Is the Zircon 64003's "Low battery" warning a chirp/beep or a repetitive loud alarm? As loud as the 85 dB full alarm? Thanks.

I am really happy with it. It's a loud obnoxious chirp much like my CO detector. It saved my laundry room once when I left the water running. I don't know about ddB full alarm because I don't know what dB all of my home alarms are.

It's a chirp every few minutes. I remember because it has been so long that I forget I even placed them under the sink. Drove me nuts for a few minutes until I honed in on it then duh!... These things are great -I have one at washing machine, kitchen sink, and hot water tank.

I haven't used it, but the manual states "the alarm has three modes: chime only, light only or both chime and light.

According to the manual, a low battery indicator will sound off with a continuous beep followed by a single beep. That is your warning to replace batteries. If the batteries completely drain, the lock is included with an emergency backup battery pack for you to hide in a special place and use as your power supply if you were unable to replace batteries in time. Does that answer your question? I don't believe there is an override to the code itself, if you overwrite default code and then forget your own code.

It more or less operates as a remote echo of the main Simon. The main Simon panel has a fairly ear splitting alarm. The remote unit does echo up the beeps from the main panel, and gives a visual on things such as whether a door alarm or a window is open. I believe it also allowed one to drill down and see which sensor was alarming. But I never did have an alarm trigger while I was near the remote panel. I did like being able to look over and visually see if any sensor was in an open state. My ultimate parting of the ways came from the power outage behavior and the ridiculous battery enclosure. I finally decided to get a second keychain type remote to have in the bedroom. It more or less operates as a remote echo of the main Simon. The main Simon panel has a fairly ear splitting alarm.

I have one made by Pyrex that does a 10 and 5 minute warning beep. Love it! I got mine at the local Pyrex/Corningware store several years ago. I don't know if they still carry them.

Terrence S is right. This model only has beeping noises. If you want the cooler alarm audio options, you need to get a more expensive model(s), and yes the sounds fades in i.e. it starts low and gradually gets louder just as the light starts dim and gradually gets brighter.

I have noticed that the sun going behind a cloud and then brightening again when it comes out again will trigger the alarm. Also if it is windy tree movement etc. can trigger it. Try repositioning your sensor or shielding part of it. However, if it chimes constantly no matter what the conditions it is probably defective.

Using expensive Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries ($10 for a 4-pack!), I only get about six months before the low battery warnings start. When one begins to beep, others will begin beeping in a week or two. In other words the battery consumption is consistent among the six detectors in the house. My 10 year old Great Dane FREAKS OUT with the beeping sound. I'm now replacing batteries every three months because I fear he'd jump out a window if I was gone and he was exposed to the noise for long.

I too am a deep sleeper and I sleep on the second floor on the opposite side of the house. The alarm is very loud. Additionally, the pager itself is quite loud and will continue to beep even after the alarm outside has gone off. One of the best purchases I have made for the security of my motorcycle.

I unplugged mine and threw it away because it gave many false alarms. The unit, and others like it according to comments on the Internet, are too sensitive. Hair spray, perfume, etc. may set off the alarm. Many pressurized cans use propane as the propellant, so it's not actually a true false alarm because propane is in the air but all that beeping was too much to deal with.

Yes, there is a beep option. Alarm repeats ever couple of minutes for about a half hour in case you have been out of range, outside or such. I find the latter very helpful.

it's been awhile, but i believe several owners reported it having an auto alert preset that would drain the battery. i could be mistaken. i was researching this and the NOAA radio, at the time.

When you hook up the red (battery wire) and the black (ground) the alarm should yelp a couple of times. If it doesn't, it is probably broke. Bulldog used to be a pretty good car alarm. I had one that spoke Spanish, and it lasted 3 years. I think the new ones are built pretty cheap and are probably junk. Also make sure the battery in the remote is not dead.

Not that I am aware of...it is more of a beeping crescendo...I'll be honest...I'm a light sleeper and have slept through the alarm function numerous times...but it may work for another person...it is nice to have three settings and I still utilize it for a back-up alarm...

It's pretty high pitched. I have trouble hearing it. It would be a great alarm if "alert" was lower frequency and a bit louder.

I am not sure I understand your question. Mine beeps three short beeps when the garage door begins to open, and one long beep after it is closed. There is no "alarm when door is closing".

Yes it does provide an audible beep is you exceed accepted accension rates. As I recall there are other alarms that can be set for depth and time, I say that because Ive never used them, but I believe I recall seeing that in the "Alarm" setup.
