    Texecom Elite 24 control panel Resetting to factory settings.

    That's a bit annoying that they don't help an existing customer out! I can default boards for you if that helps. I had a board myself and the company that installed it locked out the NVM then promptly went bust. No point ripping out a perfectly good alarm eh! ;)
