If you are referring to the PS561 base, the alarm (and flashing lights) stop after ~ 4 minutes. At that time, the tripped zone LED will remain lit and the PS561 is ready and monitoring your sensors again.
If the source is an open window, then after 4minutes does that window open ???keep the alarm sounding? I suppose so, but it could bypass it?
