Disabling Exit Sounds on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 or IQ Panel 2 Plus

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to disable exit sounds on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 or Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. The IQ Panel 2 produces exit sounds after Arming Away. These sounds are designed to alert building occupants so that they know to vacate the premises as soon as possible. However, some users might find these sounds to be bothersome. Luckily, there are a few options for disabling exit sounds for the system.

Exit sounds represent a false alarm prevention tool. If a user Arms Away without realizing it, then there is a good chance that they will cause a false alarm. The IQ Panel 2 exit sounds are used to alert end users so that they realize the system is arming, and they need to either exit the building or cancel the arming session. But many users want to disable exit sounds so that way they do not disturb pets or cause noise while they exit. If that is the case, then exit sounds can be disabled.

One option for disabling exit sounds is to manually toggle the option for exit sounds when you go to Arm Away. This must be done every time you Arm Away if you never want the system to produce exit sounds. Remember, exit sounds are always enabled by default as a false alarm prevention tool. Some users may find it annoying to have to manually disable exit sounds every time they Arm Away.

A more extreme option is to unplug the speaker for the system. This will stop exit sounds, as well as all other sounds for the system. This includes alarm sounds. Many users will consider adding an external siren, like the Qolsys IQ Siren, so that their system will remain capable of producing alarm sounds. But the advantage to unplugging the speaker is that you will not need to manually select the option to disable exit sounds every time you want to Arm Away without having the system produce exit delay sounds.
