alterEGO Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 OK, i am the O/P and have sorted it out in about 4mins, mains off, open panel, disconnect battery, link two terminals after removing any wires in them (do not panic i will not say which two), replace battery, close panel, restore mains. It re-booted and i just had to set all the timers for bell and entry/exit time after resetting a new entry code. Not difficult and the instruction manual is available to download. lol, that was a waste of time. but atleast it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spider Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi, hope someone can help. A very brief power outage (less than a second) has caused my Optima XM panel to completely lock up. All the panel lights are lit and the buttons dont work at all. I think this problem requires a new back up battery which i have purchased, but then i need to do something inside the panel to reset it which i think involves connecting 2 terminals together briefly. Anybody know which terminals? Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Normally just powering the panel down mains & battery (install new battery) and then powering up should cure it, put the lid back on and press reset. The link you are refering too defaults the panel to factory settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arfur mo Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 waits for arfur to draw our attention to the kick start feature............ lol, tbh i never took to these panels, so only deal with one's that were installed by others (usually sparks ) but i knew about the mains before battery issue. this just seemed a very bad design issue to me. i don't need panels giving grief when clients takeover an old system which has been mains downed for an extended period, of for soe reason the power has been off for a while. who needs such mean calls? regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
