Featured Replies

Hi all hoping somebody can help me out as im baffled

The indoor storage in our boat club is installed with a optima xl6 and the building had a rewire about 6months ago

since then the alarm hasnt worked.As soon as mains power is turned on it just bleeps franticly and will not reset

batterys are new.

we have two of these systems in seperate building both with exactly same fault.

i dont know if somebody has fiddled with the panel when typing codes in as theres over 20 of us with acces to buildings!

all sensors work red light come on when theres movement

hope somebody can find time to help me as i also dont have a user manual

thanks

The panel has a nvm, but this doesn't guarantee iit will not lose its programming-have you tried the default user code?.

hi richard thanks for quick reply ive put default code in 0123 is that correct?

An NVM is a non-volatile memory chip. In theory this chip holds all the stored programming information in the event of power loss from both mains and battery. Sometimes the memory may be lost still though in the event of power and battery loss.

nope nothing happens only light that is on is green power one and its still screeming at me

Try other default codes, not sure what they are for this system. try ascending and descending consecutive numbers.

0123 is the default user code. I would suggest someone has changed the code or memory is corrupted.

ive tried alsorts of codes im starting to pull my hair out now

hi james i find it strange both systems aint working tho

............ and its still screeming at me

That's because you've been putting in code after code after code.

The panel is not seeing the correct 4 digit code, it's seeing a 8, 12, 16 etc etc code. Get the idea.

The panel thinks that someone is trying to overcome it by trying different codes, quite normal, they all do it.

Trick is to try 1, 2 or possibly 3 times, no more. Stop for a couple of minutes and then start again etc etc.

Remember to keep a record of all the different numbers you try, saves trying them twice, or more.

0 1 2 3 is the default code for your panel.

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
