I have an ADT Safewatch Pro 3000, it came with 2 keypads - a 6160 and a 6150. Both are nice and loud for key beeps, chimes and alarm trips, which is what I like. I just added a 3rd keypad, another 6150. It's programmed in and addressed and works just fine, but I can barely hear any of the sounds at all. If I put my ear a few inches away from the top left corner of the panel I can tell that the sounds are all "there" and making the right noises, but when I go to a normal distance (like a foot away) the piezo is practically inaudible. How can I make it louder? Where is the volume control?

Thanks,
-Bill

There is no volume control, you got a keypad with a dud piezo.
