Just looking at alarm panels as our pyronix paragon plus is getting a little long in the tooth now (and there is doubleing up to get it all to fit in the six zones that the panel has)
Interested in the CPX as it seems to represent good VFM, and has a decent set of features, 16 zones (when zone doubling used), onboard dialer, and LCD keypads, got a few questions though
1) Just want to check that this panel comes with the installation manuals in the box?, I know some makes can be fussy and only provide them to resgistered installers.
2) I assume the zone doubling feature is quite straight forward, like two EOL zones wired in series with different values of resisters on each to enable the panel to tell them apart?
3) Is the any reason why the panel needs to be hidden away these days, I know you need to have it in a protected area, but is there much to be gained from hiding it as well?... current panel has a built in keypad and so is on the kitchen wall
