matt5595 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, Just reticently installed an optima compact for someone using existing wiring, Everything seems to work fine apart from the zones that I've set as intruder keep going into timed mode. I've set zone one only as timed, I've set the entry and exit time to 20 seconds which now works on all detectors, and I made sure that zones 3-4 are not set as inhabited or timed, and all in used zones but these zones still keep working the same as zone1? NB I used existing wiring from a previous install, but I did note locations and made a cable schedule. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this? matt Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36764-problems-with-optima-compact/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 id say your programming it wrong. There are 3 set modes that need changing and your probably changing the wrong one. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

matt5595 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi, Thanks for your reply when you say three set modes are you referring to the imediate zones, timed zone and inhibited zones?

james.wilson Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 no set programmes, 1, 2 and 3. You need to change 1 as that is the full set programme securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

matt5595 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sorry about this just im having difficulty understanding the manual, To set programme 1 do I need to press program then ####, then programme again. Then you get 3 LEDS flashing, LED 1 = used zones LED 2 = Timed Zones LED 3 = inhibited zone I then set zones 1-4 as used I set zone 1 as timed, with 20 seconds entry/exit, with exit mode timed I set none of the zones as inhibited Is this the correct way to do it? Also i cant find anything in the manual where it shows how to select which programme set you are programming, any ideas on this aswell, thanks so much for helping me here by the way Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36764-problems-with-optima-compact/#findComment-382636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rulland Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The three LEDs are for you to choose which set you wish to alter, ie led 1 is full set, 2 is part set, 3 is night set etc, then you go in to alter zones etc within that set.

whistle Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 awful panel, who ever designed the programming needs shooting. Agreed, I hate the things. In fact I would say a galaxy 2 or 9651 would be easier to program than this.
