Any Texecom engineers in Leeds area?

Hi. Been wanting to update my alarm for years, I need my premier 64 wireless board swapping to a new premier elite so I can add smartcom. Looking to use same bell box, pirs, and key pad.

Anyone Leeds way able to quote please?

Not in Leeds but I am down that way from time to time.
If you have a 64-W it can be flash upgraded.
If it’s a version 3 panel or higher out of the factory then you can probably get a way with a flash update rather than panel/ pcb change.

Menu 4 on the keypad will give you the current version.

The devices may need deleting off and then relearning back on if it’s a version 4 panel or lower.

Hi. Mine is a Premier 48 software V8.17

So not 64 apologies.

Okay how many devices are on there currently.

You can’t replace the PCB of a premier with a premier elite, the power supply connection is different.

What do you want to do going forward, hardwired, wireless?

I am going to suspect if you have wireless on that panel it’s radio plus and not ricochet for example

Radio plus silver aerial, but should also be marked up inside on the device label.

Ricochet is a very early version if it is ricochet, this maybe an issue if you want to add some devices. Like keypads, bells or dual techs. It is supposed to be compatible with everything else but at 16 years old if Ricochet it may be an issue.

Wintex won’t be able to to see the richochet devices via ricochet monitor as that required version 2 expanders and version 2 elite panel.

Connecting to the panel using Wintex, requires a cloud account if using smart com, however there are ways around this.
