Back in the late 80's / early 90's.... Everybody & their dog would have used a 9800 in a commercial job, ADT or Shorrock, regional co's, independent co's, electrical contractors or private jobs Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabs Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Lots then, do they still make the 9800? I have only seen this type recently, the older 9800 keypads do look awful, though. The more modern ones look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The earliest accounts I can see (for free) are 1995, turnover of 28 million back in 1988 ish - this was cutting edge Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabs Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 So they were very big then, I wonder why/when it declined. I guess it was, although they could have tried to make it more 'sleek' Were they the first microprocessor alarm panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) They brought out the Mosiac panel and lost loads of money and customers Edited April 20, 2019 by Nova-Security Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.

sixwheeledbeast Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Bentley Symphony was the first microprocessor IIRC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabs Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 So they were innovators. Was it CQR to make the first 'Modern' bell box? where everything is all in one neat little box? Or was it someone different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Cqr intrega was the 1st complete plastic Ewd I recall... Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabs Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Interesting, I am still trying to understand the circuitry inside a bell box, the idea of one using a microprocessor is interesting, I will try to design my own, easier than a panel. I think the Novagard is the only microprocessor controlled bell box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
