Questions & Answers

My motorhome has lost power to the entire interior and I'm interested in plugging this into an outside outlet to let neighbors know that it's lost power. There are dogs inside the motorhome, so setting up an AC system inside the motorhome is critical for the dogs' safety in the event of a power outage. ?

You can compare it to a smoke detector because it is incredibly loud. However, I would make sure there is some form of cover, even an awning, if it is connected outside.

I would like to know how far the noise reaches through a wall. Thanks for your time, and I am looking forward to hearing back from you?

Does the alarm go off if a device (such as a deep freezer) breaks down?

Despite the fact that even a current detector is not a guarantee of your freezer's functionality, you are thinking of a current detector. If you are not sure whether the freezer temperature has been compromised (current draw may be correct but the door may be open, for example), a temperature alarm would notify you. The downside of this is that the contents are already well on their way to thawing when you receive the alarm. With a power outage alarm, you'll know as soon as there is a problem while it's still possible to take action.

I cannot believe it
5/5

It doesn't work all the time! Yes, I agree! So you located the plug, but now you say "Wow, that's crazy expensive. " You're right about ", and I agree. You take a chance and buy one because you're tired of the frozen food in the garage freezer getting ruined by lightning last week and didn't realize until it started smelling like roadkill in the garage that you lost all your frozen food. It comes as a package, you plug it in, and then you leave Some time later, on a rainy afternoon, you hear a strange alarm sound in your living room and think, "what the heck is that?". As you approach the garage, it becomes more and more loud. And then it hits you all at once. I got to say, "Holy smokes!" I have an alarm going off in my freezer, so it works! This has occurred at least 4 times before the writing of this story and it's then that you realize just how many times it's happened. It was really expensive to get that plug alarm, but man, I've already saved my freezer five times already! Replacing all the frozen goodies will cost much more than the cost of the original purchase. I think the moral of the story is that although it is expensive, after having used it for several years, you will realize you made the right investment. This book is a good purchase if you can relate to my story above.

The quality of the product, the service, the delivery was superb
5/5

It was necessary to have this PFA to alert us when we were sleeping to the power going off on the oxygen concentrator. This manufacturer, Gizmo, is a model for providing customer service. Taking life or death into your own hands. Create a set- It was easy to set up Lisa can be reached at the number provided on the It was a simple matter to insert a 9V battery. Because of the arrangement of our home, the location of the bedroom, the curtains, and 83 decibels, I needed a louder alarm than the 102 decibel warning. One hundred and twenty years old. Engineer Peter was the person I spoke with. Upon receiving the unit, he instructed me to return it and he would upgrade it to an alarm of 108 decibels for $20. It was done, the unit works perfectly, and is installed with a higher decibel alarm. Please contact Lisa or Peter if you have any questions. Assist them promptly when you need them.

Alarm that makes a loud audible sound
5/5

This product was purchased for a stand up freezer in my garage because the GFI outlet we were using to plug it in would randomly trip, causing the freezer to shut off (not due to weather or a power outage). I. & Iii. It has happened too many times that I have lost all or most of the items stored inside, so I need an alarm that would sound when the outlet is tripped to prevent food spoilage. I am very pleased with this item so far. I have already been informed about an outlet tripping and a freezer running out and I have heard the alarm in the garage while I was letting the dogs out to the back yard & I am very happy with it. The outlet was able to be reset before any of the items inside could defrost.

Designed to be the safest and most reliable
5/5

researching a lot, I found, as other reviews say, that this is the best alarm clock. It may cost more, but, even the battery for the plenty loud alarm should last A freezer full of food that has unknowingly gone bad due to a power outage is a lot more expensive.
It takes only a couple of moments to remove four small screws and insert the It is obvious how well designed and well-organized "the box" is once you open it up. I made a call to the manufacturer because of something I did myself and found them to be extremely helpful. I simply purchased THE BEST piece of clothing that I have ever purchased.

This set consists of The instructions for setting up the PFA are not entirely clear, so it can be confusing
5/5

Nearly all of our property bordered by open spaces in a fire-prone area is administered by a conservancy. If your home is hit with a fire, especially while you're sleeping, fire, utility companies, and/or public safety officials may disrupt your electricity. If you set it up properly, the PFA can be lifesaving. you intend only to use the device for alarm purposes (and do not wish to plug anything into the 3-pin connector), you need only purchase an alarm device The plug receptacle is mounted on the outside of the PFA) If you plug in the device to a wall box, the PFA will flash red and sound an alarm. As a result of checking the battery, the outlet, etc. , it is all in order It is easy to fix this by following the directions that come with the unit, but the directions don't clearly explain the fix for the alarm that continues to sound after several minutes. In order to fix this, you simply need to remove the tiny red clip on the circuit board (on the inside of the device, opposite the battery holder) which will bypass (and disable) the three-cell battery. On the outer side of the PFA, there is a 3-prong plug receptacle. There is nothing left to do now. - If you have questions, you can call Lisa at Gizmo and she can guide you through the set-up Within three minutes, the PFA was up and running Contact us at (315) 225-0251.

There is a possibility that this device might save a life
5/5

The person who relies on 110v ac power to operate a piece of health equipment, such as breathing assistance, should plug that device into this device and plug this device into a wall outlet at night. If all is well you have nothing better than the silence that assures you that things are fine. A medical alarm will sound if all the electrical power is out or if the medical equipment is disconnected, alerting you or a nearby person to come to your aid. It is a well-designed alarm that provides a lot of benefits. A quality product, with some versatility thanks to the internal jumpers.

The quality of this unit is excellent
5/5

The following is my vengeance- The preservation alarm goes off. It is not safe for the freezer to be there with the GFI tripped, and I never noticed My smaller and cheaper alarm did not work well because it was not loud enough and did not last. Can I keep this record for most of the day if I am away? I would run out of battery power as soon as I arrived at home with the prior alarm. The one in question isn't the one here. I would definitely buy from them.

Despite a high quality product, the delivery experience was awful
3/5

It's a beautifully designed and engineered product that receives utterly poor and indifferent fulfillment from the We adopted a delivery method using the USPS which requires a signature. Delivery attempt slips are the only warning that will be left on your door if this delivery method is being used. They are terrible and should be avoided at all costs.
