luggsey Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Slightly hazy but when IAS got swallowed by Morley one of the former bigwigs decided to carry on making the panels. There was some controversy over who owned the rights to what and i think they had to redesign the power supply and a few other bits. The software is virtually the same as the old IAS bu twith a few quirks thrown in.Can't remember now but there is something strange with loop sounders... need to take up certain addresses, throws up weird faults when one goes wrong ? They do make a lot of "add ons" and strange little interfaces. Went to the offices in Medway a few years ago, remember we had a problem getting the software to work regarding up and down loads. Think we gave up in the end..... Upload download, don't remind me! RS232 failures, repeat panel failures due to 485 failure and the weird sounder addressing. I used to like the modules that turn a standard 24v bell into a loop bell, great for schools at the time! Could have been a market leader save for the 232/485 problems.... Software was called "Loader" wasn't it? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

L200 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Mark 2 Mercury , you will need a cherry keyboard once supplied by R.S Components , square connector front of panel , if its that panel and you cant get this QWERTY anymore you are mullered , same for pegasus I believe. Mark 3 Mercury , you can use the infer red remote , avaliable from Global in Rochester , function 2 is installation/auto learn option , simply toggle up or down to alter state , enter to action function 10 is text input , the panel is not a million miles away from a Trident which was a later version , speak to Global They are very helpful , ask for Martin.

wfds Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 IAS was brought out by Notifier(honeywell) who at the time brought Morley and merged the 2 companies. The PCBs were made in Portugal and some how this wasnt picked up in the deal so they continued to make panels. A couple of people who used to work for IAS hen went off and formed Global and basically made Trident, MLs and supported the IAS old panel brands as basically Honeywell brought the name and dumped the equipment. I have hard copies of all the manuals and tech lit for the IAS equipment some where as used to work for them. Its a querty kep board for Tridnet and ML and also the dodge hand held remote. Nasty.
