Hello I don't believe I need them as I have Cable Broadband (coaxial cable type connection). I could be wrong!?

Hi - Thanks for sharing. I went off on vacation for 10 days and handed my keys to a neighbor and a relative. I wanted to test the robustness of the SMS approach so I configured it to notify me not only of alarms but of Arm and Disarm events too. SMS worked when I left the house on vacation...

All worked well thanks. I powered the panel down, fitted, connected it to the phone line, and all is good. I'm a little concerned about the reliability of the whole alert via SMS gateway approach, having done some reading it sounds like you do get issues with providers getting too busy and msgs...

Hello: I recently installed a Premier Elite 48 panel and it is working well. I now want to install the Com2400 plug in digimodem. Given that it needs to be installed onto the main PCB of the panel, I am thinking that it needs to be powered down completely. correct? If yes, how do you actually...

Perfect thank you

Perfect thank you.

Hello: This post is a good one for me. My father in law who works in telecoms used to install Scantronic systems in my old house and his own. I'm not too technical but I have been watching and assisting on those installations so I have some idea. I recently moved house and the old alarm...

Hello I have just installed a Texecom Premier Elite 48 and I had a couple of minor programming basics to ask. Here is one of them. I have setup a user with a arm/disarm code as well as assigning a prox tag. During disarm I attempted to use the code, but the LCD returned a message stating that...

Hello I have just installed a Texecom Premier Elite 48 and I had a couple of minor programming basics to ask. Here is one of them. I have the usual home setup of having a Full set and a night mode (part set). For the full set I have 30 seconds to exit the property, which works great. But when...

I finally purchased all the kit, installed and now have a fully functioning alarm system. Only three minor programming corrections I need to make (which I need a little help on the forum) but even without those changes it is working great. for any other DIY'ers out there, I thought is was...

Having done some more research I could not tell if I need the 24 or 48 in order to be able to link the Kiddie wired fire alarm to the Texecom. Also can't be sure which keypad might be most suitable. Would anyone be able to help me answer these two questions? Thanks

Hello I moved house a couple of years back but the alarm system has finally died and I am keen to replace to something modern as the current system was too basic. I had posted a couple of years back and the recommendation was the Texecom Premier Elite. I had a few questions: Basics Is the...

Thanks very much for this advice, very clear and helpful. Very basic question... why the earth cable? reading the smoke detector install guide it just says it connects to the connector block but not connected to the detector, so I wonder why? thanks

Hi I have recently moved into my new place and I want to do something to make the front look nicer. It is a standard two floor detached property. The front of the house is all paved for a drive and some gravel area. I plan to put in some hanging baskets and pot plants but I would really like...

OK thanks. So no one has said these should not be used so I assume that joist hangers are ok method to do extensions for bedrooms like this. Thanks

Hi I have started pulling up the flooring in one of the bedrooms which is part of an extension which was built in the property a few years back. I don't have much experience with these things but I did notice that the floor joists are attached using joist hangers and and I'm not sure if...
