Adi Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Ive fitted loads of pyronix/castle kit, not one faulty item. This does not include the sack of **** sterling 10, which i am sure they are embarrassed about. But any of the modern kit is spot on. I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.

Alarm Protection Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Oh don't mention the Sterling 10. Absolute nightmare panels. All out of the estate we took over thank god. !
Adi Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 kx? KX, enforcer, euro mini and 46 Bells need a make over though I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
RichL Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 We've ripped out loads of KX Dts due to FA's, they are garbage and not fit for anything other than a domestic room, so no advantage over a PIR. Replaced with iWise or Seimens. I dont think we've had a duff Enforcer, Euromini or Euro46 panel but have had a few LEDs fail on Castle keypads. I hear that they are now moving production back to the UK so hopefully quality will improve. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
petrolhead Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I've had the backlight go on a couple of enforcers and a couple of euro 46sm panels keel over, but nothing recently touch wood.
AdamAlarm Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 The backlight is not a manufacturing problem it is a design and quality of component problem. This has been going on since pyronix brought out the blue lcd, so not new. And, if you notice now the backlights are defaulted to time-out, this is not because of a feature, but because the issue continues. I still get them failing. With the backlight going out, it saves the short life of the rip to fail after the warranty period. I have found that they do not solve problems, but hide them and then disguise this hidden fault by saying it is a new feature for the customers benefit. As for 50% rate fail, well a percentage is not really credible with low amounts.
norman Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Percentage is percentage imo, appreciated low amounts but that's also subjective, how many are you talking? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Don't say that, lol, just bought some DT's, don't usually use that many but was going to give them ago if my FA site has a spasm again. I thought the KX quad was ok, especially on the low setting. I was trying to stay away from risco, which siemens model? I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
datadiffusion Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 I can highly recommend the e-line Grade 2 (or 3) Dualtecs for FA prone sites I did a review a little while back - see the reviews section if you're want to find out more. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
