If you set the bypass button and want to leave the doors open does the alarm stay off until the doors are re-closed.

no the alarm sensor will allow us 8 seconds after we push the bypass, after that it will sense the door is open and go off. When we have parties I usually remove the battery, due to the reason we are outside all day, and it allows my guest to come in and out of the house.. :) Hope this helps

You can not leave the doors open. Only way is to remove battery or place magnet on sensor.

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

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.

Yes, there is a hold button (red) that overrides the system so you can keep doors open. If you forget to push it and the doors close you can still get back in as long as you have the outdoor keypad access.

This alarm is for you to use while you are in the room with it and the door you are putting the alarm on is closed. There is no "on/off" switch, but all you do is put the pronged, active end of the alarm back into its casing. When your are back inside your door you easily place the alarm back in an active position. Hope this helps. This alarm is very loud and gave me a sense of security while traveling.

It stays open until the next alarm is scheduled! So if you have it programmed for 9am and 9 pm and it goes off at 9am it remains open until 9pm.

Yes and no: No, damaging the loop bar itself does not inherently set off the alarm (which is what I think you are asking), but keep in mind that it would be almost impossible to cut through the loop bar (and remove it) without moving the lock body enough to set off the alarm; it's pretty sensitive.

The unit itself is based on on-off switches. It's a very basic technology. For the door switch, think of it like a set of tweezers on a wire you slip into the door crack. When the tweezers switch comes apart from the door being opened, the alarm goes off. Since the unit is base on on-off switch technology, there's no drain on the battery other than what you use.

if the person lifts up to turn, it will go off, but normally shuts right off. I have not experienced false alarms. This was very beneficial to us.

The only thing this alarm does is chime or alarm every single time the door is opened. It has no on/off switch. I can't see how it would help your cause. I would recommend an intercom with an alarm button.

No. You have to turn the alarm off then turn it back on again after the time has past.

No it does not. The alarms are not linked so the only alarm that goes off when a window or door is breeched is the alarm from that specific unit, not the base unit. Thanks!

You have to turn the button. I like this feature since it's easy to tell if the door is locked with out opening the door.

No, the light will remain off only until you close the door and press "start" only then will you see the light. This was also mentioned by other reviewers and so I know its not just me. I guess Panasonic engineers didn't think this was of no importance.

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.

No. The window alarms have a 3-switch slide button on the left hand side of the larger unit. The up position switches it off and the middle and lower positions are two different types of alarms.

If it is making constant contact, thus allowing constant voltage on your opener from a full time closed loop instead of a momentary pulse, which it should be doing, then yes it will keep the opener in one position. It is an override for the safety sensors at the bottom of the door. If the sensors fail, the only way to close the door is to stand there and hold the button down until the door is fully closed. If this is not the first time you have had to change the button, then I would guess that you have a short in the wire, most commonly caused by a staple shorting the two wires together somewhere between the button and the opener.
