Gambo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Advice please! On a notifier addressable system (id 1000) which i believe is no longer manufactured, is it possible to change to another panel manufacturer and reuse any of the existing field devices?

Guest Thunderfingers Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Advice please! On a notifier addressable system (id 1000) which i believe is no longer manufactured, is it possible to change to another panel manufacturer and reuse any of the existing field devices? Are they System Sensor heads on it?Never get this round the right way but you can get System Sensor Heads,Honeywell Heads and Notifier heads whaich are all the same type of head but (this is the bit I get wrong!) the Honeywell one won't work with the other two but the Sys Sens and Notifier will. Not time for an upgrade throughout if it's an ID1000 though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambo Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think it is rumoured that notifier call points (only) will work with morley dimension panels. Can anyone verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thunderfingers Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 If you don't mind me asking are you inquiring as an engineer or a customer?You should know what type of heads are installed (as listed above) and from that you could get an answer.

L200 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 We changed this make of panel out some 3 years ago , we didn't have a problem at all , stuck in a Morley (Not Dimension) as we had cause and effect to do , but as the boys said beware the detectors , ours were a version called Ancon System Sensor. Ring the panel boys and they should be able to match the head off their working list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderfingers, the heads are system sensor manufacture (with notifier protocol). The client wishes to upgrade the system and is seeking other quotes. I know that if I replace the panel then I will have to replace all the heads, what I am unsure of is will I have to change the call points as well? Thunderfingers, I forgot to mention that I am not an ESD for Notifier and would therefore have to install other panel type.

How many loops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they support system sensor, but the system sensor head can come as at least 3 protocols - system sensor, notifier or m-ias and that is my dilemma, I want to know if the notifier call point works with the dimension panel when running system sensor protocol say. I will try tech support but like I say, we are not an ESD so I wont be holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley will only work with the system sensor if they are Notifier they can be problematic. I have tried a couple of Notifier devices and do work but not tried a full loop so hence my reservations on it Pete Peter Robinson Freelance M:07889038650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
