alarm is continuous until your mute it, unlike the motion sensor option

The alarm should not be able to go off if it doesn't have the break disc in between it. Even with the unit off the bike and in the locked position, it should not go off. Maybe you have a faulty unit.
