Please Help Me! Optima Xl Control Panel

[Vic Mackey]

Hi All,

 

I'm really hoping you can help me out. I've recently moved into a property and i've set the intruder alarm off. It's been going off for the past 4 hours!

 

I believe i've done this by cutting through a telephone extension wire that had something plugged into it

 

The alarm control panel is an Optima XL backlighting microprocesser and the front of the alarm is currently showing a green light next to the word day and a red light next to the word power (See image)

 

 

I do not know the code for the alarm, but I'm trying to get a hold of it

 

is anyone able to help me out stopping this?

you need the code to stop it, i doubt a telephone wire would cause a major issue so i guess you have a cut a wire thats part of the alarm

Try pressing ##REMOVED## then press reset twice, if not then try ##REMOVED## then press reset twice

And I am now in deep, deep trouble for giving that advice.

Does the keypad still work?

[Vic Mackey]

Keypad still works (well it's making a noise when i press buttons) and i've tried the two codes provided. Still no joy.

So is it still going off? And what does that mean, whats it doing exactly?

[miaren]

Try a combination of 0, 2 & 4 - looking at the state of the keypad...?

Assume he has been lynched by his neighbours?

You had two lights on last night, red indicated that there was a mains supply to the panel and green indicated that the panel was clear of faults. I don't know how you silenced the sounders, but look for a tamper light glowing or a zone light glowing now (although it may not have been present last night),It would be worth your while if you called out a bona fide security company to give the system a once over and thereafter arrange some type of maintenance contract, it shall cost you a few quid but it's worth it. First and foremost have them to change the standby battery for 'brand new' regardless of it's condition. Could you let us know what the current status is and whether the sounders simply timed themselves out. Suggest a re-set.
