Re: Ademco 216

["Matthew Stanley" <mstanley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am aware on how old this system is. Yes.... They are paying me by the
hour. I dont know why people think its cheaper to upgrade. Nothing wrong
with what they have. It all works except this unit. I will replace these
with keyswitch arming stations. Thats cheaper then replaceing the entire
unit.

I would have to replace the panel, motions, bell, and rewire the unit so its
not all on one zone. Thats more then just 40.00 plus parts and an $80.00
service charge.

Why replace something  that works just because its old?
