Got an ADE Optima Compact alarm with an Accenta+ panel.

 

The power was switched off at the mains. When powered on again, the lights appear dim on both the panel and the box, but there is a persistent Pip or click. Not like your usual pip. Very much a clicking noise.

 

Any ideas?

Maybe electric arcing I would call someone in to power it down before it catches fire 

 

Or it could be speaker click 

 

No panic ......

Needs looking at, could be a number of things especially if it's not been serviced in a while.

I would power it down for now if the external sounder doesn't ring out.

Arcing normally happens when power is on not off?

 

OP when was the Battery changed?

No it just looked like an untidy mess, I just wanted to set it up and make sure every fob worked and every reader worked. Its all put away now its the one room I need to keep tidy we use it to demo stuff for customers.
