@sparkymarka So if I do the following the alarm won't sound? - Enter engineer code - Open alarm panel lid - Disconnect mains power from alarm panel - Disconnect battery I can then connect ComIP and then reattach battery and apply mains power. Does that look correct?

I have a Texecom Premier Elite 24 with Smartcom installed. I am going to integrate this alarm to Home Assistant using the Crestron protocol, so I am about to install a Premier Elite Comport+ to give me a 3rd comm port and then install a ComIP - which I will use for the Crestron/Home Assisstant...

Hi, Short Summary Long post with full background coming: but basically, we have a combi boiler and looking to move to a system boiler with an unvented cylinder. We have been exploring options for boilers and controls and getting a bit lost in what's 'best' out of the various options e.g...

@secureiam Just looping back round to this thread to confirm what the issue was (and for the benefit of others finding this thread in the future): I had the language set to English, but I actually needed another option: 'English - UK'. Once I set that on the global options menu, the firmware...

@secureiam Thank you for your response. I agree with you that further support documentation and tutorial material from Texecom would be of great assistance to DIY users. This was my first time installing an alarm system (Premier Elite 24 wired installation for my own 6-bedroom house) and there...

I have a Texecom Premier Elite 24 which is currently running firmware version V5.01.03 LS1. It is connected to a SmartCom which was running v03 firmware. I have just used the Texecom Cloud Services (cloud.texe.com) to upgrade the SmartCom to v04.04.00. I would now like to proceed with an...

Thanks sparkymaka - that SC517G2 model looks the business. I may look to pick up a couple of those instead. It's frustrating that the Reseller did not include that model in their kit. Given that the rest of the components are all Grade 2, I can't understand why they would include such a basic...

All PIRs and door contacts are on separate zones. Could you tell me more about the wiring options, please (including use of resistors)? Is there any reference material available with circuit diagrams? I am also open to buying alternative contacts if these ones (included in the kit) are sub-par.

Hi sparkymarka, it's a brand new installation and I've wired 6-core cable runs from the panel to all PIRs and door contact positions. 4 cores are 'active' for each of the PIRs and I have up to 6 cores available as required for the door contact wiring, but just not sure how to wire the door...

I purchased a Texecom Premier Elite 24 kit and have wired it up myself. All of the Texecom PIR sensors which were included are wired in EOL and are working correctly. I am now trying to get the door contacts working. The contacts that were included have a sticker on them saying "CQR Maximal...

Thanks for your reply. The way I installed it was to connect the battery, kick start the battery and then apply the AC power. Are you saying that doing that in reverse will power it off? i.e. turn off AC then disconnect battery? Will the siren go off if I do this? Are you also saying that I am...

Hi, I DIY installed a Texecom Premier Elite 24 into my home and it has been working fine. I now wish to install a second sounder for the back of the house. I'm not clear how to power off the AC and battery to the panel so that I can safely work on the wiring. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks guys. I think this unit will be more trouble that it's worth so I am going to just return it. Serves me right for just assuming that it was a flat base unit and ordering without checking the mounting instructions first! Now to see if I can find a more suitable 700mm x 1500mm shower tray!

I purchased the following Duravit Shower Tray (1500x700): https://www.duravit.co.uk/products/all_series/starck_tubs__showers.com-en.html?product=1616323 I have not yet unboxed it, but from the drawings it looks like the profile on the bottom of the tray is sloped - with a 20mm 'lip' all the...

Hi guys, thanks for all the advice so far - very much appreciated. I think I've decided that I'm going to just buy an assortment of rubber washers and find one that fits. In the meantime, I've reattached the flexible tube to the connector without a washer. I tightened by hand and then...

So I popped to B&Q and bought the equivalent of what screwfix was selling. Upon trying to place this inside the flexible hose connector, it is clear that these are too big: What size do you think I should be going for?

Hi Madrab, Thank you very much for your response. I have disconnected the flexible pipe and, as I did so, I noticed what looks like a half of a rubber washer fall out. See image. Presumably this indicates that I need a new washer, as you predicted. Is 1/2" definitely going to be...

I have a bathroom tap which has a slow dripping leak. The leak seems to be coming from a connector joning the steel hose to the plastic pipe. This affects only the cold side. The hot side is not leaking. For the meantime, I have closed off the supply to the cold side by using a screwdriver to...
