Re: Concord Express Siren Time-Out

[JoeRaisin <joeraisin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know if your panel works the same as the ones we use but...

After a siren times out it only remains silent until another zone is
tripped.

So the dogs set off the alarm... Siren blares and the dogs hide under
the bed.  After 4 minutes the siren goes silent... few minutes later the
dog comes out and trips the motion again... siren blares again.

This cycle repeats until the dog learns to stay under the bed...
