Re: Ademco 216

["Roland Moore" <nospam@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Grasshopper.
There was the 1023. A 6 volt system.
Then came the 1023-12. A 12 Volt system.
There was also the 1024, 1026, 1028.
The digital dialer was always an add on.
The 215 keypad had a single LED and a sounder. It used a twisted pair. Most
everything programmed by wire jumpers.
At that time you could get a Napco CCI-5 and slap in a Nel-Tech keypad. You
could use a Triton dialer or almost any slave dialer you wanted.
I wonder if we will laugh as hard in 20 years thinking back on what gets
installed today.
