Surely Texecom can do something about this, come on Mark see if you can do some tweaking.

Increasing resistance will reduce load on the panel

Yes, but did you not read the post ?

WHy not get some 1watt 8 or 16 ohm resistors wire them in series until you lower the tone, but make sure you dont over load the panel see what the max speaker drive is and dont got over that.

Why not fit the above inside the panel then fit a small relay off the bell output to put a N/C to pass the risistors in alarm condition = low tones in every day use and full volume in alarm.

Can you tell i am from the old school of alarm systems fitting relays to slove problems.???

I did, & not wanting to go off subject too much but, putting resistors in series with the speaker coil will increase the impedance of the circuit therefore reducing the load put on the speaker amplifier circuit. By reducing the load on the circuit, assuming it was within spec to begin with, there would be no danger of overloading the drive.

I appreciate your answer was probably more of a generic kind of "always check" sensible reply. No offence intended.

I thought of that the other day, but thought I'd have a play with the volumes on a 24 first.

Lot of thinking going on there.

Most versatile bit of kit that i carry around with me, modern peeps tend not to use them to much but i'd be lost without em.

You cant beat the tranistorised relays the ones where you cut a diode to make in to a normal relay, RB007 i think.

Thanks guys, this help is much appreciated.

We're booked in to see her again on Friday so I'll disable service tones first, but like the idea of the relay solution. We always have mini relays on hand!

Non taken, like a good banter.

Stab in the dark...

The confirmation tone may be classed as a service tone?

Bingo!

Many thanks. Disabling service tones has stopped the ARM confirmation tone.

It's made her happy now, although she's now asked how I turn down the tones when keys are pressed!

I give up!

A big thanks to everyone for their assistance.
