Bunster Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help. I've just powered up my Optima Plus system after having to re-fix the control unit to the wall. It's been powered off for several months but it seems to have remembered my codes. I'm having trouble getting it back in service and need some help with a mysterious error code. Any help - or even a visit if you're not far from London - would be great. Thanks, Tim Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/42787-optima-plus-anyone-familiar-with-this-old-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunster Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Yes, flat grey buttons. Here's what happens: Power on - Immediately the internal sounder goes off Enter customer code - Display shows 'U' and the sounder now just beeps every 3 seconds Press Reset - Display now shows 'E' Enter Engineer Code - Display shows '6' and the Tamper LED lights. Beeping stops. That's as far as I can get. On my system Zone 6 is unused and the alarm and anti-tamper terminals are bridged. So I don't think the problem is a tamper at zone 6. One other thing - the battery was almost flat - down to 3 volts. Reading another earlier post, that may cause a problem? Anyway, all thoughts welcome!

sixwheeledbeast Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Stuck in engineers because the battery is faulty? IIRC the display should show nothing with the day light on if unset and clear. System needs checking to may sure the charging circuit isn't faulty otherwise it's just going to damage a fresh battery.
