We have one in the office to test, although it seems to be faulty out of the box.. LOL tat.

faulty in which ay?

i actually have an early ProSys 40 at home with plastic keypad, (looks similar to some Tex RKPs imo). Risco were meant to release a firmware ugrade to V7 and make it more EN instead than bodged Yankee flavoured sofware - but i'm still waiting.

that said panels been fine, very like the Wisdom software and its a bit long winded when you need to acknowledge a fault like a Mains Fail abd stop leds flashing, but rock solid other than that and has ability for access control add-on's if combined systems are your thing

faulty in which ay?

it dosent work

note to O/P this is a 480 keypad, not what comes with a CP8L

Get your spend up and you get the 480 keypad with the plastic end station.

maybe, iirc ProSys keypads have to be 'learn't' by the panel after you 1st power up, there is an initialisation sequence you then go through.

i had the rep doing a demo here, even fooked it up

note to O/P - about £3.00 difference in price (trade). Both "entry level" panels and both have the same unusable operating system

get a 9651 and be done with it.

was I ever? Stuck with it for comms but domestics are eating 9651`s

Agreed it's fine for the money, but do you tend to get more false alarms, call outs and other problems more with the CP8?

ie, there is a trade-off between spending a few more quid and having something that's not going to fall apart after the 1 year warramty period.

Therefore, the question is how much more for the galaxay?

I will find this out and let you know.

Are all the kepads wireless or wired and does it matter?

(i'm not one who goes for looks but i go for performance .........)

the cp8 is stable i wouldnt worry about that. No decent pro installer would install something that wasnt.

If its performance then you will want a high end panel, they start from about £300-400 just for the panel

get a 9651 and be done with it.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, nice looking keypad as well.
