secureiam Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 its not so easy to accidental lock the panel on the premier (not impossible though). looks like its covered. the gsm com just make sure you have a very good signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) 2 x Exodus OH optical/heat sensors (may as well fit them while I'm at it) Also toying with getting a ComGSM unit. Flat out at work so I have till end of month to read install manual a few times to make sure I don't **** anything up this time. Unlike the Excel you may not get an installation manual in the box, professional panel generally don't provide manuals as they expect you to know what your doing. You maybe lucky enough to get one with a CD inside and therefore pdf manual. ComGSM can be tricky to setup correctly and strong signal strength is a must. Best to use a contract sim if possible as PAYG topping up can be an issue. As with any this type of private reporting there is no polling so not fool proof security wise. Exodus smoke detectors work well, however, an intruder alarm is best for intruder not fire for safety reasons.

Not 100% convinced I'm going down this route TBH. Exodus smoke detectors work well, however, an intruder alarm is best for intruder not fire for safety reasons. Considering it's a home diy install it's better than £9.99 twin pack smoke alarms from Asda and if it wasn't safe Texecom surely wouldn't have the option to add them to the panel? (I called their tech support for advice of best ones to use indoors). I understand for a pro install/warehouse etc they would not be the best option but for me it's something else I don't need to change batteries on or a unit with a low battery waking me up at 2am to a constant bleeping Comments much appreciated though and point taken Edited March 12, 2015 by sixwheeledbeast removed link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Something like this then?Well yes that is an old version. Engineers manuals are not posted for security reasons.

Really a fire alarm system or mains interlinked would be best here to keep with the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
