With very few exceptions (like the new Eaton ones, and ancient Risco ones although even they operate[d] in universal mode as well) sounders are 100% universal

 

My bad sorry - I meant branded ADT rapier generally found on honeywell akin to a branded chubb delta 6 on guardall.

 

Thanks for you opinions on what must seem like a really trivial subject - I've never given bells that much of a thought before!

 

Initially I'd selected the Chubb one as my forerunner, this was based on it being screen printed and a bit different (in my opinion). Taking all of your very welcome feedback onboard - I will be going with the Rapier. 

 

Thanks again!

Thanks lymebayalarms appreciate your opinion!

 

Tbh based on looks I quite like the rapier too - the only bit that puts me off is that I think it's counterfeit (albeit a good one) - the rapier isn't screen printed, the ADT logo is clearly a sticker - not sure how it would last in the elements.... although for all I know - maybe all ADT rapiers are branded with stickers!

Hi, 

 

I have the choice of a 10year old (but never installed) Chubb Delta 6 sounder or a 2 week old rapier g3s (not 100% on model) branded ADT. This will be mounted externally 'mid floor' 2 of a 3 storey house (i.e. no special protection for the elements and not directly under the eaves). 

 

Both boxes are complete and the delta 6 has the metal iinternal cover. 

 

The sounder will be fitted to a Galaxy Dimension 96 panel (don't need the zones, just the two rs485 buses and 'links' for home automation).

 

Obviously the ADT branded Rapier sounder is native to a Honeywell system.

 

What are your thoughts? A quick inspection shows open terminal block in the delta 6 vs enclosed connections on the rapier, conventional strobe on delta 6 vs LED strobe on rapier. 

 

Are burglars more scared of one box than the other

 

Thanks for your time

Adam
