Interesting Applications

"Self-destruct activated. This building will self-destruct in 20 seconds. Please evacuate." Repeat ad nauseum.

Could you please give some more information on the Siren? What brand, internet links, etc.

Thanks.

Napco's RP1-CAe2 keypads have a programmable system ready message. Most dealers leave it at the standard "System Ready" but you cab change it. After we installed a new P9600 system in my church many years ago I was demonstrating the capabilities of the system to one of the board members. I set the message to something other different.

Unfortunately, I forgot to change it back. Early the next morning a sweet lady from the congregation who volunteered to clean the church each week showed up as usual. She disarmed the system with the code the pastor gave and saw "Attention Burglar" Second line: "Go ahead. Make my day".

She read, "Attention Burglar", panicked and dialed 911. I'm not sure of the details but I think she told them there was an intruder in the building. The cops were not amused. Fortunately, the pastor shared my sense slightly wicked of humor. :^)

You really *can't* type! :-)

I install a lot of P1632 and ytou can't display that much text on an RP1CAe2 keypad. Is there something different about the interaction with a 9600 that allows you to display two lines of text?

How does that work in programming?

Hmmm ........ that seems to work out to be 17 characters on the first line.

Yes and you've again proved it to be true.

Seventeen on the first, twenty on the second (if you include the period after "Go ahead"). On a 32 character two line display... Interesting... Bass must truly be a programming genius. Can we say "stupid", people?

Another Bass fairytale exposed. "Kicks and Giggles" abound. I just love this group!!

I will go along with his admittance of having a wicked sense of humor as true, however, I believe he has serious mental lapses when he posts his fairytales. Doesn't he know who reads these things. He gets busted everytime with his BS. And God help us all when he gets something right. Amazing!

You know he is going to take that as a compliment.

Speaking of stupid, has anyone heard of a store or chain of stores, I think in California, called "Stupid Prices"? Are they trashy type discount dollar stores or more like a Costco or Sam's Club?

Back to the post at hand.....

Are typing and drinking health hazardous your to.

I used one of those voice boards to record.

defenses activated tear Gas release in 20 second,etc.

Poor Bell telco guy almost had a heart attack when he accidently triggered the alarm system at the radio station. he really thought he was going to get it. since i work for a radio station with a generous sound studio the recording really sounded real out of one of those 50's miltary movies.

Life is fun when you get revenge on the telco's

As long as you're not a drink as some thinkel peep you are.

I can't seem to figure that out how he got all those letters on one keypad either.

Perhaps he put two keypads side by side.

I guess we'll just have to wait and let the Napco "expert" tell us how he does it.

Look at the entry for "System Ready" message. BTW, I mostly used the Gemini P3200 and P9600 models. I've only installed a few of the P1632 model.

Say what?

Back when I was doing car electronic installs, we got in our first "talking" car alarm... when triggered, it would spew out a very whiny, pathetic-sounding "I'M BEING TAMPERED WITH!"

We were pondering if there was any way to reprogram the voice... one installer suggested a female voice screaming, "I'M BEING VIOLATED!"

I didn't realize they were around 24, 27, 29 (whatever), years ago.

Heh... And if the female's voice has a very thick uppercrust English accent: "Oh, you brute,you! Help, I'm being most horribly violated!"

Amen brother.
