dbeattie Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 a 17yr old optima, well done, now you have had very good value for money, but alas its time for a new one.......R.I.P. If it is"dead" then I would definetly go for another Optima. Just a bit more info. If I put in the default code no defaulting info allowed then the alarm appears to work?. However I can't change the default back to my old code. I hope this sounds like a new battery job only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barooga Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 If it is"dead" then I would definetly go for another Optima. Steady on, just because it's worked for 17 years does not mean you wil be getting another. It's given you good ervice but there a far better, and more modern panels out there you know. When you speak to the engineer, seek his advice. He will advise, hopefully, on what is right for the job based on his experience. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press PROG Enter old code (one that works) Press 8 (zone lights 1,2,3 & 4 come on) enter new code (system bleeps twice and returns to DAY as the panel has defaulted, the external sounder will be set for 20 mins, exit/entry will be 30 seconds, as others have said, it is worth getting the panel checked out, after all, its cost you nothing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
