[Reddwarf4ever]

What’s the point of this forum, if you say no point in giving advice because everyone will have their own preferences....

 

but it isn’t THAT the whole point, healthy discussion.

 

thanks anyway, will research elsewhere........

It's not as simple as that. 

Think of the question, what's the best car? 

That’s what discussion means, we discuss weigh up pros and cons......maybe just let google decide for me LOL

Can’t see any way of editing my post, but I purposely didn’t put this in DIY, for the simple reason I don’t intend doing it myself, just wanted some equipment advice.

 

Have decided to do away with all the smoke alarms, as I a, told they only last 7 years and most are now over 16 years old....will replace with 3 or 4 standalone smoke alarms.  Also am told by an enquiry I made that

 

A Pyronix  Euro 46 8 zone control panel., a euro zem8 8 zone wired expander  & two Pyronix Euro keypads, & a  Pyronix delta bell.

 

been also told that to have TWO external sounders would require an extra PSU, whereas my gardtec 840 see,S t accept two easily., so wonder wh I can’t have two, a PSU shouldn’t be too expensive should it?

 

not clear if this is my cheapest option to replace the specified components I.e. two kepypads alarm panel and an external alarm, all PIRs and door contacts to remain.

 

One other enquiry suggested a scantronic  hybrid panel, which as. I Understand has Wi-fi included and some wireless capability also, not sure yet if this requires extra modules or not, or if the Pyronix is my best choice

 

thanks

 

You would have to look at the stand alone smoke alarms sell by date aswell

 

One bell will be in sab mode other bell I'm scb mode

 

scaMtronic only good for basic alarm , many systems have wireless though 

 

Texecom

Hkc 

 

Don't think the Vanderbilt will work for you if you need good wireless options

 

Keeping existing contacts and pirs , depends how well they are working but after 17uears why you want to keep them?
