How exactly does this sensor work? I had bestbuy install this, and started getting false chirps.

Pull the small rubber plugs out of the case and use a very small screwdriver to adjust sensitivity. Adjust the screw that's closer to the middle of the case first. It takes trial and error. I have max sensitivity set to the "warn" zone,inner screw. I have min sensitivity set to outer screw, "the full alarm zone", and let door switches and vibration sensors trigger the full alarm.

Ya that happen to me bring it back they have to adjust the range I brought mine back at least a dozen times threw the course of two years

It may be set too sensitive. There are adjustment dials to adjust the sensitivity. The instructions explain how to adjust it.

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.

Hello Kathleen, The unit comes with one "standard" sensor rated at 71Amps (8.5kW @ 120VAC) and will "clamp" over a 10mm (3/8") wire. There is a 200Amp (17mm wire) available (sold as an accessory). You will need at least two sensors if you're in the US (if you're aiming at total usage). The transmitter has inputs for up to 3 sensors (3phase) Most all US residential is 120/240 60Hz two wire with a neutral. These units appear to be originally intended for the UK (Euro) market where the power grid is 230VAC 50Hz single wire and neutral. I couldn't seem to find any sensors locally (in the US) and finally ordered from MGElectronics Ltd, Egmanton, UK, Nottinghamshire thru Ebay. (Sorry, I don't have the link at hand) Just Google Owl CM119 (or your model #) sensors - there will be many hits. &lt;$25 US with "Royal" shipping - - takes a while (like 2 weeks) but eventually gets here. Funny, shipments from China arrive in 3 to 5 days - - go figure . . . must be the language barrier - - humm? BTW I really like my monitor - much better than the Efergy E2, although, I do like Efergy's software a bit more. When checking against a known load (wattage) the Owl is spot-on, whereas the E2 varies. Have a great day.

I agree with Jose. We also bought 3 and 1 was bad. Honeywell replaced it with one that works. Looks like the magic number is a 66% rate of good sensors. Hopefully Honeywell will improve their quality control. The units that function properly work very well.

I bought two (2)... one works just fine as adjusted. The second one just started to comes on days and night and stays on for 3/4 seconds. I tried adjusting the sensor and time duration with no positive results. Trying to contact All Pro for resolution.

Ivan had a legitimate question Cliff with a sarcastic answer from you. My monitor has the same problem and is worthless at this point. If we figure it out I will fairly rate this product. Our security system is a high test system and not from the big box stores.

chirping is from the unit..(or another one near by) not the wires...we replaced 5 old units (about 6 yrs old) recently as one was chirping due to expiration. Until this happened I had no idea they would alert us to replace them. replace the units.

All I need to do to get mine to work is to hold down the buttons and it shows the numbers in black. I haven't had a problem with the sensor at all.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

Mine only chirps for about 30 seconds and then stops on it's own. I had to shake it to start it chirping again.

Can't answer the tech side; that's why I had Bestbuy Geek Squad install for me, but I have not had that issue so far.

I don't know yet. I just received the sensors this week and will take them to Subaru this coming week. When I asked Subaru they said they couldn't tell me if these sensors would work until they actually install them and try to link to my system. If you want to ask again in 5 days, I'd be glad to let you know how it all worked out. By the way, my local Les Schwab has refused to install them saying they do not have access to the codes.

I'm not sure but you could check it out on YouTube or ask someone with tech experience like a Bestbuy co-worker.

Aim directly at the sensor & make sure the connections are fully plugged in. You could also contact customer service- Worst case scenario, return it & get another one.

Make sure that it is setup as a non wired sensor. If this setting is incorrect then you will see behavior like this.

None what so ever.I stopped using it after 6 months as one sensor failed and too much hassle to get a replacement.

To be honest, I don't even think my PlasmaWave feature works. Or at least there is no way for me to tell other than the indicator light being on. It does not make any zapping sounds or anything. I'm thinking its a scam?
