Product Discontinuation Notice – Vectus/Fortis systems
ADT has discontinued the manufacturing and sales of the Vectus/Fortis systems effective April 15, 2008.
ADT will provide five years support program for the Vectus / Fortis Series. This program goal is to provide Vectus / Fortis customers with the service and parts necessary to keep their machines in operation.
ADT will continue the sales of standard accessories, options and retrofit kits to customers that use the above systems.
ADT will provide field service support for the Vectus/Fortis standard product line until April 15, 2013.
