Guest 9651 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 hi, this is my first post, but i've been lurking here a while. just recently taken out 2 galaxy 8 panels (eol) from //.National Installer.// takeovers, which are now gathering dust in my shed. As a scantronic/menvier installer, are these panels any good for domestic work? can anybody send me installation and user manuals so i can have a play? i have pdf boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 9651 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 why do a takeover then take the panel out......... 23115[/snapback] calm down dear! we changed the panel for something we as a company deal with day to day, we know scantronic/menvier, ADE (not fitted any for 3 yrs though)panels inside out, and therefore can give a better service to the customer, we don't install or service ademco microtec panels just wondered what the galaxy 8 is like, i have no engineering info on them you used to give out manuals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemical Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 LMFAO..... took out a Galaxy and fitted what! I am sorry Sir.... Whilst servicing your BMW we had to change your car the engine to a Austin Allegro, because we don't understand it.

BUSTER Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Chemical If I was asked to takeover a system and the installed panel was not one that I was familiar with, I also would change the panel (no matter what was in it) to an equivelant that I and my engineer's would be confident in all aspects of it's use. There is nothing worse than an engineer turning out to a fault in the middle of the night and having to sit and read a manual before he touches it. Do you accept systems no matter what? .

As someone posted earlier, removing a Galaxy for any other panel is bordering on lunacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUSTER Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You can have all the training in the world but are you telling me that if your company has got several hundred installed panels made by one manufacturer and 2 galaxy's you would be able to remember all the programming options for the galaxy?

morph Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You can have all the training in the world but are you telling me that if your company has got several hundred installed panels made by one manufacturer and 2 galaxy's you would be able to remember all the programming options for the galaxy? I don't think so You only have to remember how to access the panel, you dont need to know every option. Or you could just have a programing sheet inside the panel. You can't honestly be saying that if a customer wants you take over their system you will change it automatically for a new panel, simply because you wont cross train your engineers. Come to think of it if they only know one panel doesn't that just make them fitters and not engineers? and if they get called out to a fault on a panel they don't know do they simply fit a new one rather than fault find?
