replacing an ademco 4150

[[email protected]]

Thats good to know, and pretty much decides for me what I'll get. I'll
need to get the wife trained up on remembering to disarm the alarm for
that

Heh. I've done some alarm work before, just wasn't familiar with
ademco. Anyone who doesn't research the system before they buy deserves
what they get.

Nope, not a professional, but I've been on usenet for enough years to
let humour slide

Just checking to see if you still have a pulse after looking at all of
those Florida melons

Not too difficult. The first time she forgets the system will remind her. I'm
taking a few days off. If you decide, despite the flames in this newsgroup, to
order from my firm, you can order online or call customer support. They'll be
manning the phones while I'm away. I'll be back Monday night.

Thanks everyone. Just installed a Vista 20P over the weekend and it was
relatively painless (I had to cut out the old batteries from the 4150
system - the terminals were really corroded) and documenting the old
zones and cabling (previous installer had used four core cable and
split the cores across zones).

I did make the mistake of not going with the 6160 keypad and got a 6150
instead which made programming a little fun, but it only took about 5
minutes to figure out what it was looking for.

The new system works well and I've been able to kick out a few false
alarm issues that plagued me with the old system.

6150..it aint easy nor recommended.

If he did zone programming on the his first try then he gets a gold star
AND a cookie.

We got one guy who can get through it pretty easy but it ain't me, brother.

It's definitely a pita...enough so that I'd usually opt for driving back to
the office for my trusty beatup 6139.
