Texecom Premier Wintex Tweaks

[dan_uk]

Hey all,

Thanks for the useful threads I've read so far here. My Electrician installed a Premier 24 and set it up with two areas (B upstairs/A downstairs), but part arms never worked correctly. He also didn't know about Wintex, so I have now registered and set that up myself via the Smartcom.

I now understand that areas are not really suitable for this setup and we're best to just use part arm omits. I've now flipped all zones to Area A and I have the night time part arm 1 working well.

How it should work:
Full Arm - Good: Set from GF Hall (w/PIR) or Utility (w/PIR) keypads, with either Front Door or Side Door as entry/exit - instantly arming. Seems to work.
Part Arm 1 - Good: Omits landings. Set from GF Hall (w/PIR) or Utility (w/PIR) keypads, with timed arming, and GF Hall (PIR) and Snug (PIR) as guard access.
Part Arm 2: Omits garage. Set from GF Hall (PIR) or Utility (PIR) keypads, with either Front Door or Side Door as entry/exit - instantly arming.


Where I am struggling:
1. I'd like the door contacts to guard under Part arm 1 but instant arm and entry/exit under part arm 2. I am guessing it is not possible to have the separate part arms configure the entry exit in different ways? Do I need to leave guard off or can I use areas?
2. Areas - I'd probably like to delete Area B now but can't see where to do this. Does that seem like a sensible idea to simplify things? Although perhaps you'll tell me I need it for the garage scenario.
3. Wiring types. Everything is set to normally closed. Is this generally a bad thing? Do I need to check to see if things have been connected with 2 wires or 4 wires?



Many thanks,
Dan

A Premier 24 and an Elite Premier 24 are different when it comes to arming. Pre elite on the 24 you only had part arm options.
On the Elite 24 you have 3 part arms and two areas.

Sounds like the sparky didnt have a clue on how the panel workss.

In terms of putting all in area A, just swap zones programmed as AREA B to Area A

As or them working as you want to, I am struggling to understand which zones aare guaard access and why, normally guard access zones are on the entry route only,

so in a home usually the front door is e/e, the hallway guard access and the landing is guard and omitted in part set.

Pictures of the pirs may heelp determine on what your options are.

For example many new pirs have the options for resistors built in, but some don't, you only have two terminals for each zones, so without the use of resistors the programming of the panel is correct, whether they have used the global tamper is unknown without seeing wiring in the panel

Thank you @secureiam. You are correct, It's an Elite Premier 24. I've swapped the Area Bs to Area As so all under A now.

I've set the guard attribute on the entry/exit doors, since I would like them to instant alarm under the night time part-arm 1. I read that on the forum, and this seems to work well - they act as entry/exit under full arm, but they guard under part arm.

I'd also like a separate full arm option that omits just the garage but continues to treat the doors as entry/exit. Is there an easy way to do that other than manually omitting it each time? I guess this is where I could use Area B perhaps.

Picture of the PIR for the wiring question attached. Many thanks.
