Just bought a Texecom Premiere Elite 24 kit - Panel, 5 x PIR, Bell/Sounder, Extension speaker, battery, Premier LCD-P Prox Keypad, Premier COM2400 Communicator and 5 x prox fobs.

There is zero by way of instructions/manuals. Texecon site looks like you have to be a registered installer to download anything other than brochures. I've seen others say that Wintex should be included with the panel - is this correct? Is it required for configuration? What do I need to programme it from my laptop, rather than sit by the door keying commands into the keypad?

Thanks for replying. I agree CD's are dated, however it would surprise you just how many manufacturers still use them! (Most surprising is the number of computer manufacturers who still do!) I've been to the Texecom site, but as I mentioned, it looks like you have to be a registered installer to download software, or installation manuals. Do you have a link to anywhere on their site where this can be downloaded? How do I get around that red padlock!

I'll give it a go, though one part of the site says specifically that it is only for installation companies (as opposed to enthusiastic amateurs! ). I did notice the QR code on the box for the PIRs and was able to get the online manual for them, but didn't notice it on the panel but I still have the box so I'll take another look. Thanks for the advice.

Interesting! I got this message when I registered "Your email address has been verified, but your account is still pending approval. You will be notified via email once your account has been reviewed." however I was able to log in and download the manuals anyhow!
