Its a dam shame the Vista 32,128 and 250 FB panels where Bullet Proof when it came to performance and before UL mandates came in where fairly resistant to Ground Fault signals always going off.
Well let UL and NFPA get their hands on them with all the new revisions and now you can not use the new panels because all they due is cause False Ground Fault troubles .Especially if you have a vista key system tied into it nothing but constant ground faults and no way to get rid of them.
Worse thing also is you could temporarily turn off ground fault while looking for it.
Not with the new Turbo panels you can bypass but panels keep beeping. It was so bad at one customer I had to separate the vista panels burg components including the vista key and put it into a separate burg turbo panel which does not have ground loop detection.
To get rid of the constant ground faults going off.
I love these panels but since the changes I will no longer be installing them.
In fact I will no longer be installing any new Honeywell FBPT Panels on new installs and I will be switching out to a new manufacturer.
Why would a manufacturer allow such a mistake to happen. When they see their sales plummet from me and other dealers not buying them maybe they will get the message .
They did not get the message on Cellular communicators either Napco Star Link is a far superior product and may Honeywell dealers like me have switched to them
