Looks good to me.

 

 

Rulland  .... Mind you it looked good the first time LOL          

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.

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.

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

Well yes that is an old version.

Engineers manuals are not posted for security reasons.

I agree with you, especially the beeping and batteries, but there are reasons why fire should be fire.

Really a fire alarm system or mains interlinked would be best here to keep with the rules.
