Texecom Premier 816... 8 zones but with an expander goes to 16. Built in modem for signalling. LCD and LED keypads available and has switchable outputs that can be used for all sorts.. like turning lights on, unlocking doors.

Bit pricey though... but for what you get its awsome.

As for bells have a look at the Odyssey 4, these are now my favoured bell boxes. Details of distributors are generally only published in the trade section of the website. Yet again... texecom exodus smokes are very reliable and pleasing to the eye....alternatively the Premier also support two wire smokes!

Hope this helps!

B) Well this string is going to be like spilling a can of beans its going to get messy in the next week (You can tell!!)

I would use Gardtec the 593 it is upto 24 zones with expanders or 38 zones if using an ID expander.

Your problem is Gartec only like to sell to the trade.

Daiashthomas you could buy everything from cpc.

The scantronic 9751 is expandable to 24 zones with 2 expander cards, rx40s are available and so are smoke detectors. :)

I would definitely take a look at the Premier 24 from Texecom, 8 zones as standard and can be expanded to 16 or 24. (If the guy is security mad you might be glad of the possibility of future expansion). The LCD keypads look great and are well made.

You don't say what your budget is but if you really want it to look good I'd say have a look at the new metal flush mount keypads from texecom, they're very nice.

Also if you're after smoke detectors then the Exodus are probably the best I've seen.

For bells I can't fault the Odysseys - very reliable and well made.

been to look at the job on the weekend and only need the R8

stuff i need is as follows:-

4x Pir (optex rx40)

1x Dual tec (optex dx40)

2x Smoke detectors (12v) (OS2)

1x Veritas R8

1x Extra rkp

1x External bell (would like to use flash guard)

1x Dummy bell

thinking of quoting around 500 quid for the job?

is that a decent price for the gear ?

Sell them a speech dialler. Get £120 (fitted) for them all day long.

If you don't know......ask.

Not bad for a weekend job, would have probably quoted somewhere near £700 through the company so £500 seems about right. Wouldn`t have used the R8 though.
