ADE Optima can't reset codes nor will internal sounder stop

I am all for keeping serviceable well maintained systems irrelevant of age. From the pictures I wouldn't be wasting time on that mess and want to be upgrading it.

You can't expect a cheap domestic onboard panel to work in a dusty/dirty environment for very long.

It also appears to have been lacking any maintenance with one of those batteries in and what's with the two woodscrews holding the transformer in...

James Wilson Said "When first powered up its in a test mode showing open circuits. Once you clear them all it will then go to rest / day mode.   One option is to remove all circuit wiring (marking up first and take a photo) then link out all to prove the panel. If the panel functions with all circuits, tampers etc closed then you have a base point to start from"

 

and that's your answer - it works, it worked for me.
