do you know what gets me guys,why do people buy cheap crap to protect their homes,?i mean if you where a sky diver,would you buy your parachute from joe blogs in the market?or would you go to a specialist dealer?the market guy give you good deal,half price,you get to ten k feet,jump out,pull rip cord,you left with it in your paw,as you see the ground come up to meet you at 300 mph,now,i ask you,arnt you glad you saved a few £s by buying the cheap unit ??? you will leave a great impression for all to see,:-)

Had to see to one of them jobbies years ago,couldn't do owt with it, but some of the programming commands were very similar to the optima six zone apart from the default return method.

I remember because I was late for another job and in the end I wanted to put a hammer through it.That must of been nearly 20 years ago and never seen another,thank god,

And yes it was a pile of rubbish :D

No e-manno its not an old optima, Council's buy the panel's for council houses but there Horrible panels,cheap, Out of 47 years experience I've never come across one on a job, only seen one at my niece's house Never touched/played with one, cheap crap

If you've replaced the battery Then try stretching the Tamper spring in the panel, if that fails take the battery back get a new one, if that fails then it's days must be over

you could say " oh well it may be another tamper problem" but if it started after removing the panel lid then Its the panel tamper. Peace

Never heard of one.

Only advice I can give you is to trace and correct the tamper.
