Aha! Just found "part arm text" in the global options. That sounds hopeful...!

Thanks. I'd got that bit, but where is it set? I can't find it in the part arm settings, so I suspect it's hidden elsewhere...

Hi all, Is it possible to change the part arm text for part arm options 1, 2 and 3, or are they hard coded? They are currently "Evening arm", "bedtime arm 1" and "bedtime arm 2". I've a good search through, but this eludes me!

Thanks!

This looks a decent alternative too - bit more tamper proof too....if it works! https://www.hunters-wholesalers.co.uk/images/DC888.pdf

Thanks, that's a good idea and will probably be a bit more robust than a little reed switch. Will have a look and will probably talk to the door supplier too to see what they recommend.

I'm fitting a steel personnel door to an outbuilding (https://www.lathamssteeldoors.co.uk/panelled-security-doors/security-cottage-style-steel-door/, in case anyone is interested), and I suspect that, being steel, a regular reed-switch door contact might not work as well as it would on a regular...

Yes, definitely! The current programs are as follows: Prog 1 (default): Front Door: Entry/Exit Back Door: Entry/Exit All other zones: immediate alarm Prog 2: (night) Hallway PIR: Entry/Exit Upstairs zones: disabled All other zones: immediate alarm Prog 3: (used when in the house at night...

Just getting my head around the differences between the Accenta and the Premier Elite and have a quick question on programming: If I get this right, the Texecom panel has zones (physical wired connections), areas (a logical group of zones - e.g. "upstairs" or "garage") and suites (a group of...

Kit arrived today and looks pretty impressive. One thing that surprised me a great deal is that the whole lot, control panel, keypads, even the SmartCom is made in the UK. According to their website, they even do their own injection moulding in Oldham, of all places! I knew that the company...

Thanks - I suspect it will be easier to just get the ladders out and disconnect the battery in the bell-box. One less thing to faff with!

Thanks for your help on this. I've found a friendly dealer to supply me with what I need and will hopefully get an order in soon. Just a couple more questions, if I may: 1) As I'll be covering some garage space, I was intending to use some dual-tech PIRs to minimise false alarms (something...

OK, so in this configuration you would only connect the common ground, "T" and "R" wires on the network link between the outbuilding 8XP and main panel, so that the two are separately powered, but still able to communicate. I assume that a power failure in the PSU200XP would trigger a tamper /...

Just a quick look at the Premier Elite 48 suggests that it will do the job nicely. Quick "fag packet" design: Premier Elite 48 8XP expander in the house (to give 16 zones at the main panel - enough for the house zones) - might be able to manage without this. 8XP in the outbuildings (to give 8...

Thanks very much for your help. Will have a look at the Premier Elite 24 and do a bit of reading on specs and setup. Will download the installation manual and have a read and drop a note back if I have any further questions. Was more put off by the distinct lack of public installation materials...

Thanks. The cables are (for logistical reasons) sharing the path through the house with the power cable, but it's armoured which should (I hope!) provide enough shielding and if I end up using the CAT6 cable, that's shielded too. There will be nothing electrically noisy running on that power...

Yes. Don't mind powering remotely, providing that a power cut at the remote location would trigger as a tamper fault (i.e. shutting off the power would be an automatic alarm situation).

Thanks for the reply. Answers: Already being dug in. Not knowing quite what I'll be using, I've got a few runs of 6 core alarm, and a few of CAT6 so can choose which I use. The ideal, I guess, would be a system that uses a single CAT6 to connect the main system to the satellite module, which...

Hi all, Some 15-ish years ago, I installed an Accenta G4 in my house (UK) and it's done sterling service, never missing a beat. But, we've outgrown it now and so the time has come to replace it. Specific requirements that we need for a new one: Wired (not wireless) 16 zones Wired remote...
