Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any issues with the read/write element of Apollo Discovery manual call points manufactured in the last two years?

Thanks guys for responses so far.

Buzz - No problem being lost, mate!. If you had suffered the read/write problem you would have known about it!

Buggy - All the Discovery devices have the Ram.

Graeme - Thanks for response.

Anyone else have anything to add?

dark one, are you able to confirm what problems you had and, most impoeratntly, the manufacture of the control panel on the system?

Wiz

There was a fault with Disco detectors in that the machine used to make the mouldings was fractionally out so i as found out heads would not meet up fully with the address cards in the base and it caused devices to take another address and cause double address and device missing faults.

have had email from kentec this week telling us there is a problem with firmware version V5.93
that gives bad data faults and device type faults on apollo devices don't know if this is relevant to you but this sort of thing is always useful to know.  A fimware update is needed ???.
