Think you'll find if you actually spoke to them, you'll get nothing. For example, there is nothing in any Gal manual about defaulting.....I e-mailed Honeywell without stating any 'credentials' and I was sent the engineers and programming manuals for a GD-48C no problems.This is probably what most not want to hear on this site, but for me as engineer in the security industry with an NSI gold company its alarming (lol) to see how much Texe product support help the general public.............. On a supposed professional panel, it should be left to the professional installers. The general public wouldn't get any product support for Galaxy, and as thats a professional panel which imo is right.
It's great that the manufacturers are helping out people. The last thing you want is a closed shop where only people in the industry are able to install and service alarm panels. As much as it may hurt you to find out, there's many people not in the security industry who are far more intelligent or capable, or even able to get more out of a system than some of the people who install some of these panels.
I dont doubt that there are people out there with more knowledge than some in the industry, thats a given, but what i do object to is 'have a go's' who really haven't a clue about how the systems work etc.......
I presume all these capable people know what they are testing for on a service, and are installing to the current BSEN standards? In my experience with fixing the **** ups, its appears not
