datadiffusion Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 TBF not as such, I suppose I was thinking of keypads etc... displaying status but ultimately what lamps etc... the installer connects to outputs is up to them. Weren't Abel going to have a colour changing logo on their stainless bell once, but regs changed and they didn't? Or did they think regs would state they would HAVE to show confirmed etc... externally?

norman Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 MOD recruitment offices used to have latching strobes so the staff didn't walk into anything on a morning. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amps Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 We used to install a strobe or led on a p.t.s to inform the customer if the system had gone confirmed. The theory being that the when the customer/keyholder was first contacted the system may of been unconfirmed and on route to the premises the system may go confirmed without the customer knowing. Customer arrives on site sees the confirmed indicator and makes their choice whether to enter the premises or not or wait for Plod. However since everybody now has a mobile phone and can be contacted at anytime a confirmed indicator is very rarely installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it looks ****. I remember years ago going for an interview at Secom. I thought the firm i worked for were behind the times but couldn't believe how old skoll Secom appeared to be. Nice relaxed attitude though and i image a decent employer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
