Rulland

Morning all, I was grafting all weekend so had an early night yesterday!, and yes the comment was aimed at the 'cowboy' who installs Prems etc and knows naff all about them. Apologies if it seemed I was accusing-not my intent-and thanks guys for defending me. Richard.

Forum name 'Rulland',user/real name 'Richard' My apologies James,just thought it was easier for the op. Richard.

Sorry but if you aint used to real intruder kit you dont make the basic mistake of specifying more than 8 zones-cowboy!...........

OP wont have access to manuals, so here are the XM guides-one is the 'scanned',the other isn't!. Optima XM user Guide.pdf Optima XM user Instructions.pdf

Hi Al, Your diagnosis sounds correct-the panel will take any battery from a 1.2-6.0 Ah-proberably best to take the lid off and directly replace whats in there at the moment-obviously when you take the lid off it's going to go into tamper-just put your code in to shut it up-when you've put lid back on just reset the panel.
