I Am Installing A Fire Alarm System

[DirectFS]

Lol! No.

But it has to be one of the easiest jobs in the world - "Well, you bought the kit......."

"It can't be *that* difficult! There's only two wires......."

Bill.

Do you work for Rafiki tech support?

Last week we had a letter from Rafiki offering us a free 2 zone panel if we went and looked round their factory. It hit the back of the bin sharpish. I keep saying this - Rafiki is a good idea, but their quality is s*ite. As most muppet sparkies are now fitting it, we are getting quite a lot of repair work on it, quite profitable! Long live Rafiki (Stu) so long as someone else is installing it!

Sounds a bit desperate!!

I hear the Suzuki Liana factory has offered a similar arrangement but have assured anonimity!

Not a fan of 2 wire, Kentec/Ctec everytime for me.

Back to the thread this will need some serious cause and effects setting up to minimise falses

Depends what two-wire it is - HAES with Apollo is a good combo.

C & E wouldn't be that bad but,not being sure of the size of this project,cost may be an issue with regards to equipment so non-addressable may be more suited.

Agreed about non addressable which is why i mentioned Ctec for that. although can't comment on the HAES, Down to personal choice i suppose! just had bad experiences with 2 wire thats all. always prefer addressable with faults as saves down time etc.

HAES are a bit more expensive than C-tec but ya get what ya pay for (imo).

Certainly an addressable system has a higher system integrity over a non-addressble system but there's still a market for them and the two wire approach optimizes it.
