camman Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Gents, Can i please ask for your views as to which panels to use for medium intruder jobs (25-75 zones), at present we are using the Gardtec range - 816 metal/595 range, but to be honest they are not the most user friendly - especially carrying out a user reset after alarm. I have looked in my little black book of contacts and have been recommended Aritech Advisor CD95 or Galaxy. We want to use a panel that is not only engineer friendly but user friendly as well. Your views will be appreciated as i am looking to use one brand throughout all installs. I've just stumbled across this Forum and am impressed by the general help and info you can find. Regards James.
Guest anguscanplay Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Hi James I`m suprized with the comment on the gardtec ( we use it exclusivly ) easy enough to turn on , turn off, to reset ? but the galaxy gives me nightmares Angus ( ask FCE for a link to the trade application )

[the firm have used them for 10 yrs plus] although i do like the premier range, they have spent i bit more time on the plastics, which look much better then the gardtec IMO.

Guest Dave the alarm man Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I have looked in my little black book of contacts and have been recommended Aritech Advisor CD95 or Galaxy. would I be right in assuming the CD ungraded hence the ATS?
