OK Thanks. It's in the bin.

Never mind, found the screw behind the strobe light!! Saved it from the happer/hammer

Spot on!!

I'm about to replace my old alarm system with a Texecom. Looking at the old external bell, there doesn't appear to be any visiable means of fastening - can't see any caps etc that may be covering the screws. Could it just be a pushed on?? The cover is completely faded so no manufacturers names! I can just take a happer to it but wanted to remove it properly - then can use it as a dummy at the back of the house. Thanks.

Thanks @sixwheeledbeast. Did that plus more (see reply to @secureiam ) but still no go.

@secureiam Address switch is set to 1 but I tried 2 as well. On the panel side Tx is solid on and Rx is flashing On the 8XP Rx (Data from Panel) pulses - about once a second) Tx (Data to panel) is OFF Yes, the wiring from the Panel is connected to "Network In" On the possibility I had done something wrong, I swapped the wiring around with the Keypad. Keypad still works but 8xp is still not working. And each time I make a change I "Confirm Device" in the Engineers Utils on the keypad but when I check the status on the keypad it still shows Expander 1 Offline as does Wintex diagnostics. I'm starting to think the 8XP has a fault - what do you think? Thanks for your help.

Yes, went into the Engineers options and confirmed devices. Strange thing is that while it displays a 1 against the RKP , the EXP is all dots. I've tried setting the Expander to Network device 1 and 2. Thanks

Hi, I'm bench testing my new alarm system. Have a Premier Elite 24, LCDP Keypad, COM-IP, Premier DT PIR. The panel is working with the keypad and PIRS (tried contecting a couple of them). I can connect using Wintex from my PC to the panel and program it. I got a Premier Elite 8XP remote expander. I connect it to the panel to the Network connectors (same place the keypad is connected) and power up. The 8XP powers up but doesn't connect to the network (Wintex diagnostics tell me it's offline). Also the LEDs on the 8XP are : LED A: Flashing LED B: Off LED C: On According to the manual LED B off means "Network Out not Connected" which matches the diagnostic display in Wintex. I can't see anything in Wintex to 'turn on' the device. Have I missed something? Edit: Forgot to say I set the jumpers to Star wiring and I thought maybe the wire is defective so I tried replacing with a different wire.
