A rkp + new 7Ah is it a 690 or 900 (with iD node) both will be fine

Ok, i'll stop being lazy and crash codes, replace battery, bell and service.

The 690 is a good, reliable panel - crash and reprogram. If you don't like Menvier, then Castle is the way to go for easy programming and general engineer-friendliness.

i am going to now, not that i don't like them, just wanted a gardtec for future remote service.

its my standard panel and would like to get most of my installs on them at some point.

although i looked a premier the other day and was tempted

imo it's got to make sense to establish on one maker of panel, and unless you get bad service or need a more sophisticated panel then stick to it where you can. even if your skipping what is another known good panel, perhaps just keep it as a spare for any other takeovers, as like buses you get one and three will follow along behind.

this way there is far less engineer training and less confusion caused by engineers being unfamiliar, so less mistakes and go backs, also keeps standby stocks carried by service engineer lower in the vehicles.

lol, sold one of the two crappy karizmas now, just gotta get rid of the other one

tbh the karizma +'s were really good panels imo, had that piggy back socket so if you needed to do say 20 or 30 flats, set one up, us copy chip and just drop it into all the other panels what a doddle and no pc needed.

pitty they never did that for the Ultimate

peronally i'd fit the G593/5 with expander, accepts either old or new biscuits (but not mixed). given the system is reliable just the keypad is tatty surely got to make sense to swap out the panel. and cables are easy as this way
