Zak Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 We've installed a few due to their large wireless capacity. Did the first 3 without training. A few varied problems - that tech couldn't resolve for quite some time. The panel was quite new for them. We then had the training..... which is really product familiarisation, which will not help anyone with the issues we had (or an installation). We use the macro keys for acknowledging the fault.... otherwise it is a real PITA. We had problems with the signalling being received properly at the ARC on digi's. No such problem with Redcares. Plenty of room in the panel (I think one of our clients found one of his Chinese workers sleeping in one - before it was powered up of course). It is not so fantastic for a residential...have to press * key to make a silent set once it has started to set (no silent set option). And some other quirky programming nonsense that doesn't come to mind (.....can't have an e/e circuit on more than one partition..... and have it set without the main partition being on...).

j.paul Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 not sure if this can be overcome as need to look at the manual, but when not set display shows time and date along with the system name label', when set shows partition name no time and date so you could deduce the system is at least part armedregs alan Option 1 - 2 - 26 Blank Display There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

arfur mo Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Option 1 - 2 - 26 Blank Display thanks jp, will that make it blank until a code of high enough authorisation is inserted during the day? i also wondered what effect has it on a chimed zones being indicated by location when not set. regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

And if I ring tech support, please don't let it be the condescending one(you must have spoken to him). The older I get, the faster I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
