Texecom Premier Elite 24 Guard Access

[Tex24]

To all those who replied to my post thank you. I know that i did not reply to all of them but i needed to focus on one line of action which for a newbie was quite intensive.

The fault has been cleared now and for those interested enough i will report back after walk tests and part arm etc are completed.

i am not entirely clear why it became good however at the moment i would surmise that it was not a configuration reason, however i had configured it incorrectly and only because of indispensable generous technical assistance from Secureiam  is it now configured correctly.

Eh?

Anyway glad your sorted.

Update, he had changed a lot of settings without understanding there implications and just put things back to how they should be with the zones programed for the appropriate function and wiring type.

 

So the panel was arming in 10 seconds (instant), exit settle time was set to 10 seconds, rather than the 30 seconds programed for exit. if you hadn't exited within the exit settle time the panel was failing to arm, if leaving immediately after starting the arming process the alarm panel set.

 

Picked up by listening to the arming process over the phone. Not always easy to convey via forum or email.

 

Problem at that point was keypad having a different address than they thought and that keypad address had no area assigned (so trying to arm instantly), assigned keypad to area A and then it behaved as it needs to.

 

20 + plus zones wired up eol, given other posts on here don't sound so bad from a complete diyer.

Over and above the call of duty possibly for a forum, phone calls etc, just saying-my take only, any views anyone?.

[secureiam]

I understand and agree to a point, however I probably look at this issue differently to you, I certainly know my time was wisely spent.

Not a dig mate, just wandered why tbh.

Whoopee!! I have a superb fully working Texecom system. I can recite the Texecom installation manual off by heart but I still do not understand how it works.

just a note about importing profiles from defaults or third parties.

If you have correctly addressed two keyboards to your panel and these addresses are working fine but are not default eg) Add1 and Add 3.

When importing a profile from defaults or third parties, then those addresses will be changed to Add1 and Add2 which would of course then be a mismatch.

This is something while simple in concept  may not be something which is picked up or checked  from the profile sender or the profile receiver.

I am still documenting my journey from faulty to good  installation and will post again when complete. This may help Newbies and their issues . ( I  am now an expert of course. LOL)

Tex24, did you ever resolve this?

I installed my alarm (Premier24) a few years ago. I recently knocked two downstairs rooms in to one so had a ‘redundant’  PIR. It was a simple re-route to have the PIR look at the bottom of the stairs, the idea being to set it to Guard Access so would set off the timed entry warning to remind me/the kids to disable the Part Alarm as they go downstairs (too many false triggers when they forget). 
 

l now have the same issue whereby if knset the Part Alarm and still still by the keypad all is good, once set if l move the entry warning triggers and l can unset the alarm without triggering it. 
The problem is that if l Part Set the alarm and then walk past the PIR on my way to the stairs the alarm won’t set and it comes up with a ‘Zone 1 (Hallway) alarm fail’??  
It seems that when the PIR is triggered, it stays triggered for 3-4 seconds before the LEDs go off again. If the LEDs are alight as the alarm sets, it comes up with an Alarm Fail. 
 

l think an easy solution/get around would be to delay the Part Arm set, this would allow me to walk past the PIR, triggering it and then allowing the 3 second delay for the LEDs to drop off, but l can’t seem to find this on the keypad menu. That said, l don’t know why l can’t set the Part Arm with the Hallway PIR triggered when set to Guard Access as surely that’s what’s for...?? (by the way, all my attributes are */off)

You can't that would defeat the object of the alarm.

 

All devices to be armed in the system must be secure to arm. This is what part set arming delay is for.

Also you say Hallway is Zone 1 Guard Access, do you have any other devices on the entry route?
