RichardT Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm trying to fix or replace components of a faulty 4-zone "Tate Fire and Security" fire panel. The panel now always registers "fire" on one of the zones. Internally, the main PCB is marked "1990 Securitech" and "T-S4/90". There are separate plug in cards for each of the 4 zones. It appears that it is one of the plug-in cards which is at fault as if I swap them round, it is always the same one that fails. Does anyone knows of a supplier of replacement "zone" cards? It appears that "Tate Fire and Security" have gone out of business (or perhaps they are now part of Tate Colson?) Ideally I would like to track down a circuit schematic to try to diagnose/fix the problem myself, though if anyone knows what is typically the source of such a failure, please reply. The zone card itself is a fairly small circuit with only 2 ICs: MC14011B (Quad 2-input NAND logic) and LM339 (Quad Voltage Comparator).

Pyromaniac Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I have just come across the exact same make and model, Did you ever find a manufacturer? I need the display PCB, if anyone has one. Alternatively I guess it means I may have a zone card for you, although I realise your post was a while back......

Lectrician Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I used to deal with Tate a good few years ago and had not realised they had gone squit. They did not manufacture. They re-branded many different manufacturers systems. What panel is it? It may be a conventional type which uses generic bases which can be used with oodles of other panels.

james.wilson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 securitech were made in redditch. Later became c&k securitech. Made fire panels until the mid 90's id say in redditch uk. Then got swallowed up c&k and production stopped, then bought by honeywell. Unless someone has an old one then id suggest its bin time. But to be fair 4 zone basic conventional fire panels are less than Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

MatonTE1 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) As said they us rebadged panels - currently they are using the Premier SX panels. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/94522/Securi...s&source=aw Throw a pic of it up and you might strike lucky if soeone has a spare card about,although personally I'd pull it as being obsolete and fit a new one (take your pick,as James says there's a shedload out there under the Edited March 5, 2009 by MatonTE1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specialist Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Hi: The post you replied to is some 10 years old now, so doubt you'll get a response. Panel schematics were never issued to the trade by manufacturers only Installer and user manuals, if your trying to repair the panel for re-use you could be leaving yourself open to prosecution if it fails in the event of a fire.
