Panda Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 HI, Does anyone know where I can get an engineer to come certify and maintain this system? Cheers Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43281-abacus-614/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think you might find an engineer willing to certify it dead, but unless it has been continuously serviced for the last few years I think a basic service is all most will offer, and be prepared for the fact that the majority will quite correctly recommend an upgrade. Where abouts in the country are you located? So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43281-abacus-614/#findComment-491113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Its an old system but there are still quite a lot of them out there. Where are you if you are Sussex or close to Sussex, we can look after it for you As stuart says assuming it is serviceable Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43281-abacus-614/#findComment-491114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Agreed, I suppose it's one of the better / more advanced old ones, I'm not saying it's binworthy regardless but most of the plastic versions of Abacus really are on their last legs PSU-wise, the ones I see anyway.

james.wilson Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It would make sense to upgrade but if well maintained can function for 20 years + but its probably older than that already securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

datadiffusion Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) This is it, I was reminded this morning I've been an Amazon customer for 20 years, it's probably older than you/the poster think 31 minutes ago, al-yeti said: You might have killed the post off truth kills man Edited November 22, 2019 by datadiffusion So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43281-abacus-614/#findComment-491120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

datadiffusion Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I think it depends as I am certain you could just about still buy them with the newer white 'no flap' keypad and optional 16 zone board (9800+) in 2000, but probably not long after that. Either way, 20 yrs+, at best. Am I right in thinking the above Abacus supported wireless natively?

No , wireless was an add on later , messy in my opinion , think H still services some lol Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/43281-abacus-614/#findComment-491127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
