Guest RPM Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hi - I have recently moved into a house and inherited an ADE Optima XM6 panel which does not seem to work correctly. I have bought an ADE Compact G3 panel to replace the XM6 with, but ned the following help. Obviously, as soon as I power down the XM6 or remove anywires, the tamper circuit kicks in and sets off the external siren. I dont have an engineers manual, but presume some sore of mode is needed to be able to silence everything whilst I swap the wires over to the new panel. All/ any help appreciated!!

morph Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 In short You cant. Regardless of what you do at the panel end the external sounder will go off, you will need a ladder to disconnect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Not a good idea mate *QFA. You won't catch me up any ladders today. You might catch me working outside in a shed putting shelves up, but on a roof, no chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard (Stockport) As you're going to have to go up a ladder anyway, and don't have the siren manual..... Why not buy a new siren with manual (and new battery) and fit it properly to your new alarm? They're not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard (Stockport) Why not temporary connect a battery to the +ve and -ve supply and to the hold off wire/wires from the siren. UTC - The dawn of a new era !

They're not expensive. I actually did get a new siren, but was hoping to just fit the panel for the time being to replace the old non-working one. I was going to do the ladder thing in better weather. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Idea! What do you mean by the hold off wires? There are 6 wires going to the bell box; 2xStobe, 2xpower and 2 Tamper. How do I make the siren think the tamper is in place?
