they are currently in a way.... The issue is when we work on the layout though we have to turn on that fuse to run some tools. Most of the time we would like to walk in and out of the gate/lift bridge with out the alarm beeping. It is really Loud it was designed to chase people out of buildings during a fire. It is set on its maximum setting which is ok when trains are running it does get loud in there when there are 50+ people and 14 trains running.
Now i am thinking of taking a different route and you can tell me if it is doable. The goal is to silence the alarm when we are working on the layout. NOT to be confused with running on the layout. What my thought is using a two magnetic reed switches and set them to when a magnet is placed on them the circuit is open. Now i was thinking of placing them in two separate locations and making it so the alarm will only silence if both reed switches have magnets on them. Any thoughts if this is doable
