Re: Installation/Upgrade info needed for Safewatch Pro 3000EN, from Tyco / ADT

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What do you mean...35 doors/windows and only two wires to hook up? Does that
mean you have 17.5 doors and windows on each wire? Did you put the switches
on already?

| Frank you appear knowledgeable. Any idea how to find if there is an
| equivalent. I must say, the salesmen was aware of the 35 doors and
| windows I had prewired. I see now he figured I'd be locked into ADT
| and have no choice but to pay them $1200 to connect the doors and
| windows, plus keyboards. $35 to connect two wires. Common, that's past
| flat-out ripping you off.
