Hi,

 

I have all my system up and running now, and it's great, but I have a couple of nagging issues which are annoying me now because I can't seem to sort them out...

 

1) I've played around with all sorts of volume controls and speaker options in a bid to quieten the thing down, but it doesn't seem to do what I want. It's just too loud in general. For instance, I have a PIR set to guard access by the keypad on part-arm, and so the countdown to disarm starts when we go downstairs and activate the PIR. All fine but the noise generated by it is just so jarring, especially with a sleeping young child upstairs. I've tried changing the volume of the keypad volume but it or any other volume doesn't seem to change things. I've tried taking the entry and exit tones off, but it still sounds. I think i got the volume down on the control panel, but it's not enough. I just want a nice, quiet reminder that it needs to be unarmed. It's bad enough to have to have to manually silent-arm at night (and it still chirps at the end of that!!).

 

2) I have set it up to chirp when the front door is opened when in an unarmed state. Am I right in thinking that the only options are for it to bleep/chirp 1/2/3 times? I would expect maybe something reoccuring/longer (although I probably couldn't bear the standard chirps much longer than that anyway, which moves us on to point 3....)

 

3) I've changed the tone to a cheep (which made it better than the default), but are they really the only chimes available? They are horrible!

 

4) Part-arm. The manual doesn't really go into any detail about part-arming in relation to the fact that it has three variations of it. How do you configure these (or even better, delete 2 and 3 so I don't have to pick one every time I part arm)?

 

Many thanks!!!!!

1) there is a volume control I think you probably haven't found the right one.

2) Yes 1, 2 or 3

3) Not sure what you mean there but yes probably.

4) You need to use part arm for lower exit tones, this is probably why you are having 1) in the first place. Configure in the Part Arm menu.

for the reply.

 

I thought I tried all the settings, I must admit.  There's a fair few of them.

 

I'll tinker around a bit more and then email Texecom if I can't sort it.

 

Regards,
