hpotter Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks for the info Satsuma, I'll check out those panels. I'd also shortlisted the Scantronics 9651 & 9751 as I'm looking for a hybrid panel so I'll do some comparisons between them (and others I've seen suggested on the forum). , Carl 9651 not a hybrid. 9751 ok, and up to 2km radio with the right bits!! Depends on what you want it all to do.

arfur mo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks for letting me know, I'll scrub the 9651 from the list. 2km should just above cover the house Thanks, I'll add it to the ever growing shortlist , Carl seems to me along with the 'tinnies' you need a fishing stoll while you contemplate. tbh due to the current En standards most modern alarm panels just like cars or washing machines are the same meat different gravy - until that is you get to the programming. so best youpick a panel you have some chance to understand because trust me, even very experience engineers often end up pulling their hair out when they step outside their 'comfort' zone to an unfamiliar panel. the Gardec cpx (aka 490 which is a metal case version) is absolutely excellent value for money nad has a good following amongst the trade having a simple form of a voice dialler (VoCom) included on board, but has to be said it is a litle obscure to understand, even for the trained let alone a novice regarding the radio section especially. as much as it pains me to say, the texecom is possibly your best choice from that point of view - well thats if you want it working by christmas eve -------2012 . regs alan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

CarlG Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Thanks guys, I really appreciate the advice and assistance. Good point about support Redbull, I'd (naively) assumed all companies would provide reasonable support to DIY installers so that's well worth knowing. , Carl Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/24413-panel-location/page/2/#findComment-207747 Share on other sites More sharing options...
