well everytime you connect power it is resetting alarm and yes it will keep doing this have you tried connecting it and then pressing lock or unlock on remote and if so make sure your remote antenna is plugged in some alarms require that or they will not recieve the signal.

i tried pressing lock and unlock, but it was not stopping it. The remote is working because the remote start part of the system is working fine. Is there any other possibilities? thanx alot...

Did you accidentally have the siren wire hooked up wrong ? Check the siren wire and make sure that you have it hooked up properly.

Just make sure that you have the siren (+) wire hooked up to the siren output wire on the alarm brain. Other possibilities would be that your unit is defective posted_image
