    Yep long post takeover of Telecom by Moderns and post integration hence hexes and gals I suppose.

     

    For a very short time didn't they change all a number of former yellow Modern boxes & new installs to white hex's with 'ADT Modern' on them before realising the yellow was the best (or most recognisable) bit about it?

     

    It's interesting that the original US made Telecom panel doesn't support an external siren but then again why would it? They simply don't seem to use them in the US.

    Also even Chinese designed and produced DIY tat alarms such as the likes of Wickes and the butchered Visonic BT kits all had UK made bells or dummies (both Elmdene, who at the time still made in the UK)

    ADT bought modern 97 ish and a load of white hex with Adt modern were made(I’ve still got one somewhere)but not many were fitted, then thorn (tyco) bought Adt very soon after so the white hex got binned for a yellow hex with tam on it (thorn Adt modern) that never made it to press then it was decided to print the Adt logo on the yellow hex

    you could put an external siren in the original telecom panels but you needed to fit an external psu and use the trigger from the panel 

  2. They were made by advantor ,they did sent fire ,med and pa which complied after changes to the programming fire and med were a call to site there were 2 versions the 680 and 685 the later one was progd from its own rkp as it had a 2 segment display sounders were internal you needed a separate psu f you wanted an external siren used sia signalling ,I've got th manuals I'll try to upload

    Dont suppose you know what the PID terminals do?

    The pid connections are for connection to a pid(point interface device) bit like a galaxy rio ,used on very old ADT focus panels which were way ahead of their time back in the day

    No skill with Hikvision thats why its so popular, its all plug and play. Do you know how to back-focus a camera? ( i dont mean focus I mean back-focus) Do you know what any of the stuff in the OSD is for like what BLC stands for or HLC stands for, shutter speeds? Very few people installing cameras nowadays have any idea on what settings to use, Hik have taken all the skill away and now a ten year old can claim to be a CCTV expert

     

    He doesn't need too,that's like asking him to snap wire a door
