While they’re one of the most common fire alarm brands in my country, their history before the Cooper (yes, that same Cooper that bought Wheelock out, small world, isn’t it?) buyout and subsequent Eaton takeover is largely unknown and most of their devices made before Cooper/Eaton are nearly if not completely extinct or undocumented.
If I correctly read the date code on this panel, it predates (mfg’d January 1999) the Cooper takeover (which I heard happened around June or July '99), this particular lineup was made from 1995 to 2006 (when Cooper introduced the ECA/ECB range, which is still made to this day)
I’m a bit disappointed that they never followed through, but one of them told me that he’s searching in his archives if he has a copy and he’ll get back to me as soon as he can, all hope isn’t yet lost ![]()
At least I have a copy of the type 1 SDI variant, so I can get that panel running without the relay control card, all clouds have a silver lining after all
although I would really like to have the relay card finally working, for completeness’ sake.
