Guest Adrian Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 ADE ran into some real bad quality control problems back in 2000/1. The company I worked for used only them for years befor that. since 2001 we have not used them once. What I would like to know is, has ADE inproved since then or do they still have problems. The panels we had problems with where The Optima (all types) Accenta 8, The Karizma plus and the Ultimate. Just about all of them. I have never used any of the G range of panels. So does anyone know if ADE are any better these days? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Engineer Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 The same happened at our place, we used to fit a lot of ADE equipment, but just like yourselves we havnt touched the stuff since 2001. ........................................................

dinefwr Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 There seems to be a problem with the RKP on the G3's, the ribbon wiring. I don't install them but had a few comment on them in my group. The ribbon wire on the remote breaks. I've also seen Dave reply to somebody else about it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ADAM Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Thanks for your comments, I have totally back tracked on my idea to get one of these ADE systems now. I'll arange for a pro to install my system. BUT............................................................................ Can you recommend any "Good" average home/domestic systems that I should be looking towards? Such as that as mentioned by Dave P - the TEXECOM VR8 KIT as at http://www.alertelectrical.com/html/produc...uct2.asp?ID=143 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simmo Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 I use the Pyronix Sterling 10 for most of my domestic installs, never had any problems at all, good value for money. I'll dig out a link when i get a moment. Simmo B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simmo Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 The link for Pyronix is http://www.pyronix.com/ go to products/control panels/sterling 10. It gives you all the specs etc. I believe kits are sold at http://www.cpc.co.uk or http://www.alertelectrical.com It's my preference although each installer has his favourite!

Guest Adrian Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Thanks for the link to cpc Simmo I have been wondering where I could get hold of the Sterling 10. Do you think their price is a fair one? or not Any one else got anything to say about this panel good or bad? Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simmo Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Adrian, The CPC price is reasonable, although you will have to stick VAT and delivery on. I get my stuff from Gardiners and its a few quid cheaper but the CPC price is good. Make sure you go for the LCD keypad worth the few quid extra. Its a doddle to install, and I've had no problems to date with any of my panels. Simmo B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simmo Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Unfortunately will not be going this year, so no freebies for me! I'll be impressed if you blag anything from Pyronix. Simmo B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
