Hi
Sorry to bother you all but am in a bit of a mess. Long story short, but have a Texecom Premier Elite 24 that came with the house we brought a while back. The box was on V2.00 firmware and we only had codes to set the alarm due to the previous owner not passing info on as promised. We left it alone for a while but am building an extension at the side of the house and rather than extend all the cables that go to the alarm, it would have seemed to be easier to move the Alarm box itself.
Fast forward to today.
I removed the cables one by one, labelled and tagged them as to where they connected, moved the box, and connected them back up bar two cables and the Bell (which no matter what insisted on running for 20 mins) I had to repair one cable as it was damaged by the builders, and connected that and all great.
To get over the issues of unknowns I reset the box to defaults, brought the flashing cables and flashed the firmware to V4.01. I had the foresight to copy all the zone settings and manually entered these as was before. Also added a comip module that a work friend gave me and watched a Youtube video to get that working.
And now the issues.
One of the cables, goes to a door sensor, this has two resistors in it and two cable connecting it to the alarm unit. This is the only cable that will not reach the box, but it will reach the LCDP keypad which I see has two zones. I connect one wire to the T side and one to the A (but 4 connecters per A and T side per zone unlike the alarm which just has two connectors) I remapped the Keypad zone 1 to port Z24 which doesn't exist on the main board but cannot get it to respond as Double Pole /EOL however, normally closed means it does cause issues but will not chime even when I set it to. Have I wired it up wrong somewhere. Am learning this as I go along so if I have been stupid, please tell me
Secondly, I have not reconnected the bell just yet until I get these issues sorted as I cannot make it stop going off (until the 20 mins passes, tried the strobe thing) I get a Bell Tamper, which is fine but also currently have an auxilary tamper alert which I didn't before. I can remove it in the settings from alerting me but suspect that something is wrong.
thirdly (Sorry) we had a bedtime setting that instantly set, and chimed, waited 5 seconds and then chimed again. It only chimes once now but take a long while to do so.
Fourthly, the speaker on the Alarm unit is barely audible, I tried another speak and this too is very low. is there a setting for this or is there an issue with the board?
Is there anywhere that lists what the default settings would be, so many tick boxes and trying to find out what they all do and even best ways to configure things are not easy to find and I am loathe to throw away what could be a good alarm if I can resolve all of this.
Thanks in advance if you can help
Nick
