The IHC-200’s alarm cannot be disabled. Please understand that the maximum value of AH (Alarm High Humidity Set Value) setting can only be set up to 99%. Because the probe of the IHC-200 is not waterproof, if the humidity reaches 100%, the probe may be damaged. The maximum value of AH can be set to 99% which is also designed to protect the probe. ---

The alarm buzzing is really really annoying and upsets my neighbours. There has to be a better design or a way at least to quieter it? ---

Sorry, at present it can only be solved by setting the alarm range to the maximum. ---

The alarm on my IHC-200 is stuck on. I have the AH set to 99%, the AL set to 0%, and the current humidity is showing between those max/min values, so the alarm should not be on. Since there is no way to disable the alarm, I had to disconnect it. Any ideas? ---

May I know what the current humidity reading is? Is the alarm triggered AL or AH? If you unplug the IHC-200 and plug it in again, will it still trigger the alarm? ---

Current humidity is 37% Set is 50% AL 0% AH 99% I don’t know which alarm is triggering - it’s a solid unbroken high pitch tone. I unplugged it yesterday, plugged it back in today - my settings were retained, and the alarm is triggered. ---

Is the sound coming from the IHC-200 body or the socket? Could you please send a video of this problem to [support@inkbird.com](mailto:support@inkbird.com)? Normally, when an alarm is triggered it will display an alarm code. The video can help us to identify if there is a problem with the product. ---

I unplugged it overnight, plugged it in this morning, and the alarm is no longer triggering unexpectedly.
