Accenta or Veritas


Gabs

Recommended Posts

What do you prefer for ease of use, instillation and build quality, Veritas or Accenta G4 and what would you rather install?

 

Also, has the Logic 6 been discontinued? I can't seem to find one of them, or a simple set reader anymore. Seems a bit weird, I would have thought that they were two very popular products.

I don't think the 6 took off. After all, it was essentially a bodge on top of an existing, ageing panel.

 

Our local TLC Direct still had stock until last year IIRC. Must have been an arse to prog. http://www.responseelectronics.com/downloads/1364919803Logic_Six_Install.pdf

 

Not an entirely stupid idea though - and not entirely unlike Guardall's prox arming station. Although with that at least there was an engineer keypad and full UDL.

 

 

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

I wouldn't bother fitting either any more but would choose Veritas out of your options.

 

Strange, I didn't notice, I think ADE or Honeywell should add a Prox feature to the Accenta keypads. Ah, that is what I thought. I also think that the Veritas LCD keypad is better looking than the LCD Accenta keypad.

Ah, do you mean the Optima, or Logic 4 as the ageing panel it took over?  Yeah, I can see how hard these must be to program. I always thought that they'd be good for people who suffered memory loss, or weren't able to use a keypad.

Or you could just install virtually any other system with a prox keypad!

 

Texe at least allows you to remove virtually everything from a users menu so with the 'right' (or wrong) fob you can do nothing other than autoset and unset, just like the Logic 6.

Another feature that was copied from the Menvier / Scantronic EN Platform range I believe, same team wasn't it?

Ha, I guess. I'd probably end up going for a Castle Care Tech panel in my home, when I'm older. So, ADE copied from Scantronic? Naughty of them. Do Menvier still make wired panels?

The veritas would be our choice.  It's what we / our sparks fit in the new builds, it's normally what the builder specs with a white bell cover.... No free advertising there.

 

That's is a shame, I would insist to have my logo put on a bell box, if I installed. Always good to get some free Advertising in! :)

With so many systems why bother with any of those , Veritas maybe best but it's in the dark ages now , and fitted by mostly sparkes as above

 

If you could choose from any in the world, what would you choose to install? Panel, PIRs and bell box? ;)
