USB Coms lead

[jcb208]

Have finished the wiring of my texecom panel thanks to some help on here.Now just had a look at the programing whick looks very complicated using the keypad. Is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Texecom-P...3664?pt=UK_Burglar_Alarms&hash=item41770c10c0 lead correct as I may have a look at trying to do it with wintex.From the picture it just looks like a lead and from others I have seen there is an interface as well that is used

May be just the new style lead as the old one had a small boxed pcb on it.(not much in it)

Looks the same as the one I have, and mines around 2 yr old. No box inline on mine, although I know they used to have one.

The software is on the CD that came with your panel.

FAR easier to program with the software once you get to grips with it.

The USB lead has a larger USB plug on it which contains the interface and an LED indicator. It was worth it's money not have to program the unit via the RKP.

There is a huge amount of config possible with these units, which is what you expect from high end units. I have just finished installing ours with 20 channels working. It took a couple of days to rewire as I went, but well worth the effort.
I wish I had spent the money last time on one of these units.

I have the old USB-Com and it works on the newer Elite panels as well as the old.

All the box (and the plug on the new lead) contains is a USB to Serial adapter (about £2.50 on ebay) with a connector for PCB pins rather than a 9 pin D and power taken from the panel for the electronics rather than USB.

You could make your own if you were so inclined.
