Alarm query

[Graeme1422]

Hi I have a problem wth my Optima XL 6 alarm. We had a power cut whereby, after the power came back on the only light showing on the diplay, is the power on LED. The alarm no longer works intems of allowing me to enter my code etc.

Can anyone help please as we do not have the manual

Thanks

check the standby battery

Gray. Sent you a message but not sure it got through.

When you say the system won't allow you to enter the code do you mean the keys beep when you press them but the number has no effect, or that the keys make no noise when pressed?

Is anybody there???????

hi,

Sorry I didn't reply. I meant that ther is 240v supply present (and no fuses blown) however when I press the keys, they make no noises.

I think the backup battery has failed, after replacing it do you know how to reset the system etc

Thanks

It's the PCB 12 volt fuse that Breezer is talking about - not the mains.

I would have been, but i didnt mention any fuses. I only mentioned the standby battery

I'm an intuitive sorta guy - I knew you'd say that next.

 

[breezer]

but you did assume correctly

RF: you look a bit peaky, mate.

Gra: If the panel has locked out, you;ll need to reset to factory conditions. This involves removing the mains and battery supplies, then shorting out two terminals on the PCB before powering up again.

Which two terminals I'm not sure until you post a pic of the PCB. If you're still in need of a solution, that is.
