    Optima Compact

    To power down a panel you would remove all power to the board , battery and mains.To power up just requires one of them , but I usually switch on the mains first , just in case the battery ( new or old ) has poor charge.Always take care around hazardous voltages.

    Entry/ Exit zones - I need to use PIR - See updated post

    I always put contacts on front and back doors , that way the alarm will not set with a door open.There are contacts for all kinds of doors , plus you can use the CHIME function with a contact but not with a pir.

    panel update

    Most obvious..be very careful around 240v , always isolate.I would also update the bell enclosure too , if that is 15 years old.When you remove the mains and battery , the outside bell should ring , as it should have a backup battery, the only way to silence this is to get the ladders out, or...

    Texecom Veritas R8 - cut through wire

    Dont worry about the "fibre" wire , its just a draw string.The alarm will not set if one of the zones are "open" or in fault.Have a look on your display when setting to confirm this.You have probably blown a fuse inside the main panel , most probably the AUX supply ( this powers the detectors...

    Accenta8 mini alarm

    After 8 years , if it has not had a service , then the first thing to check is the battery.If you feel confident to do this , you could open the end station (larger box) remove the battery connections , remove the mains fuse , wait for about 10 secs , turn mains on , and the alarm should come...

    Your battery is duff.Power the panel from the mains only , make sure it still works , check for a charge voltage at the battery leads , if all ok , get a replacement battery.
