Does bed wetting alarm work with two night time wees

My son's 7 and we've just started using a bed wetting alarm at night loaned to us by the hospital contience clinic. It's becoming clear that he's weeing roughly every 4 hours. So he goes to the toilet before bed then has two night wees 4 hours apart. I'm sure the continence nurse said something about more than one night time wee being an issue with this approach. Did I remember correctly? I can put a call in to speak to someone but I don't know how long it will take. We're both pretty tired after just a couple of nights and I need reassurance to carry on with this approach despite his 4-hour cycle.
