Title: Menvier 9300 conventional panel
Post by: bibbage on August 19, 2008, 08:39:45 PM

Hi
Can someone please tell me - are Apollo Series 65 detectors/bases compatible with this panel or do they have to be Menvier to comply with head removal fully.

Cheers

should work.
us the S65 Diode base

MY thinking is that as the EOL is a resister with a diode base and the head removed the panel would still see the resister, so not showing a fault.  The Menvier base has a switch with parallel Zenor diode I believe.  I hope this makes sense!

eol is a 12K resistor. Can't find anyhting to say wether the bases use zener or shokty..

I think that the Menvier panels monitor with a standard resistor and diode bases are used , there is no active eol as the panel has the electronics for the head removal built into the pcb . So you use a standard base if the job is old  ie head out loose the zone.
What I would check that when the existing heads are removed it brings up a fault , as they may have been wired inccorrectly **** see previous threads.

Bibbage, you require apollo S60 zener base (pt no. 45681-350). I can confirm that head removal works on the MF400 series panels as I tried it only last week. I reckon will therefore work on the MF9300 as both panels were around at the same time.
