T&T: Alarm Mute Control

[Frank Burrows]

I want to add a mute button to my existing engine alarm system. I have a 
hot wire from the gauge circuit connected to a loud bell and the ground is 
provided by temperature and oil pressure sensors. The bells are great as 
far as overcoming the engine noise but annoying while determining the exact 
issue causing the alarm.

I would like to keep the existing bells but provide some way to mute them 
but have them automatically reset after the alarm event. I have found piezo 
alarms that have a mute function but I like the bells because all the other 
alarms are piezo buzzers and its hard to tell what went off.

I know that I can get a panel from Front Panel Express but I can't find a 
circuit diagram.

Does anyone have a circuit diagram for a resettable mute button?
