datadiffusion Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 tongue! OP, please don't do that, as before you need a new battery, no question. Whether the charging circuit in the panel has been damaged is another matter. Either way the system is so old, and full LCD keypad based systems that at the time would have been unaffordable (i.e 9500) can now be had at for dinner-for-two prices, I'd recommend a change of panel. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37176-ade-optima-plus-2-8-zone-panel/page/2/#findComment-394106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Now now boys you both know where I was going with that statement Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37176-ade-optima-plus-2-8-zone-panel/page/2/#findComment-394108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 The battery is giving out about 4.5v, and the charger 14v (decimal something). I used a multimeter. I don't see how the system using LED instead of LCD can affect it's performance, as the modern equivalent is the Honeywell G4, and that is available in both options. The system belongs to the family, and we would like to see what/if the faults are, before any consideration is made about having a new panel. The battery is not connected. The system should work without a battery, as it is just for redundancy isn't it? We don't use the system much as the building is well occupied etc. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37176-ade-optima-plus-2-8-zone-panel/page/2/#findComment-394110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 There was a case tamper full alarm condition (including bell) whilst I was moving the PCB. It was in engineer mode. I had to cancel it with the user code, and couldn't reset or re-enter engineer mode until the lid was closed, and then start again.

morph Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Gemini, your not getting this. The battery is done, it needs to be replaced, before you do anything else.

Gemini Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Should the battery affect anything else though, or is it purely for the event of a complete mains failure?

MrHappy Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 OP, why pop around a local alarm co. after they've gone home.... I'm certain you'll find a better set alarm panel chucked their bin Mr Veritas God Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37176-ade-optima-plus-2-8-zone-panel/page/2/#findComment-394124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 I appreciate advice on here, but many posts appear to be sales pitches with "throw it away" type of answers. I like to prove that a product is fully deffective before anything gets disposed.
