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...

If you can do the basic of alarms (terminate devices correctly) iD was a nice stable technology & no more hassle than DP or EOL.

Done poorly a iD system is f'kin nightmare I have no experience with iD. Other than cost implications I can't see any benefit it offers an installer compared to a data line? Or was it just another way to skin a cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
