  1. They are all still available and any will work with enforcer but the inputs will not work on the enforcer so 068 to 069 are advised.

     

    and James, yes, the enforcer underneath is a Euro panel and support all the wired peripherals. In fact it can support 4 x 8 input ZEMs or even a ZEM32-WE making it a 66 input (64 wireless) panel. It can support the tag readers and output modules. 

  2. Hello. 

     

    Voice version of enforcer is in testing now. Possible trial version soon. PM me. The current one can send SMS via TAP services. To be honest the app version is better as it does not use TAP services which are dated, costly and unreliable. The app version offers push messages via GPRS, LAN or Wifi. Better overall. 

     

    And yes, you can wire a bell to it. Recommend to use low power or SCB mode and it will use one of the panel inputs for tamper. 

  3. The deltabell plus can be connected without dropping the panel below 12 hours but the deltabell X may tip it over the edge. But it is unlikely. In theory.

    The enforcer has 70mA spare power to allow for 12 standby. The plus draws 60mA. The X draws 90mA. But the X has a light sensor so only displays when dark. So on average the X draws less current than the plus. As long as the bell can see daylight.

  4. would an enforcer perform any better in that way than say a yale?

    and that's cheaper

    It is grade 2. It has a digi and a supervised bell. So it does the best it can at the grade. If the risk assessment thinks the hall is not the best location then there are options for it to be located elsewhere. So yes. It is better than yale.
  5. Pin 10 of the castle panels is defaulted as ATS Test. Connect that to the test pin of a Form 175 compliant communicator. To my knowledge at this time that is Dualcom or Redcare. If there is a path fault, the com triggeres the LF pin as normal. The panel triggers pin 10 in response. This is an instruction to the com. It is saying 'hi, I am a form 175 panel. What kind of path fail is this?' So now the com pulses the relay. The pattern of the pulse is different for single path or all path. So now the panel can display the correct fault on the keypad as an alert.

    As I recal the panel that can do this are Castle and Texecom. When I worked for Cooper Security Scantronic and Menvier also supported it. But I do not know if ION does.

    The other use we have for this pin is to trigger an all paths test. One hour before a scheduled automatic remote maintenance (ARM), the panel fires this pin. The com says 'I do not have a line fault, so I will test all paths'. One hour later the ARM message is sent to the ARM server. If any of the paths failed during the test, the panel will by now be in a line fault and therefore fail the service.

    Hope this helps.

  6. I did my apprenticeship at BT and they gave me a full set of technical tools. By far the best quality I have ever seen. I cherish those that I have left and last month found the No.1 screwdriver that has been with me for €$>~% years, lost when oblast moved. So tough I even used it as a drill bit once up a ladder on call and it didn't damage the blade. Amazing tools. Heaven knows what they make them from.

  7. I wrote that booklet and I think it helped a lot of people understand the basics of the new standards. I think help guides like this are essential when busy installers are faced with new standards. I was not happy when the marketing department put a picture of me in it ;) 

     

    yes, tamper must have it's own channel if using pins for fast format. 

     

    The question about path faults is not clear. What are you asking?
