Hello everyone,

I have Finally decided on what alarm system I'm going for... Yes.... :) With the aid of a few nice people on this forum...Thanks to Alarmgard & Zak (Tech Support )

Gardtec 872 :rolleyes:

Total Number of Zones are 23.

Plus... Additional zones for my new extention that is going to be Built.

:band: yey!

Be advised: you will probably need an additional Grade 2 PSU with 17amp battery for the 12 hour standby battery for your size system. OR, you can wait a short while until GardTec introduce the super large 872 metal box that already takes the 17amp battery. But they don't have a release date for it yet.

The requirement is that your standby battery needs to be capable of supporting the entire IAS for a minimum of 12 hours. So you need to work out the quiescent draw and have sufficient ampheres in your battery. I doubt whether a 7 or 9amp battery will do the job, so you will need a secondary PSU with back up to share the load. A G2 PSU will need to be tampered and report mains fail and power fail (battery) to the main system, which will take up a further 3 zones (so you are now up to 26 ;) ). If you wait until the larger panel comes out you won't have that issue. Or you can use the new 595MG3 which supports a 17amp battery. Nice and small. :whistle:

Of course the assumption has to be that the installing company whether NSI or SSAIB approved are competant to to do the job and will have factored all the requirements into the quote.

Hi, Mr Alarmgard

I certainly hope so... They are NSI Gold
