Hi, please could someone help my thought process on this one.
Most important to note - I am programming an Ultra 9000 using the engineer menu ( a UCM is a soon to be made upgrade)
I have a sensor in an outbuilding which is set up as a zone type five with an \'on\' response that causes the system (keypads) to chime in system off mode.
I would like to disable the chimes for, say 20 mins, by a single - or pair of keystrokes or some other means that does not requires a user sign in.
Alternatively it might be just as effective to reverse (turn off) the response on the zone but again only for a limited period.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation

Steve

Wait until you get your UCM and that will make programming a whole lot easier Smile

I\'d use the additional contact to run a response that starts a timer runing for the 20 minutes;

Do NullResponse After 1200 Seconds Using Timer01
(194,1,4,176,0,0, 255)

Then in the response for the outbuilding add a test to see if the timer is running;

If  SecurityMode = SecurityOff Then
    If Timer Timer01 = 0 Then
        Siren Chime
    End If
End If
(73,0, 115,6, 86,1, 115,2, 64,15, 255)

Think that should work
