That's him, has he been campaigning on your doorstep too? 

no need here but I did think that tank was a bit ott

A scantronic 9100 to replace an old modern74 panel fully loaded with all doors, windows and pressure pads. Being new to the job I Yanked the old panel off in seconds flat, cutting off all the old cabling.

Now left with a dozen "too short" multicores sticking out of the wall and no idea what they did or where they went. Lesson learnt.

om some learn from that. Most don't and takeovers take days

this was the actual fire panel in service at a nursing home last time I was there in 2012. the nurse call wasn't much better.

So pre 1971? Quality.

Is this their access control system?

OK I will admit I didn't install this

 

Probably one of the oldest I've seen..... If the mouse hadn't moved in it would probably still work.

The owner was up for us repairing and using it, however we thought it easier to install a Euro 46

I used to have one of those panels. It was 6 zone instead of 4 zone.

Hi to all,

I was recently called to an address which seemed familiar, when i got there i remembered that it was my first installation as an engineer. The alarm panel was a Metal ADE Logic 4 ( for the newer engineers, yes they used to make them from metal......)

To my surprise it was still going strong.. no problems at all, just needed the back up battery changing.

No matter how much i tried, the couple refused to upgrade, all this new fangled technology is not for them...

I just wondered what is the other installers first panels were???

Great forum love reading the topics ...

My first panel was a Selmar Burglar Alarm from 1975.

The bell box was hammered black and only had a synachrome bell inside.

The panel was hammered black and a circuit test button with a green incandescent lamp under the button.

Next to the button there's a key switch with a red lamp under it. Round the side of the control unit was a flick switch and next to it was a xenon lamp.

It was very simple only having two relays , mains and a micro switch.
