Adi Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ive fitted loads of pyronix/castle kit, not one faulty item. This does not include the sack of **** sterling 10, which i am sure they are embarrassed about. But any of the modern kit is spot on. Quote I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

Adi Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 kx? KX, enforcer, euro mini and 46 Bells need a make over though Quote I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 We've ripped out loads of KX Dts due to FA's, they are garbage and not fit for anything other than a domestic room, so no advantage over a PIR. Replaced with iWise or Seimens. I dont think we've had a duff Enforcer, Euromini or Euro46 panel but have had a few LEDs fail on Castle keypads. I hear that they are now moving production back to the UK so hopefully quality will improve.

petrolhead Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've had the backlight go on a couple of enforcers and a couple of euro 46sm panels keel over, but nothing recently touch wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamAlarm Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The backlight is not a manufacturing problem it is a design and quality of component problem. This has been going on since pyronix brought out the blue lcd, so not new. And, if you notice now the backlights are defaulted to time-out, this is not because of a feature, but because the issue continues. I still get them failing. With the backlight going out, it saves the short life of the rip to fail after the warranty period. I have found that they do not solve problems, but hide them and then disguise this hidden fault by saying it is a new feature for the customers benefit. As for 50% rate fail, well a percentage is not really credible with low amounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Percentage is percentage imo, appreciated low amounts but that's also subjective, how many are you talking? Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say that, lol, just bought some DT's, don't usually use that many but was going to give them ago if my FA site has a spasm again. I thought the KX quad was ok, especially on the low setting. I was trying to stay away from risco, which siemens model? Quote I really can't be ar**** with it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) I can highly recommend the e-line Grade 2 (or 3) Dualtecs for FA prone sites I did a review a little while back - see the reviews section if you're want to find out more. Edited September 11, 2014 by datadiffusion Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
