connor2425 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Did a upgrade today and took out a old AFA Minerva panel with EMI logo at the bottom, oldest thing ive ever seen! blue fornt covers with bulbs inside for indicators. Anyone be able to identiy this and would there be any manuals for it? Ive identified most of the terminals inside but im interested to know whats what.

bagpuss_24 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have quite a few AFA / Minerva / AFA-Minerva / Thorn Manuals in my archive, from my days at Thorn. Even for some of the old 1960s "G-Type" kit too (doubt there are any of those still going)! Do you have a picture of the panel? It MAY be a "System 9000" or something.

alonso Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Bagpuss24 - any chance of you sending me any thorn/emi/Ada Minerva manuals you have via a private message? We have one of these old panels (4 zone) which keeps blowing bulbs every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Change the bulbs to neons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CerbNI Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Bagpuss24 - any chance of you sending me any thorn/emi/Ada Minerva manuals you have via a private message? We have one of these old panels (4 zone) which keeps blowing bulbs every 6 months. Think the bulbs are MES thread (or thereabouts) - you can get LED replacements for them but they probably work out around 10 years supply of the equivalent bulb!
