    Default Silent partial Arm on NX12 panel

    Hello all,

    Anyone know if there is a way to silent partial arm on the NX panels?
    I read that you can press * exit before but this only silent exit for a full set.

    Do you want the sirens to be silent in partial mode? If so, I'd ask what the point is.

    When I press "partial" on my code pad I get no exit time sounds.

    When I press "on" on my code pad I get exit timer sounds.

    If this is what the OP is referring to I thought it was standard

    It is standard which is why I asked the question.

    Default Silent Exit Option

    This may help. It is an extra step every time you arm, but does not affect normal operations.

    The exit delay can be silenced by pressing [r]-[Exit] before arming the control panel, or when using the re-exit option. The exit
    delay can also be silenced permanently in all partitions.

    Yes that makes the code pad completely silent that will work in principal but as it will never make a sound, it will be problematic as will have no warning for entry until the sirens go off.

    I think that is suppost to be * Exit (not an 'r' key on the control panel).
    As mentioned on first post this silents any exit sound for a full set but doesn't silent the one second loud tone when doing a partial arm.

    Thanks for all your suggestions but it looks like I can't silents the keypad partial arm tone only.

    Put blutack over the sounder in the keypad to quieten it a little.

    Blutac, chewing gum or sticky tape

    or I just remembered I could use the function to raise lower the tone as some tones are as quieter than others ( * 0 1 raise 2- lower #).

    We had a Tech in TAS who thankfully moved to QLD , who for some reason now and then would cut the DAS K/P Piezos from the board, if he was wanting to make it silent he could have just programmed it
