There is a simpler way of having making the siren silent in Night Mode
Redefine Sound Type 11 \"Alternate Beep\" as \"Silent\"
Set Tone 1 Frequency = 0
This means the sound type is silent
In Siren Types, Siren Type 16, Night Armed change Siren Type from \"Armed2Beeps\" to the Silent Sound Type
There will be no sound from the speaker, keypad or any sound source
[color=\"red\"]Clarification
The method above is to disable the two beeps when the system is armed to Night Mode, not the arming beeps themselves
You can do the same for the Arming Beeps sound type - this will silence the beeps heard when arming but before the system is armed, but this wiill make arming beeps to AWAY silent as well

The big problem with this solution is that all sound is eliminated from the keypad, not just the arming beeps.
Therefore, if the alarm were to go off, we wouldn\'t hear it!
A sure-fire way to upset the neighbours me thinks

I know it\'s possible to do this... My installer briefly had this working. Unfortunately, unbeknown to me, he overwrote his changes and failed to give me the correct config file.

Use this file attached, see the Siren Types for Siren Type 3 - Arming tone and Siren Type 16 Night Armed set to Silent
Do a selective download to avoid changing other settings and see if that works
We have tested here

OK... I downloaded your file & did a selective upload on Siren Types and Sound Types. I have also done a system reset.
Unfortunately, I\'m still getting beeps through the keypad.

I hope you mean a Selective Download, not Upload. Selective Upload will trannfer from Comfort to PC

Apologies for being off-topic .....
\"I hope you mean a Selective Download, not Upload. Selective Upload will trannfer from Comfort to PC\"
This has long been a source of confusion and I always have to slow down and think about it!
I believe that this is the wrong way round. You DOWNLOAD from the Internet (or the remote device) TO your PC, and you UPLOAD from your PC to the Internet (or the remote device). Replace \"the Internet\" with \"Comfort\", being the remote device (remote from the PC), and you should be uploading to Comfort and downloading from Comfort.
OK, this is nit-picking, and I don\'t expect a change, but just couldn\'t resist the temptation, so just smile and ignore me!

Sorry, yes, I meant a selective download.
- jon_itmagic - 05-21-2008
Well. I\'ve re-tested the sample .CCL file and done a selective download, but the keypad beeps are still there.
Do you have any other suggestions I could try?
- admin - 05-22-2008
These question were posted yesterday, but for some reason did not get posted
What beeps did you hear and when exactly did you hear the beeps?
1- Slow beeps while arming to Night mode and no zones were open
2 - Fast beeps while arming yo Night Mode when zones were open
3 - 2 beeps when armed to Night Mode
4- Slow beeps while arming to Away mode and no zones were open
5- Fast beeps while arming to Away Mode when zones were open
6- 2 beeps when armed to Away Mode
