How do I turn the sound off on an Omega PS150?

When I press on a button or start the Pharos Omega unit a sound is played. How do I disable sound?

The Pharos IR Control provides screen sound control and this should be used to turn panel sounds off - firmware versions 2.1.0 or above produce sounds on the SmartPAD Panel. The Omega hub also produces system sounds, however a tool is not provided to turn this off at the moment.

Customers can use the following 3rd party tool to log onto the terminal and adjust the sound control file.

You can download the 3rd party tool (putty) using the following link:
