Hi this is Kofi from Ghana.Every body born in southern Ghana on friday is called Kofi.
I am building a burglar alarm system.I want to be able to silence the siren with a cancel/resettable switch or button.
Occasionally,birds trigger off a 'false alarm' i want to able silence the siren as quickly as possible to prevent nuisance to neighours with a cancel/resettable switch by the of toggle switch or button.
Question is how?

hi kofi,
Most alarms have a RESET button so that the alarm can be cancelled.

The method I use for false alarms is to have a low level alarm sound for say about 10seconds then the main loud alarm sound after that.
So when I get an alarm I can quickly check whats caused it and RESET it if required.

We would need to see your circuit diagram so that we can advise how to fit a RESET switch...
 
I am still buying the parts and not have the circuit diagram.
Can anyone help me with schematic and expalin.
thanks

There are many possible solutions, but in order to implement a "Silence"/"Reset" switch, you will need to have a schematic of the alarm system that you are going to use. If you can post it or a link, it should be easy to provide help.
