Guest chris.tatt Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Hi all. Just a pointer in the right direction. I mainly install the Menvier range, but have hit a wall with this project. I look after a large site at which there is a mixture of panels, approx 70 in all. There is currently a system in place which tranmits all the alarm signals via a home made plc over a 2 wire rs485 network. This plc has causes me a few problems recently and the client wishes to remove it and fit a current standard system. I hoped I could have managed with the menvier range but the networks, even on the the ts2500 panels cannot manage the length of cable run. One part of the network is approx 1000Mtrs and another is 2500Mtrs using a few rs485 repeaters. Also the client wants a good pc recieving graphics package for the site. I have briefly looked at using the galaxy system and found a few notes about its rs485 capabilities but my knowledge of these panels are limited. Advice of which system would suit best is what I need. Thanks in advance. If more info is needed please ask. Chris Mids.
Guest linea Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 try using the europlex 3gs and get in touch with a company called cortech technologys for the graphics and integration of all panels its not cheap though
TSS Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 install galaxies, fit ethernet modules, use customers' lan to transmit alarm signals to galaxy alarm monitoring on a pc. no call costs and no impact on lan either, quickest transmission method if lots of things are going on at once! or, if they have their own site-wide phone system fit telecoms modules and set up to alarm monitor. call cost = zero There are various front end graphical interfaces with touch screen etc. or if that is too expensive, aritech do transport pc client software. Personally I do not like aritech but the transport pc package is quite good. TSS Communication is "A question asked, and an Opinion given." I offer mine to help you with yours.

bellman Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 I'm with alarmbloke on this, Galaxy and ethernet module seems the best solution, i'd never thought about the PABX solution though, nice one alarm bloke. You learn something new every day Regards Bellman Service Engineer and all round nice bloke ) The views above are mine and NOT those of my employer.

Guest Guest Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Lantronix do universal TCIP interfaces and then you can monitor over an existing data network then you can use a propritory monitoring software to decode the alarm signals and display the information as you want ( I will dig out the name in the office tomorrow) But the easier solution is the galaxy setup, as they have a working IP setup and monitoring solution of the shelf. This plc has causes me a few problems recently What problems are you having.Colin.

Chris Mids. 16780[/snapback] Chris, We (Menvier) now produce a TCP/IP interface that will work with any panel. If you tell me where you are based, Ill put you in touch with your local guy, Mick Mick Gates Regional Sales Manager- Intrusion Products Bosch Security www.boschsecurity.co.uk
