Thats good to know but Honeywell give full download access to the installation manual for the Galaxy 2-20, but the Texecom installation manuals are not available. Are they included with the product?

Wouldn't want to get the alarm then have to scratch round for set-up information.

Texecom panels always used to come with excellent manuals, probably the best in the business but I haven't used one for a while so check before buying.

The Powermax is decent. They seem to have plenty of options detection wise and the one I installed has been sound. The Scanny 9751 hardwired panel is great and you can add either an 8 or 16 zone wireless expander to it. Had no problems with those either, but overall, if you can cable it, cable it.
