Does this have chime feature and does it have to be armed for it to work?

no chime, yes has to be armed, the home setting blocks out motion sensors and you have a panic button

There is no transformer provided. I had a traditional physical door chime and it works fine.

No. But you can move the receiver (where chime comes from) to wherever you need it. It's very portable.

It is mechanical. It uses flat metal bars for chimes instead of metal tubes though.Make sure you get the appropriate transformer or it may be weak on the single chime.

I do not know. However I do know that this thing eat up batteries like crazy. We barely used it a few times and it goes out of battery besides reception for it is not well either. I had to place the chime not more than 2 meters and the outside button we had to stick it to the door.

Maybe is defective cuz all you have to do is set the button on alarm, if the chime work, that means is installed in the rigth way. Make sure the alarm isnt on away mode

do not buy as mine was used or a refurbished or a customer return , plus very poor instructions as if idoes have a chime it does not state it as the instructions are very very very poor so take my advice and do not buy it as to me it is a rip off as i return it back for a full refund

Yes, it's easy and in the instructions that accompany the chime kit. I have it on our front door and as my wife is very hard of hearing I have three chimes that all ring at the same time from the same switch at the front door. The chimes are located throughout the house so there should be no "blind" spots for her when the bells ring.

It will chime then do again if u dont turn off. The alarm is very very touchy ours went off at 2:15 am thought someone was getting in our home but after a few nights came to find the large stone truck vibration shook knob enough to set it off

Mine wouldn't chime at all - even with new batteries. I had to send it back. Return was no problem. Money promptly refunded.

I have two, purchased at different times. I have had no problem hearing the chime with either one.

It's a quick chime, but it is loud. If you had the alarm setting on, yes, you'd lose your hearing and your mind if you let it run the whole time you were looking. But if you just have it on 'chime' you will have the quick chime notification (which is quite loud) but then it would be silent.

Yes but almost works with a line if sight. Meaning they have to almost see each other. Mine was used for an apartments porch. As i was on the first floor and wanted some warning if someone came on the porch itself. The alarms are quite loud. The chime sounds like a chime and the klaxon like a klaxon. Good luck with your purchase

No. If chime is turned on, the control panel will beep. If the alarm is armed then the siren will go off. But the contact itself makes no sound.

No, it is activated simply by pulling the pin connected to the unit by the neck pull cord. The only button on the unit is to activate the small flashlight. The other apparent button is a dummy, apparently for design only. The unit works easily and performs as advertised. Also, for in-house use only, consider an electronic doorbell which permits the user to press a button on the remote and trigger the door chime unit up to 200 feet away. Inexpensive units are also available on Amazon.

The chime uses two metal chimes and can be wired to only use one chime if you needed a secondary doorbell like a backdoor.
