We have had an Optima Plus 2 alarm for quite a while, we have just added an extension to the house and wanted to add another keypad. We were sold an Accenta plus by the same place that we bought the alarm and they said that it would be easy to connect the two but we need to work out what the wiring connections are from the Optima to the keypad. Can anybody help?

is the old optima 2 plus rkp a 12core? with the first 2 zones going to the keypad?

if so i don't think the accenta rkp will work.

i would recommend you had the system upgraded though tbh, it is well out dated now.

just seen these on ebay

That 2nd eBay item listing also says:

"manuals readily availabe on the internet.

The alarm panel programming and codes have been defaulted to factory settings. Fully tested and working ok.

I am a qualified NACOSS approved alarm engineer, and I can fit this alarm in the calderdale area, at a reasonable cost."

You would think that the seller might obtain and include the manuals as well given he's a pro.......
