Howdy,

Well I have my Scantronic 9000 back up and running sweetly with the help of the engineer manual and a good clean/recondition/replace of sensors etc.

As this thing seems rock solid (they don't make them like this anymore), I would like to expand it's capabilities. I already have interfaced an autodialler to it but need some more features.

Ideally I would like to add some more zones to it. I does have the 5-8 expander card, but I would like to fit a 9174 8 circuit board. Also I am looking out for a realy card (not sure on the model number). I need this because I am designing an add on microprocessor with LCD display and ethernet connection for web/sms notifications )

So if any of you installers have some old scanny gear in the corner of your store rooms, than you could help me out. I may be ok on the relay board, as there is one on eBay. eBay does seem good for old bits as I have a spare PCB and remote keypad already from there.

Good luck was a great panel in its day but think i would swap it out for a new M800/2000 now many more features and parts avalable if you get a problem , but hay good luck.

Sure you mean a 9100. Great little panel.

Time to give up on it TBH. A M550 would be a good starter loads of features.

As stated a great panel, but nothing lasts forever.
