    There was going to be a "BSIA" open protocol of sensors on a shared data bus or something ?

     

    They dont seam to have the power anymore to enforcer things, most of the manufactures have have somebody sat on a BS committee and make the regs to suit their panels.

     

    If they did manage to do something it would end up like the fire protocols, 3/4 that you can buy of the shelf which are not compatible with each other and the big firms tie it down to their own.

    There was also an issue with detectors which have to be mapped to the panel at G4 I believe, so a detector from manufacturer A would not work with manufacturer B's alarm panel because of the encrypted protocol exchange between the two.

     

     

    Only every company I have heard of that was developing a G4 detector that sit on the control panel data BUS was risco, but this was when the Grading first came out. Iam glad they didnt make one would have been a joke.

     

    Worked in a few banks where they have PACOM panels, and the detectors are still 1980s C+K dualtecs which must be wired EOL as they wont have any sort of data bus between the two. 

     

    Encrypted protocol wont happen in this country, unless a manufacturer who makes both panels and detectors does it, Thorn had encrypted RIOs for Galaxy think that the nearest anybody has got to it.

    There are no grade 4 IAS panels on the commercial off the shelf market in the UK.

     

    Grade 4 is only available to Government/Military who need an additional level of security.

     

    There are very few (like 2) grade 4 detectors - also not available as COTs

     

    Assume it is for signalling only or ask for a Threat and Risk Assessment that informs a G4 solution.

     

     

     

    PACOM ACHIEVES HIGHEST EUROPEAN SECURITY GRADE FOR INTRUSION DETECTION EN50131 GRADE 4 APPROVAL. PACOM SYSTEMS® are pleased to announce the 8002 Intelligent Field Controller and associated devices have been awarded EN50131 Grade 4 approval – the highest European standard for intruder alarm securityand signalling. 

     

    As for detectors Siemens do a grade 4 (never seen one )

     

    A grade 3 system correctly installed would surfice any building with ATS 4/5

     

    CPNI approved detectors are just as rare. 

     

    Just seen this is public so taken a lot out.

    Thanks for the interesting review on that, I will keep this in mind. 

    My initial idea is to set up the system to play with, to see how 'difficult' is to be a security engineer. Hopefully, any system will be just fine for that?

    Also, this is the main reason why it must be as cheap as possible. 

     

    Start with a scantronic 9651 / texecom veritas r8 / honeywell G4

    Shorrock and Acorn. Hmm, makes me recall some really old 2 zone key switch thing?

     

    Horrible tan colour front 

     

    Do remember having the instructions for them once

    I did fit an eol to solve the issue.  Just wondered if it was something I had missed in the programming. 

     

     

    Airitech need the 4K7 EOL if the zone isnt used, not like a Galaxy where you can spare it with nothing in the zone
