I am interested in purchasing the Honeywell galaxy flex FX020 with a Mk7 keypad but have a few questions first.

 

1. Is the Honeywell reson8 bell box compatible with the above panel?

2. Is the Honeywell AG3 bell box compatible with the above panel?

3. Does the alarm panel come with the 680 ohm resistors for EOL wiring to the keypads?

4. Does the alarm panel come with the 1k and 2k resistors for double balanced wiring to the PIRs?

5. Does the rio zone expander come with the necessary resistors like the main panel for the additional zones?

6. Does the rio zone expander get its power from the main panel?

7. Can both the gsm/GPRS module and the Ethernet module both fit simultaneously within the main panel and get its power from within the panel?

8. Is it possible to set and unset the alarm remotely via the Ethernet module using a smartphone or web connected computer for when we are on holiday?

9. Is it possible to configure the alarm panel to send text messages as well as phone calls for when an alarm is triggered, when the system is set or unset? One of us is deaf so text messages is better than a phone call from the on board phone autodialler.

10. Do both the main panel and the two bell boxes above come with sealed lead acid batteries or with rechargeable NiCads?

 

11.Whats the maximum cable length for the RS422 bus for use with 4 keypads

 

12. Does the alarm panel software need updating to ensure compatibility with the Ethernet module and the GSM/GPRS module?

 

we look forward to your reply,

1. Is the Honeywell reson8 bell box compatible with the above panel? Yes

2. Is the Honeywell AG3 bell box compatible with the above panel? Yes

3. Does the alarm panel come with the 680 ohm resistors for EOL wiring to the keypads? Yes

4. Does the alarm panel come with the 1k and 2k resistors for double balanced wiring to the PIRs? Yes but it does not use 2k resistors only 1k

5. Does the rio zone expander come with the necessary resistors like the main panel for the additional zones? Yes

6. Does the rio zone expander get its power from the main panel? Yes, depending on total load you may need additional power

7. Can both the gsm/GPRS module and the Ethernet module both fit simultaneously within the main panel and get its power from within the panel? Yes as above be careful of total load

8. Is it possible to set and unset the alarm remotely via the Ethernet module using a smartphone or web connected computer for when we are on holiday? Yes I beleive there is an app for the flex but check your app store.

9. Is it possible to configure the alarm panel to send text messages as well as phone calls for when an alarm is triggered, when the system is set or unset? One of us is deaf so text messages is better than a phone call from the on board phone autodialler. Yes but any of the free TAP servers are very unreliable, but there are paid for TAP services. Also the dialler is for connecting to ARC's

10. Do both the main panel and the two bell boxes above come with sealed lead acid batteries or with rechargeable NiCads? No and Yes

 

11.Whats the maximum cable length for the RS422 bus for use with 4 keypads Its a 485 bus and upto 1km on beldon cable

 

12. Does the alarm panel software need updating to ensure compatibility with the Ethernet module and the GSM/GPRS module? No it will ship with current firmware

 

we look forward to your reply,
