C for confused dot come in my case lol

 

They both have Comms on board tho

 

The early pre dimension could be bought with or with comms onboard C for comms and as GG stated they didnt have any rear off wall tamper. Well that how we always order them.

Ok dude I remember the external coms devices and cards 

Just to note that the panel you're looking at on eBay is cheap for a reason. It's not new and looks like it has been a swap out.  That is, the installer has a fault on an installed system and they then switch out the PCB.  If you look at the PCB, you can see that the screw terminals have been used.  The PCB serial number doesn't match the box serial number and that's a classic sign of this type of swap out. I suspect that this panel will not boot, so if you do buy, don't put it on the wall without thoroughly testing it. I've had quite a  few people who have bought these returns - some are lucky and some not so. I think the seller is pretty decent though. He'll refund on return.  It's a bit of a hassle for the saving against buying the V7.03 CO48-D-E1 though! Especially the ones that come with Ethernet modules ?

Thanks for the interesting review on that, I will keep this in mind. 

My initial idea is to set up the system to play with, to see how 'difficult' is to be a security engineer. Hopefully, any system will be just fine for that?

Also, this is the main reason why it must be as cheap as possible.

coloured wires & basic DIY skills, shave a monkey & kick it though a branch of screwfix,

however if you can take a current reading your over qualified ?

 

The easy way to find out if your suitable for a job is to go & get one, if you can't do it or don't like find a different one
