Giuseppe Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Hi, I have a ADE Optima Compact. the panel is making a continuous beep and only has the power light on. Tried pressing the keypad and doesnt seem to do anything. This started happening when I turned on the house mains power after changing a light switch. I did notice when the house mains power was off the security alarm outside triggered. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this? Kind regards Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43353-ade-optima-compact-keeps-beeping/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I replace the battery with a new one? or Shall I get an Engineer to service it?

Kind regards If your going to use it then yes , engineer should check it's power unit, replace battery, walk test check external internal sirens and make sure it works Better to have some kind of park these days , then you could Lao get a quote for a new model , just depends on you, be preventative Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43353-ade-optima-compact-keeps-beeping/#findComment-492211 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it turns out that is already what he did I reccomend for him to upgrade because the charging resistor is probably toast after being 10 years without service Thank you. This is my first time looking at a security panel and really appreciate your help. If its just the battery I can easily change it and measure its power unit also. I can take it into work and see what I can find if its just the charging resistor that is toasted or if the circuit board needs repairing . If not, ask one of the senior electronics technicians to have a look. Either way I dont mind getting a new panel and found a G4 panel and battery online.

In that case get a battery try it , see if it's charging ok, no need to take panel off wall unless it's fried in some way Maybe if you got more budget get a panel that can also do some wireless circuits and so on Scanteonic ion40 might do you great DIY panel ,, (init databasher) Edited December 17, 2019 by al-yeti Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43353-ade-optima-compact-keeps-beeping/#findComment-492214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
