ChrisLancs Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 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?

sixwheeledbeast Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 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.
