ElecTech Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Another simple question no doubt... Not worked on a Kentech panel before (not sure on model either) but have a job Monday to change numerous Apollo sounders to there weatherproof versions same type of device but has a higher IP rating from what I gather. Will it be a case of disconnecting the device, silence the fault, replace the device with the same address & protocol, reset the fire alarm all done? Or is there more to it i.e. re-learning the loop due to a new device being added. I would of thought as long as my addresses are like for like it the panel will sense the same device has been refitted on the loop? Any insight would be great. Thanks, Quote
james.wilson Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I know its not the answer your looking for but you do know its you that's responsible when working on fire? Even if your working for a company, ie your bit is wrong and people die its prison?

ElecTech Posted August 18, 2017 Author Posted August 18, 2017 Yeah I don't get your point in the post though? The fact someone is unsure of something on manufacturers line of equipment doesn't mean I'm any less capable as the next man in getting it working correctly and tested and to regs. Quote

james.wilson Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 I'm just saying be cautious. Fire is different. You say your are changing conventional sounders? In that case should be a simple swap. But as with all things your last to work on it. As long as your happy to take on all responsibility for the system, then it seems a simple job...

Thought he meant addressable, and conventional is not addressed? Quote
ElecTech Posted August 19, 2017 Author Posted August 19, 2017 Well if your concerns are gunuine then thanks - only reason I posted here was for reassurance and the added fact I knew I'd get a quicker answer over the weekend than waiting Monday to speak direct with Kentec. Yeah not sure where conventional come about but it's all addressable. Quote

Nova-Security Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 get a copy of loop explorer and take a copy of the system beforehand, but it should be straight forward just address and swap Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
