I have an SC101 system. Can the AA433 alarm be used as an outside siren? Will it automatically go off if a motion sensor is activated?

It probably not waterproof but yes, I mounted the alarm under the eves of the roof in front of the house. I believe it turns off after a while if a motion sensor is activated. Most alarms will re-arm itself after a cycle of a few minutes.

Yes, I use it as an outside siren. Do wrap it in plastic to shield it from the elements, like plastic shopping bags. As long as you sync it and the sensor to the master controller you should be fine. Just do according to written instructions.

That is right. The AA433 well sound an alarm outside when the SC101 get a motion activation alarm from a sensor.

Yes. Mine is under the eave of the porch roof and works great even it triggered by a remote motion sensor. However, it needs an electrical socket to plug into. Also, it's not very loud over 70 feet and it must be kept dry.

Yes. I have the SC001 keypad in the house and the AA433 in detached garage with sensor. If someone can even get the door up an inch, both alarms inside and out go off. Works great by me.

It will still work fine. In fact, you will only need to attach the sensor side since the magnet will cause it to stick to the door. Since the alarm only goes off when the door if open there will be minimal interference so long as you do not place the receiver directly behind where now open door is between the transmitter and receiver since the signal will now have to bounce around before being received.

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

The water siren can indeed be connected as I have done so; I also have a second water alarm independently wired although I think you could splice them together if desired; I am not sure about the motion detector

Basically you need to connect a phone line to it. It has an RJ25 jack connection. I assume that is what you use for land phone lines in Canada? You can then program it to call out a specific phone number when the alarm is triggered. Works well so far for us. The only issue we have had is the 3M double backed adhesive tape failed for the motion sensors - not strong enough. Hope that helps.

Hi Christal it will work with any alarm that already has a siren. You will not be able to program different voices to it , that is another module that is extremley hard to find its only availble in the Asian market as far as I know. Hope this helps you. Have a great day.

You would need to connect it to a compatible alarm control panel. The alarm panel provides the control signal and power to the siren.

Yes, however it may be too sensitive in an outdoors area. My alarm seems to trigger from bugs and small leaves blowing past it.

No, the alarm is based on water displacement not water movement. Wind, waves or a pool cleaner shouldn't set it off. We never had problems with our pool cleaner setting off the alarm.

Sorry, we don't have the manual at home as we use this at our up north property. But my husband says it is explained in the manual. Wish I could be of more help! Once we got it up and running with an outdoor siren we're pretty happy with the extra security we have! We were broken in to last year and have changed a few things....this being one of them! Good luck!

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

The signal that activates the alarm, including the siren, is relayed through the main unit. Once you activate the panic button the signal is then relayed to the main unit and from there transmitted to the siren. I'm not sure if you're asking if you need the main unit to use the panic button but if you are, the answer is yes. My system works okay although I wish the siren was louder since I live in a rural area and my nearest neighbor is pretty far away. If you live in the suburbs or apartment building then it should be loud enough. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints about the the system. It does take a little bit of learning to understand how it all works but not that bad and I think it's well worth the price when compared to other units.

This is not an alarm. It typically works in tandem with an alarm. It has canbus features. Different applications for different vehicles. Don't buy it I have one for sale (KIK - chuckholmes)

I'm not sure. I use the Endomondo app with this product and I haven't seen a setting for it. I would think any alarm/alerts/warnings would be app specific and not necessarily a feature of this product.

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

The sensor will not directly make an alarm trigger, but with the SmartSense Hub and a little bit of work with the SmartSense scripting thing on their site you should be able to instruct an alarm device to trigger when a certain type of event is detected. There might already be examples of this on their developer site.

Yes the external siren needs to be connected to the main alarm but I haven't try it yet and I am sure it wouldn't be any problem good luck
