honeywell tamper led flashing

[Lukethoma1985]

Hi all

Hope your all well.

Has anybody had a flashing tamper red led on a honeywell optima. I thought when you had a tamper fault its stays on and doesnt let you arm or disarm it. This one arm/disarms while the tamper lights flashing away. Ive not checked the tamper yet but will go back to test each one but didnt think it would be a tamper as it usually locks you out,
Any ideas
Thank you

Flashing tamper indicates, engineer reset is required. ....enter engineer code to clear.

I will do mate, i searched all over the net, all i could find was one reply saying it could be a service timer but dont think honeywell do the service timers on the optima

It can also mean that the panel is in engineers mode I think you just press the # button to reset

Tamper led not used in Programming mode

Tried the engineers code and it didnt work, tested the tampers and were fine, tested the batterys and were fine. I tried to test the outputs and nothing was working. The programming wasnt saving anything i put in so i think the box is kput.

Try a nvm reset, power down completely, short out nvm pins with a screwdriver, at whilst shorting power up with mains first, remove screwdriver, and all should be back to factory settings
