Ok - not quite sure why I didn't go ahead and wire up with resistors/tampers in the first place - is it preferable to wire the smokes up this way? I have a load of 4k7 and 2k2 resistors (had to finish wiring door contacts with them a week or so back). As for zones, I presume Zone A would be...

Agree - it is getting a little confusing (certainly if you're helping out answering differing queries on the same system). Perhaps a mod can split the thread and the last couple of pages relating to the modem issues can have a separate post? I'm happy for all the input on this thread (as I'll...

Cheers - aye, please keep an eye out on this thread as my attempts to program the system don't go as smoothly as planned :) Cheers.

Many thanks - I'll take my time and give it a good shot. I'm probably making up problems before I have any, although the last few posts on here suggest it won't be an easy ride programming it! I'll leave the modem/networking stuff for another time, but I'll probably find it a good idea sooner...

Hey folks. My USB adaptor turned up a few days ago (we've been away from home). Quick check connecting it to the PC COM cable then into the USB of the laptop (driver install) and all seems ok with it. Paid about the same as I would've done if I'd just purchased the USB Texecom cable in the...

Cheers folks. Think I might take a punt on the cheapy USB and see what happens, otherwise I'll have to pay to return the pc-com cable then pay another £15 for the USB version (I still may contain and up doing that). Many thanks for the advice...took my eye off the ball when ordering this...

[/url] I saw something similar (perhaps the same post) a short while ago and I'd normally give something like that a go (love hacks!) but I have time constraints and more concerned about getting the programming or the panel right. There were a few discussions suggesting that cable (as...

Thanks galaxyguy - not sure if you referring to the pic I posted (which is the adaptor), but just in case here's the cable I've got: Aye - the port on the laptop is the 15 pin female VGA I would connect to an external moinitor and the connector on the texecom is 9 pin female. So would...

Hi folks. Just a quicky hopefully. I've ordered a Texecom RS232 PC-COM cable to link my laptop (running Wintex) to my Texecom Premier Elite 24 panel (I have a bit of a mammoth thread on that subject). This cable has a 9 pin female end (the laptop end) but the port on the laptop (in fact...

Many thanks sparky...I'll post updates as and when the programming falls apart! Cheers.

Ah - remember why I purchased it (over a year ago!) now. Mainly for the two smoke zones, but also for alerts (including, if I can program it correctly, for back doors opening). Just dawned on me that Bell and Speaker are indeed different elements. If you get a moment, can you confirm that...

Aye, looking forward to dipping my toes into Wintex :shock: :D I'll probably start this evening (hope it can be carried out a little at a time just in case I don't complete the test in one go?). Just another quick question if ok? I've attached the Pyronix Twin Alert last night as...

Hope so matey! It's my daughters Birthday weekend so I haven't really had the chance to start on the programming (or wiring that additional speaker) but will start in the week. Last of the door contacts have been installed too (trickiest part of that was the chiselling and hole drilling for...

Cheers - so I can place the spare cores from Tamper (T and T - say green and white) into the AUX/Fault terminals currently looped as below - and does this mean I can remove that link: I'm probably over thinking this as usual, but can't help thinking this will go a little pear shaped if I...

Ah - loud speaker! I was looking for L/S on the panel :( So I can use the Bell Power for 12v and 0v and also for the speaker (rather, if I wanted to, the panel speaker terminal - the one that is indeed currently wired in). The pic of the panel above is before anything was actually wired...

Thanks sparky - apologies but I'm still a tad confused though. Perhaps because I'm still thinking in the 'end of line' wiring I did with the PIR's and contacts (using four cores - +,-, Tamp and Alarm)? Am I connecting the Pyronix to the Aux zone section 12v - 0v (the one full of the PIR +/-...

Hey! Believe it or not, due to ongoing refurb works in the house this alarm fit is still 'offline'! I've carried out a rewire/carpentry/lighting/plastering/painting/decorating have knock this back somewhat (didn't do the skim!), but I'd like to complete the alarm fit this weekend hopefully...

Hi folks - apologies from to drag this one from the past! We've had a load of other 'bits and bobs' to do around the house, so this job has been left to one side for a while. However, I managed to finally pick up a lintel last week on the recommendations of the poster above (local builders...

Thanks pcaouolte - will do.

Pure 100% unadulterated geekery - love it! Actually, that's a really good explanarion (you're rather good at that pcaouolte :) ) I'll post a pic of the contact some time today - one of the legs was touching an adjacent screw, but I've managed to shift this to one side. Good tip re the bit...
