                   TOWERSENTRY SITE MONITOR SYSTEMS 

Tower Sentry / Rick, Roger or Ken have never been "friendly"   We get along well lately due to their site monitoring of  Golden State Towers now Global Signal  properties.  TowerSentry  doe not support the CADDX Ranger 9000E  they had made - We do. TowerSentry has a nice range of Wireless & P.O.T.S Line Monitors but have not developed a Satellite link with their site monitor systems that we know about. With our American Express we can purchase any part for any system overnight charges will not be passes on to our clients. Towerman's personal opinion of TowerSentry is:  Limited                                                             <5> 

                 RMS  INC   Remote Monitoring Service

RMS / Art Stone has been a 6 yrs business friendship since we worked or SBA west Chris Stedt.  We still visit the KS , NE state border sites that AAT has found a use for the analog wireless site monitors that RMS utilizes.  We have the pricy,  reliable battery load tester & use it on every NOTAM / NOCOM  that we go on. Also RMS makes  a very nice digital output  multifunctional lighting  monitor board that adapts any lighting controller that does not have a digital output - ( Open / Close pin pair functional relationship) & we have one in stock. ART Stone  is very knowledgeable, he has completed hundreds of monitor installations.  The Monitor does a fine job & we have found them to be dependable. Landline and wireless monitor units can be adapted to just about any controller.      Towerman's  personal experience & opinion of RMS INC is   "TRIED & TRUE"                                     <10>

                               MATRIX NETWORKS 

Metrix Networks / Mr. Dan McCormick President has been  a business friend for 5 yrs . Telemetry was bought by Metrix several years ago & inherited its clients & technical issues.  Orbcom Satellite Communications link, Cellular, Radio, CDPD & Microburst Communication packages are available.  Towermen.com has for sale as of 08AUG05 ( 4)  complete Telemetry / Metrix  satellite  monitors  & 1) parted into road stock                                                                                                                                   Towerman's  personal experience & opinion of Matrix Networks  is;   Good                                               <7>

                              FLASH TECHNOLOGY 

  Flash Technology  / Ms. Kelley Halbedel  & I have know each other since the MTS days of Mr. Summers & Son. Our business relationship is good. I like the new OEM 9038 Board a good Non OEM price competitor.  Towerman was trained at the first  Flash Technology facility  by the one of the original Electronic Engineers Mr. George Mandeville (now retired)  603-886-4219. Mr. Mandeville has provided credentials & reference for Towerman as a competent in-service trainer since 1985. Mr. Larry Montuori worked for Flash with Mr. George Mandeville.  the 4800 board of the stand alone Lighting control monitor FTM 131 needed a separate battery back-up the FTD 150 to be FAA compliant.  Towerman has an ample stock of the 4747's, 4740's & 4980 boards with complete FTD 150's  205's & 312's 314's & 324  parts on site as needed.                              <8>

Towerman's  personal experience & opinion of Flash Technology : The equipment is reliable, however the multiple changes in ownership & lack of older system support coupled with the " replace the system attitude" has lead to the rise of Companies like Rick Sullivan's Skytech whom makes universal replacement boards for the High Intensity Systems                                                             
 
                                   E.G.G. /  HP - Hughy Phillips / Honeywell                                         (controller / monitor combinations)

   Honeywell / Ms. Becky Lyles  has been a business friend for 22 years.  is now gone. No consistant parts sales or tech support person exists in the Midwest Offices. Towerman was trained by Mr. Joseph Farrell ( now retired) 781-599-4613  EG&G Electro-optics Systems Engineer long before  Mr. Bill Miller & Mr. Pete Johnson of  HP - Hughy Phillips bought the strobe guard line now owned by Honeywell.  Mr. Farrell's engineering of the Strobe Guard SS 125 only recently changed since inception. HP  9LCA series red incandescent red lighting controller is extremely dependable, many have run 7 years & longer without a internal failure.  After Buying the Strobe Guard Line, HP phased out there KG-225 series medium intensity strobe system flash head for the  FG2000 & 3000 Series which brought the power converter back to earth. Honeywell has yet to come up with a wireless CDMA, TDMA,  GSM or Satellite communications package for the controllers.  T.I.M.E.  has a full range of support parts on site for all known EGG / HP/ Honeywell Controllers   Towerman's  personal experience & opinion of Honeywell  is "currently Broken  "lacking focus "     <5>

                                                           TWR Lighting Systems

                                                          (controller / monitor combinations )

 TWR / Mr. Robert Merryman  has been a business friend for 9 years. TWR offers a complete line of LED, Incandescent Red & Medium Intensity Lighting Systems.  Towerman  has found TWR's  Schematic drawings complete & through, Tech support informative & helpful, Parts sales / shipping fast & comforting.  TWR has a nice non Modem Controller board that is finding its way into the E1DB  & E2-3 DB These HK - (Standing for HARK Systems) modem boards has found  themselves overstocked on the shelf here at T.I.M.E.   just as the Flash 4747 board.  TWR's relationship with HARK SYSTEMS would provide a communications & monitor package to any client.                            Towerman's  personal experience & opinion of TWR  is "tried & true"
