Guest aechlin Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Happy New Year all I seem to remember my parents had a Modern Alarms system fitted 20 so years ago. The end station was beigey brown in colour, 15 inch high, 12 inch wide and 4 inch deep. It had about 10 red illuminated push buttons going down the panel 4 inches from the left hand side and a round high security keyswitch (set/unset/bell test/silence if I can remember) 1/4 the way down on the right, again 4 inch in. I did have it to play with when they had //.National Installer.// in to upgrade (they soon had to pull that out as the hassle they gave my mother with maintainance etc). The zone cards all had a 4 pole change over relay on them, a couple on a pcb. I am for some reason intrigued as to who made ths panel - does anyone remember it? Also, the masses of 6 and 8 core cable that were all solid conductor........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selsport69 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Sounds like an old 72 series. If I am not mistaken. //.National Installer.// members may prove me wrong. Not sure who made it though. We took over a number of these and found them pretty reliable apart from the locks Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Electrics Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I think your right Selsport. I remember these when I was a kid. When My mums friend had hers I would always be around when The modern engineer would be servicing or repairing and asking for the old PCBs or any thing ells that he had in his van LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I believe the 72 to be manufactured by the Ash Group themselves. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually wired with solid links to avoid wiskers shorting to adjacent conections as they were very close. Great PSU and fun to wire and service,you could guarantee at least one screw would come loose between services and you would be lucky to find one with a complete set of fixing screws on their lids Practice in the morning, practice at night. Practice in the evening, until you get it right. Only make sure you are practising in the right way at the right time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yup then a 'clang' later you were lidding back up. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince8282 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Not so technical as that Whistle mate, I used the screw driver that I took the lid screws out with to reset em.
