Optima XM - can I do this?

[Chuckles1066]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, please bear with me!

We have the Optima XM system which has, over the past couple of days, sporadically (two or three occasions) sounded due to a tamper condition.

I don't have time to fully investigate until the middle of the week - as a short term fix, can I remove the two wires from the tamper terminals? Can I leave the terminals empty?

If not, there is a U shaped piece of metal attached to the panic alarm terminals and a spare one sat loose inside the control panel - can I use that in the tamper terminals?

TIA

yes you can link out the tamper terminal but it may be the bell tamper or panel lid at least it will prove a point.

Thanks for that, have done the necessary.

This might be another silly question - I turned the power off and disconnected the battery before doing any work......did I need to disconnect the battery?

Q. Did your outside sounder go off when all power was removed?

A. No.

Then it needs a new battery or full replacement.

Getting the same answers in the other forum then?

I thought they were sufficient there too.
