I have an Optima Compact G3. It was in the house already when we moved in back in 2006. It has worked fine, had to replace the battery about 10 years ago and it worked fine afterwards. A couple of months ago the tamper light came on and then none of the buttons on the keypad work. I...

Hi, had a look inside G4 Accenta/Optima panel and found all the blue tamper wires twisted together in one terminal and all the whites twisted together in the other? I thought they are meant to be wired in series. Has the builder Balfour Beatty wired it wrong? Also is the tamper circuit supposed...

With the Pyronix Enforcer WE v10 panel, I know it comes with Wi-Fi built in as standard, but if you get the GPRS SIM module, does it replace the "built in" Wi-Fi module or is it in addition to it? I.e. can you install the GPRS module in addition to what it comes with OR would you need the v11...

I moved into a house with a Euro mini alarm plus a pyronix v2 tel unit. Never had a problem with it, but we don’t actually use the alarm often. We came home to the internal speaker making a constant alarm and the main alarm panel showing error code 485 loss of Comms please wait. No buttons...
