Programming advice for Texecom Premier elite 24

[Tony 1]

Up to you, like I said it is doable, you just need to read up on it and think it through.

Yeah I can’t get up to the bell box to disconnect the back up battery so that’s kyboshed that idea. Cheers for advice though.

I'm in a similar situation, I can't get up to the bell box to disconnect the back up battery. Instead i'm going to connect the hold off connections from the bell box to the old alarm's battery. It may go off for a few mins while I faff around with the wiring, but should work in theory.

That’s interesting. I was considering putting a temporary power supply to my old panel once i’d disconnected everything and just leave the bell box cable wired in whilst I installed the new panel and wired everything else in first then wire the bell box in last but wasn’t sure if you could do that. Cheers for your link I may give that a go instead

Take photo of current alarm control panel pcb/wiring
Take bell wire out of panel and connect bell +&- wire onto battery terminals this will stop bell ring while panel change

Brilliant thanks for that. Just out of interest I opened a PIR to have a look as I’ve seen talk about resistors need fitting etc and the tamper didn’t activate when I took the front off so I had a peek in the panel and the wires from the tamper terminals in the PIR have just been twisted together. That doesn’t look right to me. Shouldn’t they be wired into the tamp terminals on the pcb in the panel?

Red on positive terminal of battery
Black on negative terminal of battery
This will stop the bell from ring during panel change
Your pir will require resistors to be fitted to work correctly

Ah no worries. I don’t under the resistor part or how/where to wire them so it’s probably best if I leave it and not attempt to swap the panel etc. Cheers for your help.

I think I may have got my head around the resistors in the PIR’s, is this correct?

Yes

Yes

Thank you

I’ve managed to connect Wintex to the panel. Z1 entry/exit zone which is my hallway would I select ‘Access’ in Zone attributes 1 and also the zone wiring selection which do I chose in the drop down menu as my PIR’s has 2k2 & 4k7 resistors wired into to them and theres options for normally closed & 2k2/4k7?

 

[Handymanjo]

I would tick omittable for every zone.
Access not required as z1 is entry exit
Leave zone wiring as double/EOL for all resistor wired zones
Do not change any thing in winter which you do not understand as this could cause you problems later on.
Ask first before you change .

 

[Tony 1]

Ah that’s brilliant thank you. Zone 1 is set as a PIR in the hallway for entry/exit so do I still tick omittable for that one? Thanks I’ll certainly ask first, just don’t like to become a pain asking all the time.

 

[Handymanjo]

Yes
Omittable will allow to isolate a zone if required for a single set only.

A bit of a nightmare now. System alerts on the key pad. If I put in engineers code I get a message that I need a user. I put the default user code in and get the welcome back master message and it cycles the faults. If I the put the engineers code in again I get the message I need a user again. These are faults, I’m assuming the panel lid tamper one is because I’ve got the lid off? I’ve also noticed that under keypad tab it’s showing none. Struggling now.
