Hi all,
We have an old Abacus system which I wanted to replace with a Texecom Premier 24. The main reason for this system choice is to add the GSM communicator on at a later stage. Wiring is all existing 6-core.
Given the cost of having it professionally done (ard £400 labour w/out comms module bit), I was wondering if it could be DIY'd into 3 cash-flow friendly steps:
1. replace 4 PIRs 1st (keeping old panic alarm and front door entry/exit contact)
2. replace control panel, keypad, and backup battery
3. eventually add communication module
On a scale of 1-10, how difficult do you think each stage would be for a DIY job? I'd normally review the installation manuals 1st, but can't access them as an end-user.
Thx,
Raj
