Not convinced you're reading the replies correctly.
The LEDS are optional/not compulsory. But, if you have them on, they stay on, set or unset.
Their purpose is a bit of a gimmick, feelgood factor, that type of thing. Helps show in the dark that the premises have/pretends to have an alarm.
EWD (bellbox) leds are allowed to flash constantly.
What you don't do is have them indicate set or unset.
eg, only flashing when the panel is set.
The leds are seperate to the strobe, which can/is programmed for different options.
And therein lies one of the problems the inspectorates have brought on.We've covered this before.
They want people to do things their way and only their way. And people wonder why this industry is dying.
The problem is that, and it is entirely your call, you only release some information whilst alluding to other products (unnamed) either having problems or inferring that they do.
This is very misleading to the public in general and to those amongst us who are quick to castigate a product (or company) but then do a 360 degree turn based on something they read on the web without being able to validate the new 'facts'.
But is it illegal? No.
Is it factually incorrect? i'd say no because no specifics mentioned.
In effect, no different to the bull put out by any other company or business.
And therein lies the problem.Matt has formed a view that you did and duly posted.
He has form for castigating a product in preference to another even when he may not be in possession of all the facts.
Preference of one brand over another without starting why is not the same argument.
One of the problems with what he's doing is it doesn't give a true reflection of products in general.Mentioning one brand/product specifically as secure whilst suggesting others that remained unnamed gives those who don't understand a false view.
In effect, a potentially false but damaging reputation.
