New panel & your wish list

[wee brian]

Recent investigation - somebody (came in a red lorry) cut the battery in the panel to silence the alarm and the memory was wiped. Dunno if this would be a problem with newer panels...

Thanks boys , will take the list with me , and let you know how we go , Wee Brian If the power via main 240v and batteries were removed what must have happened on some older panels there was a smaller battery that powered the Ram , memory section of the panel , if this wasn't changed you would effectively loose all the information stored within the memory , text , zone information cause & effect etc , thats why us detection boys don't like powering down panels , particularly the older ones.

 A panel design that enables the attachment of a special purpose-made shelf-type construction which is designed to hold a laptop PC. This will ensure the engineer can find somewhere safe and secure to place his laptop rather than hold it in his arms as he attempts to alsotap the keyboard!

How about Bluetooth so we could all sit at a desk in a cosy office near the panel with the laptop plugged into a socket.

beats standing at the panel with the laptop on a step ladder and everyone barging past you on site.
