If the siren goes off outside, can it be reset from the inside

This siren is just that, a siren nothing else. This siren has to be connected to something that will turn it on and power it.

The siren is not a stand alone alarm system. It is a signaling device. It must be connected to an alarm system.

Thanks for the question!The EXTERNAL in the description actually applies to the fact that this alarm is not a part of the original alarm but hooks up by wire to it. However, we have heard from many customers who do use it outside with no issue. WE suggest only using it outside if it is protected from the elements, such as under an eave.

Yes it does need to be connected by the wire. The nice thing is that if someone breaks in and hears the reminder (to turn off unit) beep and smashes the unit, removes the batteries or cuts the wire to the external siren; the external siren will still go off. You can get a extention wire online or any electronics store if needed. Placing the external siren where it can't be quickly found by an intruder is important. I hope this helps. G.W.

No, when the alarm goes off the only way to stop it is to enter the code or take out the batteries. The battery compartment has a set screw so it's not easy to get into.

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!

Yes, I bought mine with the same intentions. I have a ADT system that came stock with internal siren only. You'll just have to take your electric meter out and find which connections are hot when the internal alarm is sounding. Once you find that connection just hook the new ademco siren in with it. FYI, ademco only needs power to sound off....

yes, you can adjust the time on the outside alarm from 0-30 min. and you can unplug the inside alarm.

I have no idea. I would think that it should stop when it is not connected. I would go down to the fire dept and ask them. They might come over and have a look. They didfor me when I couldn't figure out how to SOS one t the old one. Good luck.

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.

No, it is not. Only an off position, a beep position (which is not overbearing but if it were going off regularly could be annoying, however, it is not overly loud either), and the alarm/siren position that is quite loud. I leave mine on beep unless we are expecting several guests or family members and then I set it to off while they are here. Generally during the day, while outside working in yard, etc., I will leave it off. Otherwise, it's on.

The panel does not have a siren however you do not have to use the siren you can have a silent alarm that will call your phone if programed aswell as the police if you program their number

Yes, this mace security siren works well outdoor or indoor. We are very happy with it.

The alarm will clear once power is restored. If power will be prolonged for hours, there is an on-off switch to disable the alarm.

Yes, the home owner can reset the unit. I have had to reset mine. You just have to make sure the sensor is dry and then press the button on the wall unit. The sensor does not need to be replaced if the unit is activated. The sensor needs to be removed from the paper sleeve and dried off. I used a paper towel. The paper sleeve then needs to dry out before it can be used again. Once everything is dry, the sensor can be placed back into its location.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

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.

I dont think that is possible as is. All this does is alert you went the power goes out with a loud, shrill beep. You might hook it up to something else that would dial out when it is activated, not sure. It does work. Had mine go off a couple times when power was out.
