g4vjc Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ..... Sterling has the rights to the hard wired kit, FDP has the rights to the wireless kit....(could be the other way round) ... whoever you purchase from they have to buy in the appropriate kit from the other.... so there is a bit of a gentleman's agreement i believe as they have this symbiotic relationship... allegedly....We've done the training with both companies...... So which did you find better? I've only dealt with Sterling and found them fairly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esp-protocol Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 So which did you find better? I've only dealt with Sterling and found them fairly good. I think the technical boys at Sterling are good, although I don't believe they are as large a company as they sometimes allow you to believe... Barry Thompson at FDP is basically on his own but has a very good in depth knowledge and understanding of the protocol and seems to have his finger on the pulse a bit more more when it comes to interaction with Kentec and (soon to be Advanced) and hasn't let us down so far. One tip.... don't ever ever ever use the auto learn feature (Kentec are taking the option out of their software) as it can cause a world of immeasurable pain......

stevemiddleton Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Gardiners also sell the wireless kit now under the name Hy-fire!!!! They cant sell the argus Vega hardwired stuff, but do supply an Argus Vega protocol (Kentec) panel that you can run the loop from and support the TX/RX unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell box bob Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hi the hyfire range ADI are selling is the Sterling Stuff, we use it and buy directly from sterlings as a notifier dealer we are tied to using notifier panels with a translator unit from notifier(sterling unit badged up) and the detection from sterling they do sell a translator to work with kentec panels now but as esp-protocol says there is a bit of gentlemans agreement about selling there translators direct to people hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
