Hi all

 

I have an Accenta 6 system, as pictured, works fine but when the alarm goes off - for example when walking in the house or walking downstairs in the morning it's extremely loud. So loud i've had neighbours at the bottom of the street ask me where that sound is coming from!

 

I've looked in the big box and there's a volume control button in there but turning it does nothing - sound stays the same. I've turned it every which way. Am I missing something? 

 

Thank you 

you could put a resistor in series on the speaker. I assume its the entry exit tones?

You could try removing the connection to the speaker , and just use the keypad tones...but you will loose high volume alerts and alarms.

Some numpty wired a sound bomb in the speaker terminals? Found that one a few times.

Loudspeakers are generally not too loud.

It could also be the alarm is programmed incorrectly and is full alarming on entry, the volume pot will do nothing for that.

As swb it's going into full alarm in part set

 

Or your full setting at night with no sensor upstairs anyway and triggering full alarm

Thanks for the replies everyone. SWB - this sounds exactly like what's happening. It's not the entry or exit tones - that changes with the volume control but it's the full alarm that's triggering. Any way to fix this ?

So you must have a PIR in hallway which needs it's setting changed, do you have engineer access?

No idea? So I’m guessing probably not? 

I did read something about checking the pulse count setting on the PIR and setting this to 3? 

 

Would that help?

No

 

The sensor that is activating needs programming correctly as swb has mentioned so that it starts the timer , 

 

It's better in this case you get an engineer to do it for you , it will be worth it and he can check the alarm for you same time connections battery charging and so on 

 

 

Hi Yeti

 

You're right. I'll get a pro in to sort it.

 

Cheers
