Concord 4 - Not so new condition
Effenpig1
individual components(antenna shroud, battery leads, etc.) were not in
a sealed bag like they usually are, instead they were in a similar
sized zip-lock type bag. Also the resistors were bent in a U-shape
like the had all been previously installed on the terminals. I thought
maybe it had been pulled off the line for quality control testing
( yeah, right ) . I powered it up to check function and found the
installer code was not default, although the master code was. It
wasn't a huge deal, alot of times I buy the whole panel just for the
keypad, so I have plenty of extra panels. Probably not even worth
sending back for a replacement. Still, wish there was a simple
backdoor like the Concord Express.

Fuck that. I would call the distributor and demand a brand new panel appear
on my doorstep immediately.

Actually, What would make me really happy is if they would send me a
keypad in exchange. Seems more likely they will want to send me a new
board. If I hadn't had another board to put in I would have been
pretty pissed, but I would be in pretty sad shape to not have a few
panels on hand anyway.

Yeah, it's the "pass the trash" thing that irritates me.

Well, they will be getting it back with "DEFECTIVE" written on every
available surface in permanent marker.

Bet it came from SGI.

I've never dealt with SGI, I take it they have issues

You buy the package just for the keypads?

Thats why Honeywell started using seal tape. Too many times some one
take a product use it not like it repack it bring it back and adi
would put it back on shelf with out checking it.
Home Depot is famous for this I will never buy another light fixture
from them found a whole shelf one time all repacks as there called.
another time I caught them selling short of item wire nuts as well.
I only use Home depot for last minute items to save running all the wy
back to a supply house but I an geting very selective what I buy.
I am very careful to look for original seals etc . before I buy
something thats every where i go now.

Sometimes when I need an extra keypad I will buy the package for an
extra $40. Then I have extra boards, transformers, cans and other
components on hand if I need them, like in this situation. I don't buy
a kit every time I need a keypad, but I do it often enough to keep my
spare parts inventory at a comfortable level. For the few extra bucks
it seems like a good idea to me.

The boxes and all the components inside have seal tape, but to be
honest I couldn't honestly say whether it was sealed or not. The kit
was one that had the keypad pulled from it previously, so it may have
been a few weeks since I originally ordered it. I mark the top of the
box when I pull a part from it, but I think I'm going to have to pay
better attention when orders come in to make sure the box itself is
still sealed before we start robbing parts.

I never use those crappy wirenuts that come with fixtures anyway, I
always use the Ideal brand wing nuts

Yup, those kit prices are attractive. I do the same thing.

HA, I have no life. I pounded out the installer code only to find
there was a dealer code programmed. I gave up for awhile but went back
at it and found the dealer code. Installer code was in the mid 3000's
and dealer code was in the high 5000's. I need a hobby
mleuck
Don't feel too bad I've done the same thing to a number of DSC 1550's

Yes the backdoor method on the v4's used to freeze up the dialers
later so I would bang out a few from the major companies in the area
which would then give me access to hundreds of their panels
