Abstract: A vehicle alarm set signal level control that controls the volume of a car alarm and also the output level of the alarm setting or arming signal. The alarm volume is controlled by a frequency responsive circuit employing a silicon control rectifier in combination with a zener diode and a resistance that can be left in or removed from the circuit. Arming signal level control is comprised of a bypass circuit employing a transistor and a photo detector in combination with a potentiometer. The level of the output signal when setting the alarm is varied according to the amount of light available. In an optional embodiment for a car alarm using a low level signal both an arming signal setting signal level control and a visible output are used. The circuit employs a pulse rate controller providing an output through a protection circuit and a volume control to a piezoelectric tone generator.
