Texecom Premier Elite can't disarm

It's not a customer facing interface so I don't see it as an issue. If done via Smartcom and engineers Cloud account, you avoid this issue as well. -
Can I safely cut the wires on the sensor
sixwheeledbeast replied to Wendy Whitworth's topic in Members Lounge (Public)
Possibly but it's hard to say if it was fully decommissioned correctly when they came out to silence it all those years ago. The alarm wires should be low voltage so your not likely to get a shock from a PIR, if that's what you mean by safe. I have been to a job were someone had suppose to "decommission" a system, all they did was remove the power to the internal siren, bell trig and keypad... PIR's and bell were still powered. -

I don't believe so no. There are two options either PC via flasher interface board or via cloud and Smartcom. To move the site profile you connect to the panel COM port reading/writing the NVM, for firmware there is a interface board that sits between the PC and flash on a programming port. If the firmware on the flash is corrupt to the point that you can't put the panel into flashing mode or you can't push any firmware because the panel doesn't respond, then you have a bricked panel. -

The Texecom Cloud has to cover it's costs somehow. Glitches are not normal they are usually a hint to something failing or not setup correctly when it comes to Ricochet. Messing with Wintex is obviously an engineers facility. Messing with firmware or site profiles comes with a risk of a non working system if you mess up. Firmware flash goes wrong you usually end up with a brick. -

Yes. I personally wouldn't use any profiles and start fresh. Those saved ones maybe corrupt but you could TIAS if you know what your doing. -
1) In most cases yes but updating them should be considered. I would usually say on a takeover upgrade ideal is to replace the electronics and test the wiring is sound for re-use. 2) Forget the Gardtec if you need to update. It EOL, better to replace at your convenience before your forced to by a failure.

Assuming it was only a Wintex programming update and not a firmware update then defaulting and reprogramming would fix this corruption. I'd have probably been considering defaulting and recommissioning the Ricochet stuff if you had weird issues anyway. -
What does your insurer require is a good starting point.

Double pole is six wires...

They are double pole unless it's a plus. If your an installer you can get the manual on Texecoms website, that covers panels after 2000.

TIAS? There is no guarantee a siren with a working battery even if un-enrolled isn't going to trigger at some point in the future.

Fully working systems when the external siren is disconnected from the control panel this will trigger the siren. You may find it doesn't but to decommission a system you would usually get up to the siren. These things are not designed to be defeated easily.
