Hello,
I have just cut completely through my alarm cable as I was removing the carpet in my upstairs bedroom.
The alarm went off - its quite old and says Optima Compact on the front panel.
Entering the code didn't stop it. Afer much panic I managed to expose all 6 wires on either side of the cut and twisted the corresponding colours together.
Hurrah, the alarm stopped.
I have 2 questions (a) its a flimsy repair and I wondered if I can buy anything to connect the wires together better (b) How do I turn the thing off when in tamper mode. PS: I have very little money and so DIY will have to do.
