oldguy Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 May be as simple as this? I have a second keypad in the main bedroom, and i want to silence this keypad….can't see anything in the programming so do i just cut the wires to its internal speaker... I have a second keypad and a separate internal sounder downstairs…. Silencing the upstairs keypad is about not waking up the other half with the door chimes etc thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 What model alarm and keypad ?most have buzzers soldered on , so no not as simple as it at seem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybergibbons Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 The alarms I have don't allow it to be silenced, though some allow it to be turned down. The first thing I do to most alarms that I am testing is rip the sounder off. Normally a small screwdriver under the plastic casing will do, then remove the piezo disc.

norman Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'd never suggest ripping it off with a screwdriver, you risk damaging the board, either some tape or blutak to muffle it or perhaps desolder and remove.

PSE Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) There is no need to rip anything off If its a Honeywell Accenta, G3/G4 range or earlier, Remove the wire at the keypad from the terminal marked SOUND Voila, No tones whatsoever from this keypad Edited November 15, 2015 by PSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 First state model geezer before you try the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Model doesn't matter, As its Honeywell or ADE as it was back then, its not changed That works right back to the early Accenta 6 or 8 from early 2000 onwards, Audio is separate on its own core Edited November 15, 2015 by PSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I must have missed where we assume it's an old keypad and not a g2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSE Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 He's said he has looked at the manual for it and cant find it, So therefore if it was a G2, he would of seen the silent part set option, which is the only option to him on a G2 4 wire. The earlier Accenta's have NO option for a silent part set, The later G3 & G4 range do, and its documented in the manuals He said that there was nothing in the programming for a silent option, This indicate to me its not a G2 as its covered in programming Therefore I would assume that must be an older ADE Accenta 6 or 8, or a later Honeywell equivalent G3 or G4 range Either way, Dropping the Sound wire on an older ADE Accenta version or the later Honeywell G3 or G4 works as I stated above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
