This is a simple project just open apart the alarm and solder two wires between the battery and the reed switch and you're done, you can make the wires as long as you need.

When you close the circuit between the two wires the piezoelectric will buzzer teling that you have continuity.

Final Thoughts

This is a simple tool to make and although it's not the ideal tool it works great, and if you are testing a connection that it's trigger by a switch for exemple but they are far apart the loud speaker it's really easy to ear.
