Adi Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Surely Texecom can do something about this, come on Mark see if you can do some tweaking. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
Nova-Security Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Increasing resistance will reduce load on the panel 61389[/snapback] 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. www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

Can you tell i am from the old school of alarm systems fitting relays to slove problems.???
newbec Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 Yes, but did you not read the post ? 61409[/snapback] 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.

Lot of thinking going on there.

whistle Posted July 19, 2005 Posted July 19, 2005 You cant beat the tranistorised relays the ones where you cut a diode to make in to a normal relay, RB007 i think.
Guest ckf Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 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! .

Guest ckf Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Stab in the dark...The confirmation tone may be classed as a service tone? 61346[/snapback] 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.
