mattykhz Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 When I asked about the 595 I was told I wouldn't need it, it's a metal case etc. Is the difference between a grade 2 and grade 3 worth it? As I am guessing that is all the difference is really between the CPX and 595 control panels. Are door contacts worthwhile or detectors fine on their own? I guess I may get different answers from different installers but want to do things right first time instead of wishing I did things differently later on.

mattykhz Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Doing a bit more digging it seems the CPX does everything In eed and at half the price of the 490. Don't know how much more the 595 is but it seems that the extra money just goes into capability of more zones. If the CPX has dialler, remote capability etc then other than looks I do not see why it would be worth going to the 490 as they are both Grade 2 aren't they? There isn't anything I am missing is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going by internet pricing of CP not whole install so: http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog...d71c18be5297731 compared to: http://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog...roducts_id=1386 But then that is only example can see on pricing online so don't know if I am comparing right. But if the only difference would be in the cost of the CP as I presume fitting is the same cost for either CP, I would prefer something that isn't ugly and that offers me expansion later on, especially wirelessly if there is ever a need to add door or window contacts in addition to the detectors. As I have only completed yesterday it is only now that I can let peopel around to survey so will get surveys done. I guess I could save money if all wiring is in by buying and installing myself and then get a commisioning done but doubt it would save that much.
