I set the lock, and I wait 1 min,then I move it around to test the alarm.seems you really need to bang the heck out of it for the alarm to go off, why

If you disassemble it, you can see what the sensor is like. It's just a spring fixed at the bottom on the printed circuit board, and the top is free. Around the top is a metal frame, when lock is moved, top of spring starts swaying and touches the frame, thus triggering the alarm sound. So if the sensor is not sensitive enough, you can decrease the gap between top spring and the frame, or make spring a little softer.

I have the same issue, so when I go to use it, I actually hit the enter button first, then I enter the code number followed by the enter button again. Then it works on the first try. I figure it just needs to 'wake up' first.

It's been several months since we replaced ours, so only going on memory here. There was a 'one minute' button which would heat on high for one minute. If you enter say 530, it should heat for 5 minutes 30 seconds, at whatever power level selected. If it doesn't do that, it's defective. Try entering a time then hit the timer button, which should just time down and sound the alarm when the time is up. If that doesn't work either, you know it's defective. Good luck. (Our control panel worked fine for 10 years.)

I have sensitive ears, so the alarm was so loud to me that I didn't just let it go to see if it reset itself. I just shut it off physically. Hope that helps.

The alarm goes off after the designated time has elapsed and then continues to beep for one minute. This is a beeping type of alarm not a continuous type...thank goodness. :-)

From reading the instructions, you have to set all the alarms at once, so you'll need to go through the alarm setup from the beginning. Press button 1 and then release. Set the time by using button 2 for hours and button 3 for minutes. When the time is right press button 1 again to save the alarm. It then advances to alarm 2 and you set it the same way. When you get to alarm 3, press button 2 until the display says --:-- which occurs after 11pm. It says to end by pressing button 1 until the alarm symbol stops blinking.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

The alarm sounds continually for about 30 seconds, +/-, and then shuts off. It will then reset to the time you previously set it for. This item is described to continue until one manually shuts if off. But the instructions that come with it say different and after using it, I found the instructions are correct...not the advertised description.

If I haven't used mine in for about 10 mins, it will not respond the first time I push a button. It's like you have to wake it up. The second time I push a button (sound, vibrate or shock) it works fine and will continue to be "active" until it "goes to sleep" in about 10 mins.

30 seconds to siren the alarm, that is too lonnnggggg. Specially you can hear the beep-beep sound from the MAIN control panel. that is not a good Idea, giving the burlar emough time to break the system before it siren. My solution is to buy another siren and disconnect the speaker from the main control panel. still 30 seconds, but burglar will not hear anything. the bad part is you don't hear anything either when you setting your alarm system. But I just both an on and off switch for the speaker. so I can hear when I do something with the system. I'm not sure if there is any other way to do easier than what I have.

It will not remember the time, so you'll have to set it again. The alarm shuts off automatically after one minute.

The alarm should not be able to go off if it doesn't have the break disc in between it. Even with the unit off the bike and in the locked position, it should not go off. Maybe you have a faulty unit.

This alarm is very tough to get 'spot on' for an alarm time. Of the two buttons on the back, the top one rotated counter clockwise, moves the silver pointer around to the time you want it to ring. Then pop the top big brown button so it is up and you are ready to go. Test it out with something 10 to 20 minutes out from right now and see how close to your target time it rings. unlike a digital, the analog clock works on gears and pointers so it is not an exact science.

I tried to do the same thing with the same app and found it to be unreliable. Sometimes nothing would happen when the alarm was scheduled to activate. It may be the tune in app itself, as I've had some startup issues with it.

Be careful then--we've had issues with this quite a few times because if it's not pushed in the very middle, it might not set off alarm!!! I finally colored in the middle of the alarm to show where the alarm needed to be3 pressed which helps somewhat--it's almost a matter of feel to a certain extent! I'm sorry, because it's a good basic system but without hand strength, I'm not sure you can count on it.

Mine worked just fine out of the box after I instaled the wires to my current alarm. I suggest you check to make sure the batteries are installeld correctly.I do not remember if there were toggle siwtches that need to be set to make it work but I think not. Check to make sure you installed the wires corrrectly in your current alarm.Absent that working, call the help number on your installation document. Good luck. I love mine.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.
