How Do I Disable Chimes on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?

You can disable chime on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 by accessing the Sound Settings Menu and then unchecking the box next to "All Chimes". This will disable the chimes for the system. It is also possible to turn off specific types of chimes on the panel, or the panel volume can be muted entirely.

On the IQ Panel 2, chimes can be adjusted for individual sensors or for the entire alarm system. To disable the chime for an individual sensor, its Chime Type should be set to "None".
