arfur mo Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks again for the advice Alan.For info, I have installed the new keypad (which says "ver. C" on it), and problem solved! No more flickering from this RKP with the prox connected and the RKP fuse in the main panel returned to 250mA. I am also returning the other keypad to Gardtec now, as even with a single prox. fitted to the 'new' keypad, the 'old' keypad is flickering badly! (also from Angus lol) on the bullet-in id did say later keypads would be modified, just some got released with a problem regs Alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

sd6446 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 typical I tell em what the problem is and how to mend it and Arfur gets the praise again - off in a huff Sorry - thank you too. You did indeed point out the problem. Sadly my first point of contact at Gardtec led me off in the wrong direction initially. Now, is there anyone else out there who wants a 'thanks'?

Mavrick_001 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Think Gardtec are stupid for supplying cp8l & cpx's to joe public, a basic engineer panel but too many options and too much room for mistakes and problems for joe, also there giving out defaulting information, might be worth locking engineer codes into the gardtec's from now. I've voiced my concerns with them, don't think sales are over chuffed with things, we were promised that cpx would never be avalible to joe and here it is for sale in the likes of screwfix type books, now we get the 490 but how long before joe can buy theirself an 840 or something.... think Gardtec has opened a can of worms.... no wonder all us engineers can't get throught to tech support if people are on the phone asking "what's a door contact" CCTV Intruder Access Control Tony Hughes, Proprietor, TRADE MEMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anguscanplay Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 but how long before joe can buy theirself an 840 or something.... " they already can and theres plenty of them asking on the forum how to proggramme the things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavrick_001 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I think Gardtec will loose business if engineers can't get through... I mean it was bad enough before..... now this...... also the day will come when a panel change comes up and it's going to be "I can get this for xxx amount" or "that quote... I can get the same gear off the shelf from B&Q for CCTV Intruder Access Control Tony Hughes, Proprietor, TRADE MEMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
