Texecom Premier Elite, battery replacement and tamper query.

[Jivebunny]

My alarm system is a Texecom Premier Elite. This year I intend to replace the batteries in the wireless PIR’s, main panel battery and the wired bell box.

Will the tamper be put on hold/pause while I swap out the main control panel battery and wireless PIR batteries if I enter the engineer code that I have?

I've read that before I open the bell box and change the battery, I need to put the bell box on hold mode. If this is the case would someone kindly instruct me on how to proceed, please.

whilst in engineering tamper won’t activate on opening and closing of a device whilst replacing a battery, when you come out of engineering tampers may show for the following:-

Battery not put in properly
Device nit reporting back properly
Tampers not closed, ie unit not put back together properly

Panels above a certain version can have a battery swap option which master use can use for changing batteries

Hi Secureiam,
Many thanks for the reply. Does this include the bell box?

 

[secureiam]

The best option for the bell box is to to go to be test and press omit

1.5V Lithium AA's but its in the manual, wouldn't use alkaline AA's they wouldn't perform very well.
