Hi all, I've set up a Texecom Premier Elite panel. Upstairs there are two PIR sensors, downstairs there are three doors with magnetic sensors, three PIRs in different rooms plus one PIR on the stairs which covers the back hall and back door (which has one of the magnetic sensors). I...

Hi all, I'm a diy person. I fitted a Texecom Premier in my house ten years ago and it worked fine. Recently during the process of setting up a new tag it went wrong and after professional advice I bought a new Premier Elite panel, which after quite a struggle (old age, stupidity and difficulty...

I have done several internet searches to try to identify it to no avail. The shower was getting cooler by the day requiring the temperature tap to be turned up and up. I suspect that the thermostatic valve needs cleaning but I would like to find out what valve it is in case I need spares. I...

I need to shorten a lath and plaster wall. As you might guess where I need to make the cut is not where there is an upright! One side of the wall is in the bedroom so is accessible whereas the other is in the airing cupboard and I would dearly love to avoid taking this to pieces to add...

I've just had a garage built onto the back of my property. The toilet window (600 mm X 650 mm) opens into the garage but it needs to be replaced by a fire rated window with no opening. I previously fitted all eleven UPVC windows into my home (except the bay which I wimped out on) but I...

I have fitted and commissioned (more or less – it is in a working state), with a little help from my friends on DIYnot, a Texecom Premier 24 with keypads, proximity tags, PIRs and magnetic door sensors. I’m now considering adding some facility for notifying me remotely, probably on my mobile...

SORRY AND THANKS. I'VE NOW FIXED THIS. Forgot my other login name with overall control. Once I stopped worrying and asked you folk it came back to me! I've searched the forum but can't find an answer but apologies if I've missed something. I've eventually fitted a Texecom Premier 24 with 3...

Hi guys, I'd be pleased of your advice. I have a conventional boiler with a Honeywell 3-way diverter (wretched thing). Additionally I have two zone valves to control heating at the front of the house upstairs and downstairs separately. I have one Randall 972 controlling the HW/CH and another...

Hi, I'm planning to install a timber loft ladder in a 1900s end terrace house and will need to enlarge the loft hole. I've read what I can from other posts about doing this but would still value some advice. The ceiling joists are 4 X 2s with a spacing of about a foot giving an adequate existing...

I hope I've not submitted this twice in the last few minutes. I so my sincere apologies. I’m fitting my first alarm. It is a Premier 24 with 8 zones, two LCD remote keypads and I’m using Texecom Prestige QD PIRs. I'm intending to use EOL wiring. I’m sorry if I’m asking stupid questions but I...

I'm fitting my first burglar alarm and for magnetic door contacts have purchased FC509MT2 Made by CQR without realising that the 2 at the end indicates that it has two reed switches. My inclination is to use only one but I would be pleased to know what the extra one is intended for. Both reeds...
