We've just taken two 8136's over on the same site, both using a mix of IDIS lims and chips in the detectors, and I don't mean the sort you can put salt on

I have 8 sites with the 8136 installed and they are just terrible panels to work on. IDIS Lima failing then coming back randomly.. Mind you things have calmed down since the customer agreed to a site a day getting looked at. God knows who installed these but loose connections are everywhere. Resistors also found in panel on 2 sites!!

You mad?

decent panel to be fair..

Brutal panels tbh and one has 28 user codes FFS!

Well, they came along with a three Galaxy 520's, a Galaxy 96, two 9500's, a CD-95, a 9752 and an Optima so we didn't have much choice!

 

Had to do some alterations to one of 'em last Friday. Re-locate a DT, remove a PIR and swap an old RX-35 for a DT. Simple enough on any normal panel. Was extra careful when disconnecting the IDIS line but the stupid thing still ended up chucking a wobbler. Luckily it didn't wipe the IDIS programming as I didn't fancy unwiring 30/40 chips and taking them back to the panel to re-address. I'll be glad when the bloody things pack in (aslong as it's not at the weekend when I'm on call!)

Compared to what. A yale special from B&Q?

Hopefully it will make friends with a lightning storm sometime soon.
