is the sensor battery operated? and if so, Can the battery be replaced?

Yes they are battery operated, but you can not change the battery, they are sealed into the unit.

Yes there is a battery insideNo it is sealed and epoxied I tried Battery last about 10 years

No. It is not battery operated. It has a sensor that is read by the car computer. It needs to be programmed to a specific wheel.

Yes, it's powered by a small battery and is sealed. It's a throw away item. I buy them from Rocks Auto Parts for about $ 47.00.

The sensor is battery operated, however the battery and all of the electronics are encapsulated and as such not serviceable nor replaceable. The battery does however last several years under normal conditions.

Yes, it has a sensor. The sensor is attached to a wire, which is plugged into the unit. The sensor is external, but I am not aware of add-on sensors that are internal, being available.

The sensor assembly is not repairable only because the internal components can't be obtained. But the sensor as a complete assembly can be used as a direct replacement for a failed sensor assembly. Just shut off power to the entire unit, disconnect the wiring inside the dual lampholder that is connceted to the sensor assembly, unscrew the sensor assemblyand remove it then install the replacement sensor using a reverse of the removal procedure.

Hi, yes is battery operated! AA... i cant remember the number of batteriea because i purchased this for a gift...

The sensor does not come with a charger, nor need to charge it, in fact there's no way you could change the battery. I read on apple.com that once it does stop working you need to replace it with a new sensor. I know, it kind of sucks but that's the way it is. Hope you find the info useful

No it's not. I encoded mine in an plastic electrical box with a small cut out for the sensor. Works well.

This model does not have a battery in it. It gets its power from the main alarm system board. If your alarm system is working everywhere else except this sensor then it would appear that the sensor is not working any more. Make sure the rest of your alarm system is working properly before replacing the sensor. It might just be a loose wire in the sensor circuit.

I think you can purchase replacement sensors from Big Bike Parts. You would have to contact them at info@bigbikeparts.com with your question. Although I have had to replace on of the sensor batteries, the sensors have been trouble free. The receiver unit is NOT waterproof though.

There is no switch on the sensor. The base unit requires a code that you can set in order to turn on/off.

I have not tried this Christopher. However I am an electronics technician . As long as you only apply a thin coat of spray paint it shouldn't affect the sensor. You will eventually need to get into the unit to replace the battery so a thick coat may make that more difficult. Other than that is shouldn't affect its ability to operate normally

Hi. I noticed these are in the package. Battery operated and wireless but I did not tried. I am using the PIR sensor operations and happy with the battery endurance and alarm alerting

The batteries are enclosed in the dome part of the unit behind the LED and sensor. You can unscrew the battery encasing from the unit but you would need to get up to the unit to change the battery.

Installed ours about 6 months ago and it works great! It is battery powered (3-AA batteries) and I assume the sensors must be a circuit board inside the case. Hope this helps.

Detects poisoning gases, fire alarm sensor. Had it since 7/13 and have not replaced the battery. Hope this was useful?

If you are asking if the sensor itself can be cleaned, I don't think so. I recall the instructions recommend simply vacuuming the unit once a month but this is a pretty standard sealed unit, minimal maintenance sort of detector.

We have an older model, and have a recycle bin on the floor under the sensor. I have found if my wife puts something in the bin that blocks the sensor (a few inches away), then the batteries go dead in a few days. Otherwise, it usually more than a year between battery changes.

I agree with Lawis' answer below. The old sensor can be removed from the fixture and replaced with this one.
