Wendtone Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I have an optima compact alarm system which has stopped working. It just makes a clicking noise, non of the buttons function and the only light lit is the power light. The only way I can stop it is to disconnect it from the mains supply. Can anyone help me please?

norman Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 How old is the battery. most likely it's that that's dragging it down. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Wendtone Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Not sure Norman, my wife thinks it could be four ot five years. Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41228-optima-stopped-working/#findComment-462925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Have the battery replaced and voltages checked then power cycle it. Failing that it's likely to be faulty. Decent batteries only last 4-5 years in ideal environments Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41228-optima-stopped-working/#findComment-462928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
