Guest widget Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm a girlie who needs some help!!! Don't know if anyone can help. I've an Optima XM alarm and recently I turned power off to fit a new light in Kitchen and when I turned power back on, the keypad to alarm has blown. I think I'd be ok fitting a new one if I knew where to get one from. Look forward to lots of help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTCAR Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 the keypad to alarm has blown. What is it doing now? it may just need a reset and a new battery, are any of the led indicators showing. The ADE Optima XM is now obsolete , you could replace it with a Optima Compact or Texecom 8C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest widget Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 red light on power and green light on day. the flat cable to the keypad looks burnt too? I'll see if i can changeb battery first. any idea how much i'd have to pay to get box replaced? - on a tight budget!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest widget Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 I'm based just north of Barnsley - are you in Wakefield? I've had a quote to replace system at £110 - using a veritas 8??? would be better if could just change battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RICHL Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 If the flat cable to the keypad is burnt then there's not much point in trying to fix the rest of it. £110 for a new panel is cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disappoint you but Finland is 338000 km2 large and is 1261 kilometres long. My fellows in north have average distance of 200 km to the customer.

FASTCAR Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Widget, If you read a few posts you will find out how to re-boot your panel , if it don't work , get the guy to swop the panel , but make sure he puts a new battery in too.There are some pictures in the gallery of the Veritas range.

bellman Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 We always go off topic, it's the british way of doing things. it'll drop back on course when the original poster asks another question, the rest is just idle chatter in the meantime Regards Bellman Service Engineer and all round nice bloke ) The views above are mine and NOT those of my employer.
