Help with Optima XL6 alarm.

[bawbster]

Had a problem with my meter (burning,smoking)and had to get an emergency replacement, power was off for 3-4 hours and when switched back on the alarm panel was going mental. Switched if off a fuse. Now I don't have the manual for it or a code, previous owners had never used it either so no code from them.
Does anyone know how to get it back to factory settings so I can put in my own code and get the system up and running again. House is on the market, so hoping to get sorted.
cheers.

Try 0123 or google optima Xl6 manual for factory reset ....

Cheers managed to get manual for xl6, just different terminal numbers from above though. Only thing now though is the tamper light won't go out and keypad is locked. What is strange now is that if you walk past a PIR it shows on the alarm panel whereas it didn't before. I think the zones were omitted before and because I've rebooted the system they are unlocked now.

....no see note 6 ...on reset procedure

Should have mentioned that one of the PIR's is missing the front of it, showing the wires and terminal 13 (for reboot) didn't have a wire but looked like a staple connecting it to 14.

See the blue and yellow wires in TAMP remove them and fit a link ( like in the pa next to the tamp ) now fit lid and press reset ... if that works all good ...now put yellow and blue back in and remove the yellow in the detector with no lid and put it in the same terminal as the blue wire ! Press reset on panel , does the keypad now work ?

Got the 1st part and all good but 2nd part, i'm lost. Detector?

That with no cover ! that is probably causing the tamper fault !

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar, keyboard working, tamper light off and day button on. Will now get round to trying out the alarm in the next few days.
