The burglary alarm sounder on the home security system is an audible and often times, piercing sound that emanates from the control panel when an intrusion or fire is detected.

With previous Honeywell systems there was only one way to disable the alarm sounder and that was to disconnect the wires through the back of the control panel. With the new Honeywell Lyric system, you can quiet, disable, or full audio the sounder through programming.

This video will show you how to enable, disable or quiet the burglary alarm sounder through your Lyric control panel.

To run these options, you first need to access the tools menu in programming using your installer code. Do not attempt to use your master code, as this will not allow the required access to the tools menu options.

From the tools menu, you will want to select Program and then the Sounder sub menu as the video will demonstrate for you.

We will cover the menu options in this sub menu in the video. The arm confirm option will alert you with a loud tone when you arm the system with the key fob. The Burglary Bell Timeout option will allow you to set how long the alarm sounder will ring for, in minute based duration.

The Burglary Alarm Sound option is new for the Lyric system. As our video will explain in detail, selecting this option to “No” will disable the alarm sounder speaker inside the control panel. In previous systems, setting this option to no did nothing and the panel would still alarm loudly.

You may want the alarm siren, especially to alert an intruder that your home is protected. However, there are instances when you may not want the location of the control panel known to an intruder through an audible alarm.

You may also need to test sensors or features that would normally sound the control panel alarm, and disabling it will allow you to run your tests without sounding the alarm from the control panel.

The simple toggle is all you need to do to disable the sounder alarm. Pressing once to toggle to no will deactivate the sounder and pressing a second time will toggle to yes, enabling the sounder alarm.

It is important to note that with the alarm sounder off the panel will still make an audible noise. However, as the video will demonstrate in detail, the alarm sounder does not alarm and only the voice feedback speaker will alarm.

This is a much quieter alarm, and will help prevent control panel location identification by an intruder, or to alleviate the piercing alarm while you run testing.
