Greetings from the UK - Menvier TS700 advice needed please

[Ed-B]

I have just found this forum and, having joined, wanted to send greetings from Yorkshire in the UK.

 

I have a Menvier TS700 which, whilst running well, has developed a display fault with the LED readout on one of our two remote keypads. I installed the system myself over 22 years ago. In those days (2002), the Menvier system was seen as almost an industry standard. With the help of a friendly local alarm component supplier, I purchased the parts that I needed and carefully installed the system and it has worked perfectly since then. I managed to source a used replacement TS700 remote keypad but, when I swapped them over, I got a busy display on the read out. That suggests that the replacement panel may not be compatible.

 

Can anyone offer any advice ? Failing that, I think the best way forward would be to replace the system with a new up-to-date one.

 

Unfortunately, my friendly alarm component supplier retired and the business closed over 10 years ago so, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful.

 

Many thanks in advance for any time / advice that you can give. All the best, Ed

Either replace the controls & keypad or pay someone to replace the controls & keypads

Hi MrHappy,

 

many thanks for replying. Are you saying that the blind panel and the 2 keypads all need to be replaced (i.e. install a new complete system) ?

 

Thanks in advance

you find new keypads that work with that panel and old keypads wont work with a new panel.

ie would you use a new ford ranger ECU on your citroen AX

Hi All, Many thanks for all of your replies. I think you are right. The old system has been in place for a long time and, like me, is getting a little long in the tooth. I'll do some more research and move to a new system, probably the Ring system as which magazine rates this one very highly in the UK. Once again, many thanks for all of your help, all the best, Ed

Bear in mind thats a diy product not a pro product. For instance most of us here arent allowed to use it
