Does she keep sending you cards from the local STI clinic?

We've done this one before.
Nearly had it as my bell when I restarted in '05
Discontinued soon after.
Very similar looking to Granley but, apparently, nothing to do with it.
IIRC the people who made those bells for them were a very small eng. firm rather than a security known brand name.
There was an absolute mint very late Securicor Granley bell sheltered in a Maccy D's drive through canopy near Bristol for years.
Turns out it actually WAS the active bell (I'd always though it was the dummy) as it has just been replaced

1/2 dozen Napco DT's & one of those nice internal SAB in the speaker case
Oh yeah I forgot they didn't do their own dualtechs did they?
I've still got two of their 'flat lobby' SABs with the totally translucent case, because you never know!

Interesting, either way the new one looks terrible, in comparison. Then again, customers do not care. I have the Mk II version, with a metal backplate and an Elmdene PCB mounted to it, dated 1992. I'd imagine that was made in the UK, but at the end of the day, I guess it is more economically viable to make them in China. I am surprised that there is no manufacturer mentioned on the moulding for the cover though. I can seee how they had a Eurobell in mind when designing this cover, shame that's not made today
Ah, that's yet another version you've got that I'd forgotten about!
That must fit in between the original Eurobell (as you say the modern and round Eurobell covers are 100% interchangeable) and the Elmdene 'economy' metal box and combined strobe version.
-
I think the timeline goes like this...
Original bell - no strobe at all, complete unit made by Scanny
"Mk II" - space for an optional strobe (cover elongated with a clear lens) which consisted of a separately supplied PCB that slots in (strobe PCB possibly not made by scanny)
"Mk III" - cover still made by scanny?? Possibly not, siren definately made by Elmdene, metal box with built in strobe. Also white models with 'ADT Modern' and Telecom Security branding (most Telecoms dummies). Also Sonitrol / Sentrol?
"Mk IV" - cover made by Elmdene, siren made by Bentel, an Italian division of ADT
Current bell - complete unit made by Elmdene in China, with matching battery dummy, and now also wireless model.

No, at the moment they are discharging prisoners at PJs age / level of criminality

Odd though wasn't it?
"Hello, welcome to Gardiner Technology , we've got Gardtec panels, Novagard bells, Gardtec PIRs, Gardiner Technology 1.5" screws... oh and, I know this won't interest you, we also sell DSC"

Domestic property of a certain risk - proper alarm with proper signalling, jewellery / watches Faberge eggs or whatever kept in safe of certain type.
AMCO, you appear to want something cheap, they appear to have no approval for any of their scope of works.
ADT ect..., if going to take days to fit , I assume over a grand just for the man hrs
Konnected, again looks cheap & cheerful,
Envisalink - looks cheap & cheerful...
DSC - I believe they've fully withdrawn for the UK for a number of years, I thought they where pants...
The out the box solution is texecom ect & control4 ect...
Wired alarm in a bigish house couple of grand, control4 much much dearer
I be happy to instruct any of my cleint's to do the wiring, however depend on who & what I may want paying to do so
DSC - so crap, I believe the Gardiner Technology shops were happy to sell them as the only other brand they sold to reassure their customers they were making the right choice with Gardtec

However I am looking for a system to discourage your average knuckle dragging crim rather than a sophisticated expert who can bypass anything.
In which case, dummy bellbox every time, for a perfect fit between price and ongoing maintainance liabilities. Plus no ugly controls to cover with a teatowel!
And I'd make it a knuckle dragger recognisable brand, e.g, Yale or ADT

FML, just bought this Scantronic curiosity...
Since it was never sold as anything else, gawd knows what they paid to have it developed.

If you're referring to my budget then you have no idea as I didn't even mention one!
Galaxy Dimension it is then ?

Just out of interest do they supply the black marker?

What I don't want to do is spend so much on kit to transfer water from where the roof / main butts are to the back garden veg patch that with replacing stuff I might as well of just paid for the water (I put a tap in at the back anyway)

I recommend aluminium cable for this.

TBF the whales could handle some real shite that somehow got into my engine bay on the boat (river water gets through the 1800s spec stuffing gland most boats still use aorund the prop)
and water / mud / trees / shite washes through the hatch covers.

Yeah I used to have a tiny £29.99 12V Whale on the boat for the engine bilge and was always pretty impressed what it could kick out.
I had a Whale Gulper (more like £100) for the shower and Kitchen (sink just too low for over the edge gravity waste) - at the boat show they demo it pumping lumps of sponge and bouncy balls in the water - and it works fine!!
33 minutes ago, norman said:Bought hundreds of Lowara sub pumps, these DOC pumps work well with grey water with very few failures providing the run dry is wired right.
Linked to a couple of high/low MS10B from RS they will give years of service, I might even have some left over and I'll check when I'm back in the office.
Slightly more than I expected - £190 top end or about right? (obviously buying 100s will be cheaper!)

Depends how clean the water is I'd say.

Actually having just seen the items in the picture, it would probably be because you don't have the bus powered wireless keypad reciever/transmitter!

^^ Whats the private meter for, the dungeon?
Yeah I remember those, we very occ. used them on flats where they didn't want anything outside at all, or for big houses outbuildings that sort of thing.
I had one of the matching SAB speakers left over for years, no idea why I kept it, finally used it on a commercial job a while back.
I can find a picture of the ones I've got (their buried) but they had the same guts in a very slim case, which was semi-translucent (it had a strobe). Internal use only.
