Thank You Honeywell / Silent Knight for Screwing over all the small Fire and Burglar Alarm Dealers and their Customers .

 Yes Honeywell / Silent Knight have once again bent over small alarm dealers and fucked them hard .

The Silent Knight Conventional panels which are very popular  have been discontinued  



 

the work horse SK 5208    and SK 2 and 4  Silent Knight  now has no conventional panels to offer.

the SK2 and 4 where same thing as Fire Lite MS 2 and 4 so that's an easy replacement but not the 5208 

In fact to try and replace the panel is now 2 to 3 times the cost trying to use other manufacturers panels if you have more than 8 zones and use all the relays 

Because the recommended replacement the inferior Fire lite MS10ud only does 10 zones  and does not have all the replays needed

The SK 5208 was a direct replacement for the SK5207 

and there are many of the 5207 still in the  field will need replaced in next 10 years and Honeywell/ SK knows it and this is nothing more than a slap to small conventional panel users who have these panels in small business ,churches and apartment buildings . Who will now have to pay many thousands of dollars to either try and find another conventional panel or upgrade entire system to addressable6800 line which has been a disaster with constant failures and updates

Honeywell which recently became Resideo  also bent over and fucked dealers by eliminating the entire Lynx wireless panel line.


The very economical L-300 lynx Plus and  L-5210 and 7000 all gone 

now you have to go with the more expensive Pro Line .

 The L-3000 was a favorite for construction trailers and Kiosks  well forget it all gone. I hear a lot of bad stuff about the new  pro series


I have switched over to Potter and Mircom for Fire Systems like many other Honeywell Dealers and gone over to Napco for burglar systems/

I have had it with Honeywell and Resideo  and will be using alot  less of their products .

Honeywell has become a bad name in the alarm world.
