can the siren be disabled?

You are able to disable the siren and just use the lights. You can also control the loudness of the siren.

UPDATE:Craig, While I have not yet installed the Water Siren, I see no provision in the manual for disabling the 90db audible alarm. As Michael suggests, you could use duct tape, or you could stuff an old bucket with rags and invert it onto the Water Siren. From the manual, you could call Control Products Customer Service at 1-800-880-6000 and see if they have better advice or a product that better meets your needs. / Pete

Yes. It can be turned on or off. When it's on the anti-bark symbol comes on.

There is an on button on the bottom and while it is on, it is constant lights and sirens. Must be switched off to turn off.

Yes, you can disable the beep. there is a noise (fairly quiet) when the safe "unlocks" - just the noise of the bolt sliding back

I don't think so , the control pad controls the siren, now if you want to use a louder siren , you can hook into the alarm system , we ordered a larger siren thru fortress website , and it alerts between a 4 block radius . Good luck hope this helps.

Yes! That's what we do. Just turn down the volume button and do not enable the radio or other sounds (water, birds, etc)

There is a "home" function, that will sound, without activating the external, optional, siren. The built in tone is not very loud, if you were sleeping a few rooms over, it would not wake you. This is why the external siren is a must have, it is quite a bit louder, but honestly, for forty bucks, it is not very impressive, decible wise. This unit is only effective to alert people in the house, as far as hearing anything outside the home, it is not loud enough to scare off an intruder.If I was to buy again, I would look elsewhere.

Yes. The volume can be adjusted from mute to annoying loud. However, for proper installation, I recommend adding either the wired or wireless siren. The siren will only go off when the alarm has been triggered. This way the sound is audible to everyone outside.

The control pad siren is independent of the other sirens so the answer is yes. In fact, if someone is in my home, I don't want the control pad siren to go off because it will lead the person to the control pad.

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

I looked for the answer to your question in the manual. I don't see a setting for that type of silent mode. I was interested in this, too. So, I called AutoPage technical support and asked them if there was a setting for this. Unfortunately, there is not a setting to send an alert without lights and siren. There's is a silent mode for the siren but you would still have the lights flashing.`If you really wanted to, you could simply put an on off switch on the wire leading from the unit to your cars lighting. That would be easy and cheap. Plus if you for got to reset the light switch you could enable the siren remotely. Hope that helps.

There is an Alert setting that will sound a siren-like sound when there is a weather alert. Normally we turn ours off of that setting so we don't get constant alarms unless it's a BIG event or something has a high probability of occurring at night.

Hi I don't think so. I have this alarm also and I do not know any way to mute the alarm. Thanks for asking Frank

Yes. It is very easy to disable the audible alert, leaving just the vibration.

If you do not shut it off manually after the siren is activated, the siren will sound for a little over 1-minute for approximately 70-seconds and then shut itself off.

Hello, our signal makes ore of a "beep" noise. I would not call it a siren.
