Are ADT products compatible with Fire-Lite products? I’ve noticed that ADT products look just like Fire-Lite products, and even have the same model number, but just an “MADT” at the end.
So, more specifically, is ADT’s “M300MADT” monitor module the same thing as Fire-Lite’s “M300” monitor module? Is the M300MADT compatible with Fire-Lite addressable panels?
ADT is owned by Tyco, which is ironically the same company that owns Simplex. Fire-Lite, Notifier, Silent Knight, Gamewell-FCI, and System Sensor are all owned by Honeywell. ADT just takes Fire-Lite’s equipment and puts their name on it.
There have also been instances in which ADT re-brands Simplex devices. Take my T-bar for example, it has a Simplex logo on the front and looks like an ordinary 4099 or 2099, but the label inside tells a different story.
I have one of those. It says “ADT” where the “B” would be on the lock. I’ve heard the ADT key included with the pull station will also work as a Simplex B key. Is this true?
You can tell that Simplex originally made them and ADT rebranded them since “Simplex” is part of the mold, and engraved into the pull. ADT then slapped a sticker on it, since they could not remove the “Simplex” text.
This also happens on a GX-90: “GENTEX” is part of the mold, Simplex slaps a sticker on it.
What T-Bar have you seen with an ADT sticker on it. I have seen the Gentex alarms with the sticker on it, you’d think that they would put a little more effort into making custom ADT horns.
Does ADT own Gentex? It seems like most alarms are being re-branded in some way or another.
