How do you reset the low battery chirp? I reset the detector by holding TEST for 5sec as recommended in a review. Also cut power to room. No luck!

You need to replace the 9V battery but make sure that when you install the new battery that you place the red bar under the battery or it won't work and therefore the chirping sound. If you have done that then perhaps you either installed the battery backwards or the new battery is defective or expired. There is no reset button for the chirping sound. Holding down the reset button is to reset the alarm not the chirping. Hope this answers your question.

take the battery out and remove the unit some where else and let it sit for a little while

I believe the "batt low light on the panel flashing every 1.5 seconds refers to the backup battery. When the remote wireless sensors have low batteries, they will exhibit "odd" flashing and a number will appear on the LCD screen of the panel denoting which sensor has a failed battery. I placed numbers on my 5 sensors so I could locate the failed unit when indicated by the number on the panel screen. Here's the language from the MACE Manual; "When the battery is running low the LED will flash every 1.5 seconds to indicate the low battery. When a wireless sensor's battery is low, the LCD will show the battery icon and the sensor zone number." "When the battery is running low on the accessories, the LED light will go on for 3 seconds and off for 1 second. Change batteries immediately to ensure continuous operation of the security system".

No, if one gets a low battery they do not daisy chain the chirping. It only happens on the one unit. Usually the batteries should work fine for 6 months and you then replace them, so they should not be running low unless you are going over 6 months or they have been used often and alarming within the 6 months.

Hard to tell what the problem might be, but I would suggest that you make sure they have both a good, fresh battery as well as a hardwire connection. If either of these is not up to snuff, you will get the chirp (they need both).

I had that problem as well. I contacted Nine Stars and the first things that they tell you to do is number one clean the sensor with plain water and a rag and wipe it dry, then take the batteries out and let it sit for 24 hours before putting them back in. Unfortunately that didn't fix my problem so I had to pay to ship it back to them ( it was under warranty) and they fixed it at no charge and they shipped it back at no charge.

I would look and see if the battery protector strip is removed and that the batteries are in correctly. Secondly I would turn the unit off by taking the batteries out and starting over. You might to use the reset button. Good luck.

I installed mine Nov 2013 and replaced the batteries today, Mar 2015, not because it was beeping, but because my other two detectors installed at the same time, but a different type, both beeped for replacement within the last week so I decided to do a pre-emptive replacement since this detector is in the bedroom. Both batteries showed about 1.2v remaining power.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

As long as you have a good battery when you lose power it keeps on working it will start chirping when you lose power and the battery becomes weak I hope this helps you. Good luck

Haven't had this problem myself. Try taking the batteries out for a few mins then reinsert and see if that will reset the unit.

Simply disconnect it from the wall. Press the test button and it will discharge the rest of the internal energy and will now be silent. Removing the battery confuses the detector and it thinks the battery is just really low.If you used the Kidde battery that came with the detector, then you should throw it out and purchase a decent one that will last longer than 9 months, such as a Duracell ProCell.

My detector model doesn't have any blue lights, only green. I suspect a low battery.

Removing the battery will NOT RESET the sensor. That was my mistake, I did not know that, and I ordered a replacement sensor. You have to reset the sensor after a battery change by pressing a thin tool, like for example a pin into the small hole opening on the back.

We had a power fault that disrupted a number of electronic gadgets. Remove battery, unplug charger for 30 seconds. Upon battery insertion you should have two solid red indicators (no blinking red). If all is okay in 3-4 hours a proper charge yields solid red and green. Remove bat and push green test button, this should yield four green indicators. If not go to plan "B". Cheers, Dennis

Does any one know how to reset the fault siren? I've remove batteries from the detectors & sensors, meaning no signal to trigger the alarm, but the SC-100 control panel still siren after enable Home Sequence or Arm Sequnce.I tried contact Skylink Support via phone & email, butno respond. The worst thing is, instruction does not include trooble shooting section. Please help. Thank you!

Try removing the batteries, and leave them out for a couple of hours before putting them back in. It is possible there is a static buildup on the sensor. I had a similar problem with a desktop scanner, and performing a power cycle solved the problem. Other than that contact VuPoint tech support.

i thought the same thing but hold the button down to test for a beep. then press button again to disengage so it stops. keep you eye on the light it does not blink that often but it should blink. if that does not work contact mfg. cause something is wrong. but again it takes time to see it blink and if the test work it is working from what i can see.
