Gabs Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the old alarm company ADE, like when they were founded? Or where they were based? I don't know much about them apart from the fact that they made the majority of alarms in UK homes today, and they weren't exactly high-end Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabs Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Just wondering, they seemed like such a good company, there is nothing about them on the internet, all the evidence that they ever existed is on here with their old adverts.

Gabs Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I know, I think it's a shame that they don't brand their own products anymore, they just say 'Honeywell Security' on them now I don't really know anything about them, so I was just wondering and trying to learn a bit more about this company. Their alarms seem ok, many of their old alarms still working now, I have 3 of their alarms, a Version 2 Concept 6, Optima XM and a brand new, unused Accenta 8.

9651 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) we used to fit all the range, logic 4 up to Ultimate. Back in the day the Karizma + was a cracking panel, and we still have lots under maint and comms. Looked after and correctly installed, they were/are very stable. Ultimate, hmmmm not as robust imo.

datadiffusion Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I saw an ADE ultimate RKP for the first time last year It was so big I assume it had just been left on the wall rather than make a mess removing, next to the working Gal keypad...

9651 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The ultimate could do anything, and could run two lines of iD. The only issue for me was the flakey build quality of the pcb itself. All of our Ultimates have long gone, but as mentioned above still have many K+ nocking about. Any that die or need upgrading go to Texe, either with 60iXD unit, or wireless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
