going to try a 'pro' alarm install

J.C.E · Jan 21, 2018

Finished 1st fixing my brother and his misses new house last week!
Wired for intruder alarm too

only installed 2 alarms before both being a budget honeywell one with global tamper!

This is the diagram I drew to help me wire those (attached)

I am looking to install a slightly more pro install at my brothers- likely the Texecom premier elite- but I know the wiring is slightly different for the tamp circuit

does anyone have a nice diagram for mwoi!

nottoo sure about the premier elite, buti think each zone may have it's own tamper loop. or......end of line resistors. this entails a single loop for alarm and tamperwith a R in parallel with the alarm contact and another R in series. the Texecom manual gives clear diagrams for each method.

it looks a step up from honeywell accenta to wire!!

just wanted to put a more pro system in and it has its advantages of telling you where the tamp fault is if there is one..

Telecom is a low grade alarm IMO, I got a lot of them and I find pyronix/Eaton to be the best. Been fitting 9651 alarms for quite some time now and far less problematic and simpler than texecom and other brands. I'd try it, instructions on ditto f are incredibly explanatory is it' for first and any other problems I can help you on here if you wish

yeah right ,I only fit texecom alarms .since they first came on the market.
I have had to replace 2X pyronix alarms last year alone.

I feel the exact same about texecom, installed them at first and had numerous faults

Texecom for me. 4K7 resistor in parallel across alarm and 2K2 resistor in series for tamper. Say you use yellow and blue as your zone wiring.... In the PIR take yellow to 1st alarm terminal with one leg of the 4K7 resistor twist the other leg of the 4K7 resistor with one leg of the 2K2 resistor and terminate it in the other alarm terminal, other leg of the 2K2 resistor goes into one of the tamper terminals and blue connects to the other tamper terminal. Buy the USB com lead, register as an installer and download Wintex. It's an absolute doddle to set the panel up with Wintex and takes only a few minutes. For the bell box go for the texecom odyssey X3. If the wall hasn't been plastered yet where the RKP is then buy the recessed back box and install a flush keypad as looks better. I normally put a Ricochet expander in as standard and use the ricochet micro door contacts as looks 10 x better than the usuall bulky door contacts you normally see. They are tiny and you don't have to staple a cable to it.

Another vote for Texecom Premier Elite panels, as Lee has already mentioned the Ricochet (wireless equipment) is brilliant if any additions/alterations are required at a later date.
