How to disable entry beeps on Castle Euro Mini?

[OasisFan79]

We've got a Castle Care Tech Euro Mini alarm system. It's configured so that it emits entry delay countdown beeps if the hallway PIR is activated to give us time to disarm it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to delay the countdown beeps at all?

It doesn't matter too much about the beeps when we come through the front door to the hallway, but it would be really useful if we could disable them for when they come on when we walk downstairs each morning. It often wakes our little girl up really early when I go to work.

If it helps, when we exit the house and enable the alarm the exit beeps go off, but when we set it at night the exit beeps don't go off, which suggests that it is possible somehow to disable the entry beeps.

Cheers

The euromini can be programmed for a silent set function when you go to bed etc,but the entry timer speaker will always sound on entry to inform you to turn the alarm off.
You could program the sounder to a lower volume.

If the sounder could be programmed to a lower volume that would probably work great.

I have the engineers code. Is it a straightforward thing to change?

Yes go to volume control, and set your night set B ? To 1 in entry

Great thanks. Do you know what the process is to get into the engineers menu?

 

[Handymanjo]

Enter engineer code into keypad

 

[OasisFan79]

Ah is that all you have to do? Great will do this in a bit.

Appreciate your help with this mate.

I tried putting the engineer code but this just brings up the standard options user options.

 

[sparkymarka]

Did you just enter the engineer code ? Or press D first ?

 

[OasisFan79]

I tried both.

 

[sparkymarka]

Who installed the system ?

 

[Handymanjo]

Enter engineer code
Display shows set/unset
Press no until volume control
Press yes
You will now to in volume settings
Change has required
Then come out of engineer mode

A local alarm company installed it a couple of years ago.

If I enter what they told me was the engineer code after pressing d it just lets me scroll through with exactly the same options as if I'd entered the user code.

If I enter the engineer code from the home screen that shows the time etc it comes up with 'set areas' the same as it does if you enter the user code.

It seems to me that the code they gave us is just another user code.

You have the manager and user codes only , the alarm company would not give you the engineer code,you will have to contact them to get this setting changed .

 

[OasisFan79]

Ah right. I will contact them. I don't pay the annual maintenance though so I'll have to figure out a way to get them to give me the code.
