Re: Church told to hang own fire panel

["Just Looking" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In many cases it takes experience to know what you are fighting. I can't
tell you how many times I have found faulty instructions, parts etc that
frustrate the simplest alarm installations and repairs. Just today I was
told that a certain keypad won't work with a certain panel, although the
instructions clearly say it will. The factory is sending a new chip. They
would not send one to a DIY or probably even speak to one. The alarm
industry in too many cases is not a mature enough industry for the DIY, even
the most erudite (church goers or not).
