Matt Ward Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Hi, I am replacing a Castle Care-tech to a Texecom Premier 24. From my experience, the Castle panel uses a 1k(CCT) and a 13k(A/T) resistor for EOL. The texecom panel uses two 1k resistors. There are about 14 zones on the existing panel. I'm giving this guy a price for the upgrade, but I cannot remember if there is an option in the Premier 24 to change the EOL resistor values. Do I have to go round all the devices and swap out the resistors? Thanks for any help! Matt (I am a trade member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveboy Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 You will have to change the resistors I think texecom use 2k2 EOL & 4K7 SHUNT be carefull to check that the castle panel is not using ID biscuits as they may be some rewiring involved.

Matt Ward Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 be carefull to check that the castle panel is not using ID biscuits as they may be some rewiring involved. Damn, didn't think of that! It's not a 2200/2300 or 2700. The keypad looks like this... http://www.castle-caretech.com/pdfs/1600.pdf (it might not actually be a 1600, could be a 1700. I cannot remember the difference) ...but you're quite right, didn't think of biscuits. 14 Zones seems alot of zones for a small panel?

Matt shouldn't need any rewiring even if it is ID, i know gardtec do a id expander and i'm sure texecom do a 30 point id expander for the premier aswell.

breff Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Version 8 software allows definable eol resistors, options are: 1k/1k, 4k7/6k8, 2k2/4k7 and 4k7/4k7. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave the alarm man Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 The keypad looks like this... not lcd?, the plastic's are used for panels that don't use 1 & 13's unless you know what the product is Version 8 software allows definable eol resistors, options are: 1k/1k, 4k7/6k8, 2k2/4k7 and 4k7/4k7. on the 48 upwards yet? zone by zone or gobal?

alterEGO Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 On the 24 upwards, zone by zone that is a good idea, i'm gonna ask risco to think about that. how long has version 8 been out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anguscanplay Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 that is a good idea, i'm gonna ask risco to think about that. how long has version 8 been out? don`t take that long to swop some resistors, plus it means you get to check inside the device too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
