    External keypad for texecom

    Thanks. I had been looking at the iprox as well, but failed to see the external keypad option. Surprisingly hard to find many options, other than some very cheap and unreliable sounding ones on amazon. These seem to be best looking options. Any one experience of them, or have other...

    Texecom elite 24 COM3

However my home automation system that used to connect via the ComIP cannot connect via the SmartCom IP address and port. I am guessing that it doesnt allow other connections. I had...

    Texecom elite upgrade and new products

    I have put the micro contacts on bifold doors that are often left open for the evening. It seems to be draining the battery really quickly. Should these be on hybrid? Have had them on auto, or is this not possible with ricochet devices? thanks

    Accessing texecom software and manuals

    It might take a little while to come through, if not, try with a company name entered as well, if you didnt last time. You can then download the manual and software from the website.

    External alarm cabling

    One last question... am I supposed to do anything to the conduit once installed? The pipe vice has left a few marks and in a couple of places there is a mm or 2 of exposed thread. Do I need to spray anything? Thanks.

    Ricochet not learning new device

    So the strange thing is, with the panel not in learn mode, and taking the battery out and replacing it, but the light flashes purple then goes solid green regardless. Is the contact resetting properly when the battery is removed?

    Texecom elite power supply

    Thanks... I think it was definitely an issue with charging... I will have to wait until I can get to the panel and open it up when the noise wont wake someone to check the charging rate. I have the 24 with a 17Ah battery. Yes the EN calc shows alarm power as well. I have the 4 soundbomb...
