I wouldn’t say these panels aren’t reliable as then they wouldn’t be up to code. Instead, they’re just more prone to break to user error as some of the processes of working on them are a little different than most simplex units. Mine works just fine and still works even after a firmware upgrade as I knew how to work on them thanks to documentation from simplex. They’re great for what they are and the trick is to just follow documentation.
Yes, the 4007ES works fine as-is. However, I've heard of an extremely high failure rate for these. Not just for firmware updates, but also IP file transfer, etc. I've never heard of another panel this prone to breaking. Especially for an enthusiast, there are many better options out there. I never said directly they're unreliable, more like they have "issues", and big ones at that.
So I know the IDNAC version only supports addressable notification, but what makes the hybrid model a hybrid? Does it support conventional and addressable initiating devices or does it offer conventional and addressable notification? And, depending on the answer, does the IDNAC version have conventional zones too?
The hybrid model just has 4 conventional NACs. Both versions of the 4007ES support conventional zones using the 4007-9801 zone/relay cards. I believe the hybrid model includes 1 zone/relay card while the IDNAC one does not.
That is a really cool panel! And I love seeing those TrueAlert ES Devices in action!
IDNAC very good especially with ESNet, very easy 2-wire operation

@@dewpoint8900 I see. Thanks!
walk test should silence your nacs.
This was on audible walk test, not silent.
