Hi, thought I would post an update. New alarm box fitted, was pretty straightforward on the cabling front, copy and paste. I was able to reference the old Wintex profile to set up the new profile, so bulk of the heavy lifting was already done. I did hit little issues one after the other but...

Wrong thread

That was it, the code was different. You are a star!! Many thanks. Let the fun begin...

Yes, I'm able to enter that on the keypad hence not setting off the tamper switch on the cover.

Right, I am trying to connect to my existing panel, Premier 48. Usb cable connected to com1 on the panel (it has com1 and com2). Drivers installed for the cable and configured on the laptop as com1. In Wintex I have created an account, selected Premier 48, software version 8.x (as per my...

Thanks, that was the ticket: https://branding.texe.com I think I had an old account, I was able to reset the password here and download it.

Cable arrived, the new equipment will arrive in the next day or so. I've been looking to download Wintex, on the Texecom site it sends me to sign up to Texecom Cloud which I can't as an end user and don't have a company or vat registered. I looked to sign up to...

Ok, will do. There's not much in it. Cheers

Thanks for this information. I won't get the flasher in that case, looking online I'll make my own usb cable following these steps too: https://cybergibbons.com/alarms-2/programming-a-texecom-premier-elite-12-w-using-a-ftdi-cable/ I also won't get the Elite 48, I'll get the 24 as I have 15...

Pics of pcb. I found the expander in the loft as you suggested.

Pic attached. I'll get to the PCB tomorrow and also take a look in the loft.

Looking up the 8xp, I can see it's an external box as per the pic. I don't have such a box so assumed it was a circuit that sits inside the case, a pic of my alarm attached.

Hi, I've spent a bit of time this evening and I believe I need the following, would you be kind enough to review and feedback? Texecom Premier Elite 48 Backup battery Premier Elite RM8 expander - Can I use the existing expander one off my Premier 48? SmartCom CEL0001 Flasher Interface CDH-0001...

Thanks, that is a good point. When I order the new kit, I'll get the cable to connect to my computer and I'll take screenshots of the existing setup. I'll see if I can put a list of components/ kit together today.

Seeing as most of the system is there, how difficult would it be for me to DIY install? I'm fairly handy, can I just copy and paste the existing installation? My existing system is metal cased, I wonder if you can replace just the pcb for the newer model. I'm just thinking out aloud.
