No different to buying a new mobile phone now or tv for it to be out of date 6 months later.  

 

If it was out of date then so be it.  But really i must bin this system because it out of date tac.  I might do that with all my stuff i have.  I chuck my samsung galaxy 7 in the bin now because it now out of date. And i bin my 4 k tv as there is a newer version. 

 

Fully understand the points you chaps have made on here. Pay my money make my choice.

 

Call out and a fix and a maintance contract or fix it myself and fit a new sensor. 

 

Life span of batteries in bell box and control panel will most likely be 7 years so they will need changing.  So may be in a few years time and i can afford to change the system i will. By that time the current best systems will to be out of date will they not?

Total blag 

 

 

If you don't mind me saying , no offence of course , but you know your choices 

I can see your point but it was a bottom end system then.

But as its been totally fault free for years then its worth sticking with.... oh wait

 

If it was anything else, fridge, telly etc what would you do?

alarms ain't consumer devices, their niche market low volume & expensive for old tech

 

the same doors contacts are still being sold, only the very early one are unavailable as they changed the mhz ?

 

ring risco & ask who'd they recommend locally 

 

 

don't its one way and cheap

Can he swap it for lightsys I thought they were ok? Some detectors might work with it

Nah think H said they were ok so.etime back or the lightsys or prosys or whatever they call it

I reckon I could sort this system in under an 1hr, should the device report a low battery with the next 28 days I'return & just charge for the device I have old types & new on the shelf.

 

The other topic with Everest abacus, again sorted within an 1hr,

 

Both could have fully comp contracts, however I probably start with wanting money for bells & batterys to put money in the pot

Thanks for your honest views, no offence taken by any.  I email a few local companies from your listing in my area for they advise on cost etc before i spend any thing on this system now

 

The correct actual system is a risco eurosec cpx with the standard eurosec key pad and the 8 zone wireless expander.   not that if it would make much odds from what you chaps have said on here about it.
