Panic over Turns out that Evan at the age of 46 I can’t tell the difference between 5 and 6 There’s an additional connection for speaker on the LCDLP and if miscounted so the network wires were in the wrong place.

I’ve just removed a texecom LCDP keypad and replaced it with a LCDLP. I powered off the system and removed the battery before starting I swapped the wires like for like and the position of the 4 switches has been replicated but now I’ve powered up the system there’s no display on the new...

Hi Due to corrosion on the bezels I need to replace the downlighs in the bathroom. they’re on a dimmer, I’m not sure if it’s just the lamp that needs to be dimmable or if the fitting needs to be capable too? Looking at replacing this: With something like this...

Hi The plastic flap broke on our ageing LCDP keypad, I have bought a nice new LCDLP to replace it. The current keypad has a door contact connected to one of the keypad zones, then the cable to the panel - Am I correct in thinking that as long as I connect these like for like I should be OK...

5.04.01 the display alternates between the usual text and the error message all the time

Ah, that’s right. I defaulted the panel after flashing. I have logged in as engineer and pressed reset twice which logs me out but still get the message

Do you mean logging in as engineer and pressing reset? If so, yes but still get the message. I did a power down, and back up holding the reset button after flashing, but not since adding the Smartcom or removing the COM2400, should I do this again?

Once you had pointed me at the correct COM1 port, I connected 4 wire to COM1, 2 wire to COM2 and removed the COM2400. Went through the setup options for the Smartcom and it gave me the App code I was expecting. Entered this into the app but I cannot set the system, likely due to the ATS fault...

Looks like I spoke too soon when I said it was working. I'm unable to set via app or keypad When I go to "program digi" ARC1 protocol is Texecom connect, the others are all disabled. Does tis mean it's the Smartcom that's creating the ATS error? If so, any ideas on how to fix?

Hi, thank you so much for your advice, the Smartcom is now connected properly and working. I have removed the COM2400 and set Digi modem as not used but I'm now getting "No ATS Available" message, is there another setting I need to change?

Thanks - It did have a 7.0 but it failed and the panel was chirping all night about a faulty PSU, this was all I could find locally a few Saturdays ago so is just a stop-gap. Until I popped the front off the panel today I'd forgotten about it.

Doh! Thank you. I incorrectly assumed (despite the big COM2400 sticker) that the tiny square thing bottom right was the com2400. I shall try again. I no longer wish to use the COM2400, is it best to remove it? If so, is that straightforward?

Hi Pictures with nothing connected, with cables connected as per instructions (no Smartcom lights) and connected the opposite way to instructions (lit Smartcom) I’ve had to put the house back together now but can try again tomorrow cheers

Hi I finally got around to upgrading the firmware on my Premier Elite 24 from V1 to V5, this seems to have gone OK. I then tried connecting the Smartcom. The instructions say 4 wired connector to COM1 2 wired connector to COM2 but when I connected them this way there was no power to the...

Hi I have a Texecom Premier Elite 24 running firmware 1.09. I also have the wireless box (ricochet?) which connects to 2 PIR's in the garage, these currently do not get set, but I don't want to lose functionality as they may be set in the future. I have the JAC-001 lead and know I need to...
