[Remember these?]

Not seen these for years they were only ever composite and the batteries drained out very quick to be useful.

Still being sold on bird/animal watching websites but expensive for what they are IMO.

[Panel query]

Powermax before they were Visionic?. Seen the odd one branded as other things.

No idea if they use a similar manual. It will be 1 way wireless and for the bin anyway.... 

[PIR Issue]

I would always use sensors with sealed optics to avoid any possibility of this.

Optex, Bosch, Texe Capture are some examples.

 

You need to diagnose if it's the system or the environment if you want to work it out.

Proper engineers would do this, some would just without diagnosis throw a sensor at it and escape on their horse....

 

[PIR Issue]

Check the voltage, connections and cable are good.

Consider replacing the sensor.

[GP1006]

It's DIY stuff I doubt many here will have fitted it.

I would look on the label of the DVR to see if it says how much current it requires.

Then you can work out which is correct.

 

[Yes or no. Sounder volume can be adjusted on an ADT galaxy panel.]

It would likely need an installer reset on any tampers if it was under contract in the past.

You wouldn't have the engineer code as an end user.

Consider having an installer take it over and service it.

They can program it how you want and you have a record it's operational and fit for purpose.

 

[Yes or no. Sounder volume can be adjusted on an ADT galaxy panel.]

Installer should be able to make the part set silent.

Which model Galaxy?

[Help with re flashing or replacing unit not sure on exact model]

I'd get rid, flaky Risco stuff.

But yes it's totally wireless detection so replace devices too.

 

[Texecom Soak Test.]

From what I remember it replaces the banner message with TEST FAILED upon failure, this will display until engineer reset.

 

Not something used often as you loose the detection while it's on soak.

[Test which cores go to a siren in hard to reach area]

Trail and error to find +ve/-ve, then use meter and further testing on a -ve to locate the rest?

A company would decommission the siren and resite at an accessible location, not recommission a box you can't access safely.

Advice appreciated.

 

I will not be installing!

 

Many thanks.

 

Then products are irrelevant, your installer of choice will use their own preferred manufacturers.

They will have trained on that kit so asking them to fit something else is not the best idea.

You should get at least 3 quotes go with the company you feel the most comfortable with, not based on solely the quote price.

I'd usually replace all the electronics, but you don't mention age or models of kit.

If it's a really old Premier I'd bin it anyway.

 

4 zones, 3 sirens and 3 exits, seems the weirdest system in the world...

I see Texecom tat ?

Where?

[Newbie question...PIR compatibility]

If you get the same manufacturer as the panel you will have EOL OOTB.

I don't really rate those cheap Honeywells, some nice quads will be much more reliable.

Much better down the line to have end-of-line than double pole to diagnose faults.

 

[Newbie question...PIR compatibility]

Should be compatible if you wired as double pole with commoned tampers.

I'd probably replace them.

[Tat in Habitat]

Lidl bakery useful. Aldi don't like at all.

[Tat in Habitat]

Morrisons is a bit posh for up here... Heron or Farmfoods maybe?

I have the same problem... Can you help in correcting this

So you've proven the wiring and that it's likely the programming...

Yes, you should always default them from new.

 

[Texecom Premier 24 Chime Setting.]

I don't know of any panel that would chime on close.

Yep, as above using a Mimic output and some other logic like a toggle relay or custom outputs would be the way to go.

[Pyronix Enforcer replacement speech dialler after BT digital landline]

Then I would suggest monitoring in that case.

 

[Texecom Premier Extension Speaker Wiring.]

Like most sounders the Twin alert manual has the wiring instructions for different manufacturers.

 

Aux Tamp / Aux Tamp / Bell / Spk- / 0V / +12V

[Ryan Godfrey]

Not used one.

Is the strike time really short?

Does the strike lock require the same voltage as the KP?

Have you tested your findings with a multimeter?

Is it just not wired correctly or some other simple mistake?

[Another Premier Elite Question.]

It does both. Allowing walk through for Full set and switching to entry for Part sets.

[How Long Should it Take a New Alarm Battery to Charge?]

As JW stated the charging rate is in the standard.

Larger premier panels have a charging rate selection jumper so you can adjust the rate depending on the battery and make sure it conforms.

 

[PowerMaster 10 – Trouble resetting after power cut]

If you keep pressing the info/OK button it should run through the faults.

If the faults are clear it will let you arm/disarm to clear.

[texecom Premier Elite 64-W Takes 1 - 3 minutes befor sounding my alarm]

Yep I'd also assume the PIR's are in Auto and sleeping.

Door contacts shouldn't do that unless you have programmed them incorrectly. They default to always awake.
