SFB Solutions Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 So I had my meeting with the prospective client and its not a normal ADT System (I don't think) its a Networker TS790/900, turns out its around the 16 years old mark and the keypad is on its way out. My local supplier doesn't stock these units, anyone heard of them? I might end up quoting for a new equipment install utilising some existing wiring if I'm honest.

You give the impression that you are very new to the industry. If i were you i'd only takeover the RMV contract if it included updating the control panel to something you are familiar with. What equipment do you normally install? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply, the only panels I dealt with years ago were Galaxy when working for a large Installer. Yea I didn't think I would be able to find parts. Ive quoted for a strip out and renew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
