Upgrade from old Pyronix Sterling to Texecom Elite question

Featured Replies

Hi all, apologies for only joining for a bit of advice, but here I am.  My Pyronix Sterling 10 keypad was dying, so I've replaced the whole system with a Texecom Premier Elite.  I'm happy I've wired just about everything correctly, testing the zones on the keypads shows that all the door sensors and PIRs are operating properly.  The tamper circuit is in series (I may change to EOL later once I understand exactly how to do it) and I have tested that, it works fine.

 

I do not know how to wire the bell.  Unfortunately I'd have to hire a ladder to get to it, so I can't see the terminals on the bell or who manufactured it, but I can show you the terminals and wiring used at the Pyronix control panel.  The attached image is of the Pyronix.

 

The connections on the Pyronix control panel are: blue - B+.  Red+yellow - B-.  Green - STB.  White - BA.  Black - BT.

 

The terminals on the Texecom control panel are: STRB, 0V, Tamp, Bell+, 12V.

 

From the factory, the control panel speaker +ve terminal was connected to that 12V terminal.  And a wire link was placed bridging 0V and Tamp.

 

Currently, I have blue (B+) connected to Bell+ and red+yellow (B-) connected to 0V.  The bell seems happy with this as it isn't blaring away as it would with no power, but when I run a bell test from the keypad, it remains silent.  And I haven't connected the strobe.

 

Can anyone help?

Where's the bell trigger on the texe?

I assume it's bt for bell trigger on the pyronix

Edited by al-yeti

 

So the black bt if it's the bell trigger then it has to go to the bell output on the texe I don't the texe but would have thought it's obvious

I think you got it wrong somewhere , picture of panel connections please? Texe experts will turn soon the firmware suitcases

Apologies for the poor quality but this is what the Texecom panel looks like.  When I took this photo I was in the midst of wiring up the keypad, the bell is the last bit to do (terminals on extreme left).  The identifying characters are printed beneath each terminal (the writing above is for jumper links).

 

I'd take a better picture but I've closed it up for now, I have to leave for work in a few hours.

Ok so earlier you didn't mean to write bell+

 

It's bell then +12v 

 

So the terminal bell is the bell trigger 

 

So just to go from panel to panel if that makes sense

 

Bt is tamp

BA is trigger

B+ is 12v

STB is strobe

B- is 0v

 

I think lol

Also you should go for eol now rather than later otherwise you won't do it 

 

And get a ladder for the bellbox learn to balance with drill screwdriver and bellbox

Is one of the wires coming back to "B-" on the Pyronix board likely to be the return from the tamper then?

Edited by PyronixTexecom guy

No b- isn't tamper return , look at list

 

A wire that came back to bt was the tamper return possibly black if nothing was changed from your original picture
