tomo Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 After a recent power cut my optima xm4 alarm showed 2 of the zone lights lit up as well as the power light....I have since been unable to reset the alarm back to day mode....I have tried removing the front cover and disconnecting the back up battery. None of this seem to work. I noticed though, on reconnecting the back up battery if i played around with the connection i got the lights to change and was hearing a faint sound. I then pushed the mains fuse back in and got the alarm to go off but was unable to reset, all buttons seem to be dead. It is now left with the zone light out and just the red power light lit up. can any one point me in the right direction ??

advancedprotection Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 it could be a number of problems by the sounds of it, i would reccomend that you give your local alarm engineer a call to carry out service on the alarm.

Alarm Protection Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The optimas go funny if they are not serviced with battery changes. I would reccommend you get an approved company to have a look and service the system. Phone around for at least 3 different quotes. !

As alreay said it could be a number of things, you say 'when i play with the connection' do u mean the battery cable? it could be the charging board that has gone on the panel. Its a funny old game........ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/18838-optima-alarm-problem/#findComment-164370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks for your help. Is the battery inside not just a secondry power supply to the mains in case of power cuts.
