How Does The XTRALERT Alarm Box & Siren Work?
The Alarm Box is connected to the relay outputs on your existing security sensor receiver. The siren is then connected to the back of the Alarm Box. Activate (or deactivate) your Alarm Box by using one of the two included Key fobs. Once your system is activated, and the sensor(s) detect motion, your siren will immediately start sounding.
What if I am in my house with the alarm deactivated and someone trys to break in?
We've got you covered, each remote for the Alarm Box & Siren is equiped with a PANIC button. Simply press the PANIC button and your Alarm Box and Siren will immediately start alerting.
How do I know I successfully activated my Alarm Box before I leave?
Your Alarm Box includes 2 Key Fobs used for activating and deactivating your Alarm Box. Upon activating, your Siren will chirp 1 time. Upon deactivating your Alarm Box, your siren will chirp 2 times. If you are deactivating your Alarm Box and it chirps more than 2 times, see below.
How Do I Know If My Alarm Box Triggered When I Was Away?
Once you return home you will need to deactivate your Alarm Box before you are in a position to trigger your sensor(s). Normally your Alarm Box will chirp 2 times. If your Alarm Box chirps 4 times, that means your Alarm Box was triggered while you were away. At this point, you need to take caution entering your home. Once you have safely entered your home, follow the instruction to easily reset your Alarm Box.
This device is not intended to be a life saving device. Always be aware of your surroundings and take nesseccary precautions to protect your safety.
Will the Alarm Box call the police?
No - The XTRALERT Alarm Box is strictly a siren. If you are interested in adding an optional phone dialer, we have multiple models available. We have standard phone dialers available that utilize your land line telephone line or we have dialers available that use cellular towers to transmit either a standard telephone call or transmit a text message to pre-programmed contacts.
Is There A Monthly Fee?
No - The XTRALERT Alarm Box does not have any monthly fees or contracts associated with it. It is strictly a security device with an external alarm designed to scare off would be intruders and notify neighbors of potential problems.
My sensors are all outside, will it still work?
Yes, however, the outdoor environment is an uncontrolled environment which increases the risk of false triggers. Please keep in mind, if you are away, the Alarm Box is activated and the mailman delivers a package to your door, he might in fact set off your alarm. If you want to use your outdoor sensors in conjunction with the Alarm Box, it is highly suggested that the sensors be mounted in the most controlled location(s) as possible, to minimize unwanted triggers.
How far away can I be to activate or deactivate my Alarm Box?
Every environment is different. Some environments are "busier" that other in regards to wireless interference. We feel comfortable stating there is a 100 ft range between the Alarm Box and the Key Fob. Some may experience a farther range others may not.

Had to call tech support to help me set this up with my current sensors. Great support department. They got me up and running with no problem. I am most likely going to purchase a dialer of some sort to maximize the features of my new alarm system.
