Newbie on here - am not an engineer, but have some experience in wiring, have installed a few systems successfully, though straightforward and simple ones.
Jut fitted a new Optima compact gen4 (LED and no external keypad) and as expected - in alarm state as soon as its powered up, so logic(?) i enter the default code - no change, try the engineers code - nothing - I am stuck with it.
no faults showing, not even tamper on cover, but just the red power LCD, as though armed/set I believe.
Have done both reset to factory settings and reset user codes procedures (link from SET to PA or TAMP respectively) - no change there.
set up 'as it arrived' apart from my 3 zones connected, maybe I've got a link in that shouldn't be or vice versa?
grateful for any ideas anyone?
