How long will the siren stay on after an alarm?
A. The Control Console will sound the siren for four minutes. That means it should ring for one minute per phone number that you have programmed into the unit. Your emergency contact will hear your emergency message and the alarm in the background. A shorter alarm length is better when a false alarm happens. If there isnt an actual robbery and the system rings for too long youre likely to have many neighbor complaints, and its possible that a passer by will call the police when there isnt actually a problem. You dont want that to happen. Four minutes is long enough to reach all emergency contacts and then the police. If youre worried about the strength or the effectiveness of the alarm, we recommend adding a PowerHorn siren to the system. Your system will be louder and you have the ability to move the alarm at will.
