OK So Aico, don't have to worry about interlinking as its only for a caravan, so will only be one. I would have gone for an Aico but thought I might as well asked. Thanks for your help

It has come to the time to replace our smoke alarm, but what one would you recommend? TIA.

Yeah they are pretty good for what they offer! Dont forget to add the VAT though... I made that mistake once

If you send them an e-mail they can sort somthing out for you. I am only 14 and only do installs for relatives and family freinds, so not much in terms of registered companies here. The sales team are great and will try to accommodate you as well as they can

Try Orisec, you'll soon change your mind

I have used a couple of euro minis. They are pretty good but I wouldn't fit them. Before I moved to Orisec the deltabell was my sounder of choice but the back light did get on my nerves. You could either choose one that only lights up half of the box or one that looks really weak.

Those bloody paragons are the devils work! Programming is an absolute nightmare and the key combinations are stupid. I have one in my collection, which I should really bin because the power supply is whacked. It runs when on batteries though so why not keep it? My god I have a problem...

If you shoot them an email I'm sure they could sort somthing for you

I have to say Orisec is pretty nice, personally I haven't had any issues but I have heard some bad comments about them from other people. (must be texecom making fake accounts!) I went on a tour of their factory almost a year ago now. Pretty impressive stuff. I got a sample bellbox a couple of months ago after opening an account. I have to say the backlighting is some of the best I've seen!

When the system was removed (not by me) apparently the previous installer was awful. No tamper monitoring on any devices including the bell and both P.I.Rs were stuck to the wall with double sided tape!

Oh yeah awful panels. Programming is a nightmare and key combinations are annoying.

Here are some less common 90's panels. A pyronix paragon and pyronix conqeror.

Always wondered what these were like. It seems by the button layout it could be based on the accenta / optima but could be somthing different. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honeywell-Glassbeak-Simulator-FG-701/273604891846?hash=item3fb41f54c6:g:aUcAAOSwhfRcD0iC And finally a Honeywell GlassBreak Simulator.
