Re: NX-8 ground fault troubles

["Matthew Stanley" <mstanley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I never had problems with DSC's Maxsys 4020 system. I have used those a lot
with fire installations and used addressable smokes and pulls. The only
downfall, you have to buy the bell output box which gives you 2 24VDC bell
outputs but it's a separate enclosure. You can have up to 4 of them with a
total of 8 bell outputs.



Another thing I like is it's a combo system. Burg, Fire, and Access. I like
it but if I needed it for something over 128 addressable zones, I would have
to use something else. Other than that, I use a lot of DSC systems. I also
go through Security Equipment Supply to get my stuff...   www.sesonline.com
