If your SIXSiren is beeping, one of three things is happening – either it is going off due to a smoke/heat alarm, carbon monoxide alarm, or the battery is low. If the battery is low, and you are being alerted to it by the sensor chirping twice every 45 seconds, you will want to replace the batteries in the siren as soon as possible.
