Optima G3 Compact Programming

Featured Replies

I have just installed a G3 compact and am having a problem with one of the programming options.

Program 1 is set for all zones (1-6, 7+8 not used) with Z1 as final exit. This works OK.

I want to set Program 2 as a part set of zones 1-5 only for use at night. Z6 does not need to be active as it is the upstairs area.

I have done: <PROG> <ENG CODE> 2 1 then selected 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as the active zones then <RESET> <RESET> <RESET> <RESET>

When I set the system for program 2, zone 6 triggered in the middle of the night when someone got up to go to the loo!

Have I programmed this right or have I missed something?

Well, I've got a G3 too with a part-set for night use and at first glance that looks correct.

Are you sure you've set the program correctly when going to bed and not just defaulted to program 1?

I would suggest going through the programming again and test on Program 3 if that's not used. Deselect all zones and enable just one zone then test it to check you are doing it right. Going to be a bit noisy though, so warn the neighbours!

Also, do you need to change the entry/exit and inhibited zones on the night program?

I have checked it again and again and everything I have set looks OK.

The manual says that progs 2 & 3 are set exit mode disabled by default which is how it seems to be set, yet the exit bleeps run continuously if I enter <code> <prog> 2.

Any other ideas?

in program 2 & 3 you have to set an exit mode or the panel will always revert to prog 1 when arming

prog > eng code > prog > 2 > 6 > 1 > reset 4 times thatll work.

sorry if thats the case, but he started it :whistle: .

both as bad as each other lol

your grounded lol

lol

he did state he had the eng code tho, so no one could really use the info gained to crack his panel.

but my apologies i know what you mean.

thought you couldnt get programming information in the public forums

Why not, he has the manual and we've been discussing it for a while. It's about understanding how it works and setting it up properly...........
