3MSW Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Last year we moved into a new house and a neighbour offered to install a Texecom burglar alarm for us. They gave us a kit list from Security Warehouse which we have bought comprising: 1x Texecom Premier Elite 24 Polymer control panel (CAA-0026) 1x Texecom Premier Elite LCDLP keypad (DBD-0168) 5x Texecom Prestige Elite AMQD Plus sensors (AFA-0001) 1x Texecom Premier Elite Odyssey 5 Backplate 1x Texecom Premier Elite Odyssey 5/5E white/blue cover 5x Texecom Tags / Fobs (PKK001) 1x Knight plastic D20 5 terminal surface contact 1x Enersys 12v 3.4 A/h Battery Since buying the kit (last August!) we've chased them to get it fitted to no avail and are giving up on them. Does anyone know a reputable domestic installer familiar with Texecom who covers the PR26 area of Lancashire? Quote
PeterJames Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Nobody is likely going to want to install kit they have not supplied, it becomes a pain if it goes wrong with all sorts of warranty issues. Quote
secureiam Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Certainly is the case and your on the edge of where I would cover. Quote
3MSW Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 As it looks like I'm not going to be able to get anyone to fit this kit, I opened the boxes and had a quick look at the instructions with a view to fitting it myself instead of simply throwing it away which seems to be the alternate option. At first glance I was petrified but having looked at the wiring diagrams and read through lots of posts on this website I'm beginning to understand how it all goes together. A couple of things are totally baffling me though and I can't find answers to them: 1). The AMDQ Plus detectors that the chap told me to get have a 'jumper' setting switch in them, is this just to tell the detector which resistors you are going to connect up or does the AMDQ Plus sensor have the resistors already pre-wired into them with the jumper being there so you can select which ones you want? 2). If you connect everything up, put the battery in the control panel and power it up how much programming is required and can it be done via the keypad? Quote
Rulland Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Yes to both questions, although progging using the keypad can be longwinded, especially for a newbie to it. Quote
3MSW Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 Sorry, but when you say 'yes' to the first question is that 'yes' the resistors are pre-wired or 'yes' you have to wire your own resistors in? Quote
sixwheeledbeast Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 Jumpers in the PIR's to set the resistors Quote
