ok thanks. Much appreciated.

Thanks, I'll measure the current drawn from the PSU to check the accuracy of Wintex. I can mount the 200XP near to the main panel. Would it be best used to power all the networks, and leave the panel to just deal with bell, and smartcom duty? Or should I share out the networks between panel and...

Just to expand on why so many zones - I have 4 little sheds and a garage, each with at least a keypad, pir, magnetic contact and smoke. I have PIRs everywhere for occupancy detection which is integrated with the home automation system.

1 x 18ah battery, 9 keypads 2 bells - SCB. ~20 smoke detectors ~25 PIRs ~20 ricochet window contacts rest are magnetic contacts or inputs from a home automation system Soon will add another 2 keypads, 4 smokes, 5 PIRs, 5 ricochet, 8 magnetic contacts...

I have a Premier Elite 640 with approx 80 zones all powered from the main panel. For testing, no bells are connected, no other power sources to the expanders, no batteries in any zones. *Without* the panel battery connected, the system current is stable at 1.9A With the panel battery...

Thanks for the replies. Yes he is G3 Registered, so it makes for an awkward conversation - which is why I was checking here. I specced the 90l cylinder. This is a Summer house annexe with a single shower. It will have the biggest coil I can get in it (22kW) I wanted rapid re-heat, but not to...

My plumber has laid PVC 32mm solvent weld waste pipe ready for the pressure and temperature relief drainage for a new 90l unvented indirect cylinder. Is this ok? I thought metal was recommended but he says it is high temp waste pipe. Will it cause me problems on an annual inspection? Here's a...

Yes, thank you all sorted now, I have a separate com-ip used for Home Assistant and the Smartcom for Texecom Cloud. I've also found that thread thank you.

Panel all upgraded now cheers all. Texecom support said there was no other flasher version! So I bought a USB cable, and it upgraded straight away. Now I've got a few evenings ahead of me to reprogram the config again. :-)

Yes it is a proper JAA-001 - thanks for the pointer. I'll contact support to get the software. I'm not clear on what you meant? The panel was previously configured to use all 3 com ports, with the 3rd one configured as Com IP. The screen shot was just to confirm that all 3 com ports are now...

Here's another video showing the process I'm following from power up to pressing flash. The flasher has pin 1 marked as the top left pin when it is plugged into the board. This matches the instructions here. https://www.texe.com/uk/uploads/INS552-2_Premier_Elite_Flasher_Instructions.pdf All...

Just tried it on an old XP laptop with a real serial port, same behaviour. So my suspicion is the flasher board. Should I try defaulting the panel to factory settings before trying the upgrade?

Here's the panel boot up with changing between run and prog. Is this expected behaviour? Am I supposed to boot up in run mode and then switch to prog, or boot up in prog mode? https://www.texe.com/uk/uploads/INS552-2_Premier_Elite_Flasher_Instructions.pdf suggests booting up in prog mode...

good catch - it is actually unplugged at the other end of the cable which attaches to the com-ip! I'll do a little video in the morning of what happens when I power up the panel and switch the flasher to prog. I'll unplug the PC Com from the flasher so will be just the flasher board. If that...

Thanks for the warnings and the replies - I proceed at my own risk! :-) The flasher I'm using plugs straight in - no cable. If I plug the flasher in, set to prog mode and power on the panel the red network lights are solid. Is that the expected behaviour? The flasher is plugged into a PC-Com...

Thanks both. When I plug in the flasher board which is set to "prog" should the panel boot and run, or should the network lights stop? I've deleted the wireless devices, disconnected and deleted the com settings in the panels, backed up in Wintex, printed out the config, created an installer...

I wasn't clear, apologies. I'm using 5 networks out of the 8, and have been for a few years. I have 12 keypads and various expanders spread across those networks. I use 10 areas. I normally delete the wireless devices through the "Learn Ricochet" menu not on the Zone Setup menu - was just...

Ah, thank you SecureIAM, To delete the zones, should I do that via the Keypad Richchet menu or just set to not used in Wintex? Do I need to upgrade to 4 then 5? or go straight to 5? I therefore need to ask Texecom for 1. Panel Firmware v4 and v5 2. Wintex upgrade 3. What about wireless...

I have this panel on v3, with around 70 zones including 1 wireless expander. I've been using it with a ComIP and usb serial interfaces for Wintex and home automation. I'm changing to Homeassistant for my automation, so need to upgrade to use Smartcom and the new app. I have also bought a...

I have a single skin shed that was built for me as a bit of an afterthought amongst other renovations. It is built on top of a patio. The other side of this block wall is soil. In between the shed wall and soil is a membrane, then another single skin wall about 1m height, then the higher ground...
