yeah i connected it in parralell with them am I meant to connect it somewhere else?, just in the optima compact 4 manual it says that you can connect an extra speaker to the speaker output aslong as its 16 ohms??

the speaker wasn't even working before i connected the internal extension one anyway, the speaker is a dual sound bomb. I also noticed that the terminal screw for the connection scb A was not tightening enough aswell then the cable just kept falling out. Could that maybe have been the cause??

Hi, Just installed an optima compact 4 the other day, finished the programming, and everything seemed to work fine then needed to finally remove the extension speaker to a different position, so I did this whilst in engineers mode. I had to add this as the speaker on the box itself only worked whilst this was connected. I then reconnected the speaker and firstly there was no sound inside at all no keypad beeps or setting beeps. Is this normal and is there something that could be causing this?? for any help in advance Also the control panel then seemed to lock up

thanks so much mate not sure if any1 else has had similar problems but the diagram in that manual really misled me, feel daft asking now

Sorry about this just im having difficulty understanding the manual, To set programme 1 do I need to press program then ####, then programme again. Then you get 3 LEDS flashing, LED 1 = used zones LED 2 = Timed Zones LED 3 = inhibited zone I then set zones 1-4 as used I set zone 1 as timed, with 20 seconds entry/exit, with exit mode timed I set none of the zones as inhibited Is this the correct way to do it? Also i cant find anything in the manual where it shows how to select which programme set you are programming, any ideas on this aswell, thanks so much for helping me here by the way

Hi, Thanks for your reply when you say three set modes are you referring to the imediate zones, timed zone and inhibited zones?

Hi, Just reticently installed an optima compact for someone using existing wiring, Everything seems to work fine apart from the zones that I've set as intruder keep going into timed mode. I've set zone one only as timed, I've set the entry and exit time to 20 seconds which now works on all detectors, and I made sure that zones 3-4 are not set as inhabited or timed, and all in used zones but these zones still keep working the same as zone1? NB I used existing wiring from a previous install, but I did note locations and made a cable schedule. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this? matt
