viper Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 In the past ive worked on some **** panels including the old Ademco Vista range ie 4110 etc. The user and engineer menus were complete pants. The programming of zones etc were an absolute nightmare. Im yet to meet anyone who rated this panel. In fact this panel when knackered displays " I AM DEAD " on the LCD keypad. Which i must admit is the double dogs XXXXX. Thank **** its obselete Please stop trying to avoid the bad word filter, read the site rules before posting further.

CompostCORNER Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 40% of my last employers panels were Vista's. I got used to them and although I agree with the 'unfriendly' programming, it did have a good feature that allowed the alarm to be set whilst the premises were active if armed straight after coming out of engineer mode. Good for testing comms in a genuine situation. But panels even worse than the Vista, how about the Sterling 10? It had potential but looked awful and was difficult to program even with instructions. Oh, and if anyones ever come across those Optex panels with the 4 buttons arranged in a circle with A, B, C and D on them. Absolute nightmare to figure out. I've got the A4 sized install manual and still get a headache trying to program the things. Then theres the Rebel. An alarm system that was 3 wired. What was all that about then? I guess I could go on for ever. There are many 'unfriendly' panels out there but I'm being bias with all but the Vista. As the others I've mentioned, I've only ever briefly come across them. I'm sure theres some out there who regularly work on these panels and once gotten used to, may not be all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algon1 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Some panels were not that bad, but not that well thought out. Pyronix why make it so hard to get out of engineer?? Scan 9500 why make it so you have to go through the whole menu to get to where you want?? Regalsafe what was the button all about?? Omega why when the Castle 1250 was so stable?? Arun elite why was the first question asking if you wanted to default? and why didnt the mark 1 ask "are you sure" Those old dailers direct to the police why couldnt the needle reset itself ? my record player could!!
