9651 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just dont fit one in a engineering workshop. We've got a food factory in a huge mill in Manchester. Originally loads of little alarms on site so we fitted a 2500, with mixture of iD and HW nodes. We had a leg that went into the onsite engineers workshop. Wired in screened, all fine and dandy................ until they stuck up the mig welder Lesson learnt with that, swapped out to HW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robstockley Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I have fitted loads of ID panels, never get any trouble and love the way they work. Conventional & EOL give me the hump......... Rob Stockley The Park Security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberprog Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Personally I prefer EOL all the way. Given with a galaxy you can wire 2 zones on 3 cores of a cable, it's easy enough to bring 4 zones to a single point with a pair left over for power on an 8-core Cable.

9651 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I have fitted loads of ID panels, never get any trouble and love the way they work. Conventional & EOL give me the hump......... Maybe, we do have loads out there still, but one or two a year do have a wobble from time to time, random tamps etc. If we suspect the panel, the customer has 3 options. Prem with a id expander, replace all old whit biscuits for iD +, rewire to eol if poss, or Gal with wireless. Spent too much time chasing random faults over the years, not worth the heartache.

james.wilson Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 well Honeywell own the rights for iD, and dont make an iD panel. So its not really a priority for them to make biscuits is it. They will just keep going up IMO until demand drops then they will end securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Alarmin Times Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 If its any help I've got a whole bag load of original 10mm ID contacts. I also have some 20mm and plug in biscuits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well it should be easy, fault here then it should be there and so on. But it depends on who installed it, how many bloody joints and soldered or not. Moisture was an issue. ( A few night clubs with open out fire doors and the contacts flush and hole exposed to the air as they had drilled thru the timber totally). As I said about Castle all they taught you was fault finding nothing on the panel (Virtually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 ( A few night clubs with open out fire doors and the contacts flush and hole exposed to the air as they had drilled thru the timber totally). not really an iD issue ? potted contact & biscuit in a JB & bob could have been your uncle ?

Oxo Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 As I said that was a fitting issue but the moisture made readings false and so you were heading off to the wrong ID device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Had 1 site that drove me crazy, throwing up faults all over the place. Turned out to be due to 2 biscuits fitted into unsealed external enclosures, ok not actually an ID fault but it would have been a lot easier to narrow it down on a DP or DEOL circuit.

Alarmin Times Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I installed my first ID system over 20 years ago, with an ADE Ultimate panel. I have been fitting ID (where appropriate) ever since. I have not experienced any particular issues with either performance or fault finding ID and can honestly say that it is no more or less reliable than either DP or EOL. The system installed in 1992 is still working absolutely fine with no issues (except when a squirrel chewed through a cable in the attic), was monitored with Police response from day 1 and still has response now. As a circuit monitoring technology I think ID is absolutely brilliant and will continue to install it until it becomes unavailable. The technology was originally invented (I believe) in America and was intended to provide switch monitoring for machines. As Honeywell now own the ADE brand which originally bought the rights to ID in the UK you rightly observe that they probably have little interest in it, but it is still probably earning them money as a number of other manufacturers took on ID and still produce equipment for it. I suspect that ID will still be around in one form or another for many years yet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I thought it was developed for use in cars. I don't think it will be around for long, if it could do mask etc then it would do longer. Addressable detectors and RF will take over imo securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Scotmod Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 A dedicated data line and RIO's kind of put paid to ID Biscuits I thought? You can do so much more for essentially running the same cable around site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
