Fair enough but can you explain why some programming is g3 and some Optima as in my last post?

Thanks but as I have said I reckon it’s a hybrid. The entry exit g3 programming will not work, it is original Optima whereas the g3 engineer code programming works.

Look Mr Happy if you havent got a Citadel XR2 manual just say so. Read my posts properly and most people should realise I’m not Mr Numpty. I said I have all the ADE manuals and that the programming is not exactly the same as any of them. It is a hybrid.

Thanks. I have all the ADE manuals and as I said it seems to be the same layout as the Accenta 8 ( 90% sure from memory of the XR2 looking at Accenta PCB layout ) with entry and exit time programming from the original Optima (1987 on ). The engineer code programming was the same as the G3 ( 8 for code change and 9 for engineer code ). As we have both said the flags from Accenta or G3 should sort out the Engineer Reset. Its not really a problem as such as the customer is happy but its out of my interest and for when I go back in the future to service it to change the programming. Of course I could work it out but a manual would be nice! I am trade and have been installing and maintaining systems through my own business for 31 years (user name should be a clue). I know it is against your rules to give out engineer manuals to non trade members of the forum but could you just tell me is you have this manual in your library? Thanks again

Haha I remember them

Sorry didn’t take a photo but I would say looking at the optima/accenta 8 manual it is the same. It’s not like the g3. The entry and exit timers are programmed like the original optima ie 1 or 2 from the engineer mode followed by 01 for 10 seconds etc but the engineer code etc goes in like the g3. I would guess the engineer reset option would be in the system flags like the accenta 8 but didn’t try this on site. Would be nice to have the manual to eliminate the trial and error. Thanks

Thanks but panel works fine and the customer would rather reset themselves with the engineer code than buy a new one. I just need the manual and it will be sorted out in seconds.

Hi, just been to a job today involving a Citadel XR2. Looks like an ADE Accenta/Optima. Managed eventually to default it to factory settings and program it (mostly) . The programming seems to be a mixture of original Optima (EE times) and some G3. Also is set to Engineer reset by default unless I’ve inadvertently done this or just defaulted codes only. Does anybody have a link for the Engineer Manual to save the detective work. Thanks
