lol Sparky, I did notice that when I made my post. Had the kit about 5 weeks but not had the time to start yet. Doesn't time fly though :D The old systems still working well though so I was able to put it on the back burner :wink: John

Well guys, this has been a thoroughly interesting topic from start to finish. Not sure I understood some of it though :lol: but I'll be in at the deep end next week as I have a Premier 48-W Ricochet system to install to replace my ageing Excel system. Although I won't have any comms added to...

Hi folks, been a while since I last posted but thought I would let you know I decided to get the Texecom Premier 48-W Ricochet and replace the ageing Excel system. Going to start work on fitting it next week so hope it is as simple as the original system to fit :roll: At least the wiring...

Thanks Alarm, I think if I am able to use my present panel rather than buy a zone expander I would just free up a zone to allow the Ricochet expander to be added and cover the removed zone through a Ricochet sensor. Would save me some work if I can leave my present panel so my fingers are...

Hi Alarm, I have all 8 zones in use, one of them connected to Fire detectors and the others connected to door contacts and Pirs throughout the house. That would be great if there was an addon that worked with the Excel system, from my browsing I thought only the Premier Panels were compatable...

Hi Guys, this is my 1st post so Hi (again) :-) I fitted a Texecom Veritas Excel system about 5 years ago. Having no previous experience I'm pleased to say in all that time I have only ever had one of my Pirs fail but the system has been problem free otherwise. I would now like to upgrade...
