You don't know anything about me, yet you make these "representations"... Intersting... And you say I'm "abusive". Prove I don't install. Tell us all, please... where do I work?? What's the name of the so-called "distributor" you keep saying I'm a counter clerk at??
I did say I started in the trade in Edmonton though, didn't I?? Seems to me you did ask me that question once... Remember??
Fourth. You started "in the trade" in 1983. You left it in 1996 when you opened your online store. Where's "twenty years"??
As for your statement about glass breaks, there are occasional falses... None of the units I installed ever falsed from "thunder" though.
You see?? I'm glad you explained this more fully. You keep forgetting your participating in a forum of non-alarm types. You frequently make "blanket statements" with little or no explanation, rarely offer any details, and occasionally forget your audiences level of understanding.
Uh-huh... And if you had actually installed any yourself, you'ld know that window treatments such as draperies, blinds, and shutters may require installing the detectors a little closer together than the 25' radius you mention. On ceiling mounted units, you may also run into problems with finishes like oak beams and heavy wainscotting. I'm really glad we've had this opportunity to share our knowledge, Robert!!
Perhaps using a better quality detector (that employs dual technolgy for instance) would reduce the level of false alarms you appear to suffer from.
Not necessarily so. The room could be substantially smaller than 50 feet on a side and still require multiple detectors. It's best to try and locate the units properly. Make sure you purchase the manufacturer's tester (or borrow one from a friendly local dealer). I personally recommend you power the unit with a 12 volt battery and try different locations in the room before mounting the sensor permanently. I also recommend never "maxing" out the "flex" component of the better C&K Intellisense units (in fact I always mount them in locations where the adjustment doesn't exceed 1/4). That will greatly reduce (if not eliminate) the chances of a "false" from thunder.
Check!! Like I mentioned earlier, I'm glad you've taken the opportunity of responding to my post. I felt your information required some "enhancement" to accurately represent the facts. You could have done all this without the bald-faced lies about me though.
Did I say that?? Excuse me if I didn't, but I was referring to glass breaks installed in the same room.
Not as "rare" as you might think... Have you actually ever installed one?? :-))
Or you could use a better quality detector!! ;-)
Nope. Some of us use the Sentrol ShatterPro. They happen to look nice flush mounted in the ceiling. Of course, I understand your aversion to "flush mounting" anything... You did say that once didn't you??
Heh... The "good ones"... :-))
Really?? I thought it had to do with the room's acoustics...
My customers don't usually wrap their rooms in "skin". I'm fascinated... Tell me more... :-))
Ewww... You mentioned the "IEI" word... :-))
