Gardtec 593

[djr69uk]

Hi there

I've got a Gardtec 593 with contour LCD (7 segment) keypad and it doesn't get used as often as it should due to the keypad entry having become a chore!

So I've done some reading and realised it will allow me to use remote keyfobs to active/deactivate the system as it is ACE compatible. However, I'm struggling to find the fobs online.

Could some kind person please point me in the right direction to reasonable priced fobs for this system? Called one security company and they want 45 + VAT. Was hoping I could get them cheaper as I'll need at least two.

I suppose the other option is to upgrade the keypad to a newer system... perhaps a G-Tag compatible system as the tags are less than 3 squids from RS components!

Is it possible to do that, possibly by just upgrading the keypad with something like this?

Claims to be for the 593, but would at be as simple as just replacing and re-programming the keypad?

Thanks in advance

ACE is long gone, G-TAG is a differentg keypad.

Nobody will supply a G-TAG RKP, fit and program tags for £45

I'm also a bit confused as to what RKP you have, LCD 7 segment? Its usually one or the other.

I read it as £45 for the fobs.

Hi, yes that is correct. I just want to know if I can buy cheap ACE fobs from somewhere?

If not then, can I get a G-Tag enabled keypad to work with the 593? The one on the RS components link suggests it works with the 593 but I'm not convinced!

Many thanks

I dont think you will get cheap ACE fobs now unless someone has some in stock. £45 seems a little strong I think ours were between £25-£30 +vat (They are a bit like car alarm fobs have a button on them and a battery) the keypads are infra red readers you may find an infra red txer that will work. Im going into the office shortly to pick up some stock Ill have a look to see if we have any left and Ill check the price out. I am fairly sure they are no longer made.

Deff not made anymore, i have a few systems out there with them, when they go its upgrade time.

Be lucky to find any knocking about i reckon other than old stock.

If I struggle to find a fob then can I use an RKP that works with the 593?

The link of the one from the RS components site in my 1st post suggests it works with the 593... can anyone confirm?

Thanks

I meant can I use a G-Tag compatible RKP that works with the 593 - such as in the link.
