I have just found this answer, and very grateful to you for taking the time to answer queries. Just moved into a property with the same alarm. It started blaring out for no reason and I had to hunt down the manual and try to read the instructions with all the racket and feeling panic stricken. I may cut the power off as described in your answer as I am not convinced that it won't go off again. Do I have to turn the electricity off before taking off the panel and tampering with it? I have no torch and it is late evening. Grrrr.

hi chris
yes your alarm can be switched off optima models always fail in the end . to do this i will step to step instruct you
1.open the MAIN panel the tamper alarm may sound if this does take the cover off and enter your code and press reset
2. find where the mains connects and there should be a pull out fuse , then when you find it pull the fuse out
3.when you have done that now the panel should be on BATTERY back up disconnect the battery
4.now the panel should be completely dead
now chris if the bellbox outside starts to go off then you need to power back up if your code workes good if not these are default codes 9999 0123 if the bell does not go off your done and you shouldnt have any problems
chris YOU MUST keep the pull out fuse somewhere safe because if you loose it and you want to power up again you wont have any power
good luck chris
let me know how it goes
