I work for JCI and install the FS panels sometimes, we're kinda the guinea pig of testing them. I kinda want one but they've been finicky lol. they got some bugs to work out, so far I've only installed a few of the 2008 FS conventional panels. They've been okay lol. Im glad im not the only one having trouble with the smokes though, they act so weird. Ive had them re alarm when I was testing each individual one, had to air them out a LOT. then some of the time i smoked the crap out of a couple even in a CUP and they had a hard time activating LOL. It was odd. Made me worry about false alarms but it behaved after a while
@@YourLocalFireAlarmTech Yeah, FS panels are very strange. I’m sure you would know this but I don’t think there is a way to set detector sensitivity like on Notifier.
@aerhardt Simplex and Wheelock, I can’t remember how to activate Wheelock sync however. It isn’t part of the menu to set signal coding, if I remember correctly it is a setting somewhere labeled “Wheelock Mode”.
@@alrmfire1 I'd wait to see if another pops up for a lower price. Those are basically a glorified MS-4 that runs filtered DC. They are absolutely not worth $400. If you want a foundation series panel I would go with at least the A008-9101, but I would recommend going addressable.
Pretty cool panel and TrueAlerts!
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Thanks, more videos to come!

Does the panel come with built in simplex sync ?
@Calebs_clocks Yes it does.
@@IceAlarmsAny other sync protocols? I know many Simplex panels have Wheelock sync.

Where do you buy these panels at?
Just off eBay, if you need help finding a specific panel I can try to help.
I just found one for $410 it’s a Autocall A004 and that’s the one I want!

@ Are they easy to program?
@@alrmfire1 Which panel? A004, A008 or addressable line?
