Its been 15 years + since I retired and I used fit and work on Gardtec and Honeywell Galaxy systems without trouble.

However my brain box must have really slowed more than I realised because the Texecom Elite panel, expander and kp I have purchased to replace an old set up has me pulling my hair out.

I have it operating on my bench only in a basic state I cannot find my way around the programming at all, I have the full installation manual.

Is their anyone who lives in or around the Leeds Bradford area who is familiar with the Elite and would be kind enough to assist me in setting it up on the bench, then I can install the system myself in my home.

It is to be a bells only system.

I will be very happy to reimburse them for time and trouble.

TBF I found the Texecom a great panel, but, with so much progress, updates and extra features since it was first launched almost impossible to program without using a PC.

I can't imagine myself doing it from scratch using the keypad, too many cryptic 'stars underneath acronyms' to indicate options etc... At least the Eaton lets you scroll through

each feature as a Yes/No type option etc... Also even the basic ones could be progged via a browser page on your home network.

 

I don't live near you - I think you may struggle to find someone prepared to work with you in that way, although, good luck!

Perhaps list your problems here and they can answer a question at a time , swb and some others are good with texe so can give you accurate answers 

Thank you both for your comments, yesterday I have managed on my own to crack the system apart at the moment from one thing.

So following al-yeti suggestion here it is.

I have 16 zones all working as required in the full set A mode, the system allows for 2 separate areas which should be able to be set individually or together.

I req. zones 11 and 12 to be in the second area, so I can arm them on their own or arm them when req. with the rest in full set.

I have been unable to achieve so far, can anyone take me step by step to set this up.  

Zone Setup > Select Zone you want > Area    Clear the (Area) A and replace with B using 1 and 2 keys. Repeat

Areas may not be the best way to achieve what you want. Areas you should consider as separate self contained alarm systems controlled from one panel where as you may want part sets.

I have tried the above programming  but it does not work.

When I try to arm the second area B all the system does is a quick audible squawk and returns to unarmed.   

Keypad and user needs permissions to arm those areas.

It's default setup to have separate keypads for separate areas.

Thank you for your reply, how do I programme the system to give me permissions to use one kp.

They need to be in Areas A and B a bit like what you did in Zone Setup but in Keypad and User
