Power Return Alarm, Briidea Utility Power Back on Alert for Generator, Loud Siren with LED Indicator

Works well. Easy to install. Very loud signal.

Got this alarm to warn when power came back on in an interlocked main panel generator setup. Works very well for the task. When power comes back you will know it, the siren can be heard throughout the house. Being in the same room as it is quite literally deafening until you turn it off. Installation is simple. Mount the device near your panel. Run the antenna into the panel and wrap it tightly around one of the hot legs you want to monitor in you panel. Use a zip tie or electrical tape to hold it in place and tightly coiled. There is a sensitivity adjust if needed, but my setup works fine with the default setting.

Solid product. Works as expected. Alarm is pretty loud without waking the neighbors. The only issue I had and really loses a single star for it is I wish this thing had a magnet for the back. As it would make mounting on a metal breaker box super simple. Thankfully I had a 1.5" x 1.5" neodymium magnet that I could epoxy on the back. Now if I ever have to take the front of the box off I don't need to mess with unmounting something that has glue on the back or some 3M sticker.

Never really know when the power comes back on until now.very easy to hook up and it works great so glad I have this little gadget by my side when I need it

Very simple solution to use when you have lost power, have a manual generator running and want to know when the utility power has returned (NOTE: if you are not comfortable opening your breaker box, DO NOT attempt to install it yourself). The device runs on batteries and has a low battery indicator. It is a manual device so when i have a power failure and need to run my generator, i will make the switching changes on my electrical panel and then turn on the device while i'm running on my generator. when utility power returns, it blasts out a 100dB alarm that lets me know that it returned. I then turn off the device and switch back to utility power and turn off my generator.

Easy and safe to install. You never actually have to connect to or contact any live wires. A simple ground connection and wrap the inductive antenna on one of the main commercial power legs and you are in service. It works. All forms of power have an induction field around it and this is simply a sensor of that. No problem for a diyer with an understanding of what not to touch in a breaker box. It is LOUD. You can hear it over a generator just outside.

Does exactly what you but it for. Tested multiple times after install. I dont keep batteries in it until i need it. nice loud sound you can hear from inside the house.

The alarm installed and operated perfectly. We lost power after bedtime, got up, connected the generator, turned on the alarm and went back to bed. Several hours later (4) my phone seemed to have internet via LAN. I got up, went down 2 stories to find the alarm making a faint chirping sound, the power had ben restored. I'm sure i didn't hear the alarm over the generator. There is no use in fixing it without a way of sounding the alarm near my bedroom.

Works as intended. It's LOUD like a fire alarm. If you are not comfortable working inside an electrical panel you should definitely call an electrician. The installation is not for the average person.

Our power line is 220/240 VAC, 50 hz, while the item operates with 120 VAC, 60 hz

The instructions in the box say that the max voltage is 120V, although this had not been mentioned in the advert. I guess this is for the USA domestic market reasons. However, before returning it, I tried it on our 240V supply (the UK domestic voltage) and it worked fine. It’s easy to mount on the wall with the sticky pads supplied. I would have preferred to use screws but this would have required taking the unit apart to use the backplate holes. Once mounted on the wall, installation is very easy. Overall, a great little unit but the supplier could perhaps clarify in the advert that it works on 240V.

Installed without any issue. Power has not gone out since, so I cannot confirm sound or operation.

Does what it says on the tin. Easy to install, just wind the sensor wire around your mains line in, connect up the earth and away you go. Nice loud siren to warn you when the mains comes back online. Saves chewing through fuel on your generator for no reason. Quick delivery from the good ol' US of A.
