xpertalarms Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Resurrecting an old thread here. We still look after quite a bit of iD. Still got several karizma plus panels going strong, we have heaps of spare biscuits and usually replace any dead panels with texecom and an iD expander. Yet to rewire any sites to EOL though, has anyone had to rewire any iD sites to EOL yet? Edited November 23, 2017 by xpertalarms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jms Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Dammit, I shouldn't have thrown mine away, been ripping out 5 to 6 old Id systems a month for well over 2 years. Would've been loaded by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you would, I think faced with fix an old system for lots of dosh, versus new system for lots of dosh, even the most tightest amongst us will go for the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jms Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Why did ID systems stop being installed? Not fitted one for 12-14 years, But never had any problems installing the old gardtec systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an upgrade for say comms, rewire/configure as much h/w as possible, then add wireless if required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 we go the hkc id route. But it means hardware upgrade. But due to the age of the system usually best anyway Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

But due to the age of the system usually best anyway I had trouble with one once , new cable tried different panel , but kept getting coms error on hkc ID , weird , it worked with wireless instead lol Although others worked with ID fine , I think newer stuff isn't as rigid as biscuits, and even using the common leg method on older galaxy boards , forget the model but mostly old ADT systems put well together , limited for upgrading though , not enough cores on each leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 id was designed for car use, short runs large cable etc. I've run hkc at over 200m leg length with 2 legs in the same 6 core due to 10 device limit Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
