Morning All, Before I go ahead an purchase a new panel. Once I fit the new panel in, can I use Wintext and upload my existing configuration. Or will I have to re-configure everything and re do the walk tests etc etc. Also, will I need to flash the keypads to the latest firmware as...

It's the Richochet These are the products that I currently have installed 1x Texecom Premier 48 Panel 2x Texecom Premier LCDL Large Character Flush Satin Chrome 2x Texecom Ricochet Wireless Magnetic Contact -W - GBC-0001 3x Texecom Ricochet Premier Smartkey Wireless Iconic Keyfob -...

Thanks All, So I guess its easier to upgrade to the new premier elite panel. Just to confirm, with the integration of the existing products, keypads, sensors, wirless expander etc will work fine. Would I be able to swap the circuit boards out quite easily rather then taking the whole...

Thanks for the update Im comfortable in updating the firmware as long as I know how to do it. In terms of the nvm chip, how do I get upgraded chip and from where Also the version 10 firmware, were do I obtain this from as I could not see it on the texecom website. Ive downloaded the...

Hi, The panel firmware version is 8.17 Yes I also do have a ComIP which is configured and works well with the Wintex software 6.2 Thanks

Hi I recently downloaded the texecom key fob software on the apple phone Can't seem to get it working as on the main page it says user/ password and then it says Sites, which is empty and I cannot put any details in there. I've been advised to update the firmware to the latest version...

Hi All, I have the Texecom 48 with the wireless expander for a few wireless devices. Over the weekend the battery died on the Wireless Sensor (Prestige XT-W) I replaced the battery but am getting an error which wont allow me to activate the alarm. When checking the texecom richochet...

The ibox was taken apart and cleaned out properly. I think its probably in the pipe work know :( which will need to be checked. if the issue was in one of the bathrooms then could have resolved the issue but as it effects both bathrooms looks like the pipe work below before it Ts...

Hi Firesec I have a smiliar setup which I installed myself over the last month or so. Havent had a chance to do the programming. If you can knock up a template so I can see how it looks in wintex, I wouldnt mind grabbing the file as well if possible. Installation wasnt too bad on the...

LoL I do understand where you guys are coming from. Its all new to me, esp the 2 consumer set up which is slightly mind boggling if you havent done this before. Chri5 Yeah I do understand you and the pics provided, I totaly get that. In regards to the earthing, I dont have an earth...

Hi Sorry, maybe I worte that slightly wrong. I understand the concept of earthing and the various different concepts in the earthing network such as the TT, TN etc. But the issuse which baffles me, correct me if Im wrong, I thought the TT required a RCD protection. But the RCD protection will...

Hi Ban-All-Sheds Yes your right and I would absolutely do that in all circumstances. I only do jobs what I'm comfortable with and know I can do it. In regards to the 2 Consumer units, its the first time I've come across this scenario and secondly its my own house I'm actually doing this...

Hi Chri5 Thanks for the last message, that was easy enought to understand and makes total sense. You spot on with the 12m SWA cable. Can you recommend what 60/65 amp fuse I should by and what type. Ive done a quick google and havent come up with much. Also with the Henley block is it...

Been speaking to another sparky and they mentioned its probably worth while installing a Wylex 100amp REC2 DP switch from the meter and then have the 2 consumer units coming out that. Seem to be confused even more........

No particular reason. I have 3 sky lights on that circuit, is that too much for what is required, i did think of the 6amp which will be sufficient. As it hasnt been powered up, is it worth while swapping this out? ColJack Slightly lost with you last comment. "as you've installed...

Hi All, Another question. Ive been reading some posts most of them date back to pre 2008 and they mention anyone installing a 2nd CU must install a 100amp isolation before the Henley block. So main tail goes into Isolation, then into Henley block were it is split between the 2 consumer...

Hhahah lol, or this Damn thats a good idea ;o)

Hi Thanks for the feedback. I do understand where you guys are coming from in terms of having a 25 way fuse box. The reason why I had a seperate fuse box in the loft is, its a big loft 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, so if something trips rather then running down to the ground floor back and...
