Hello,

 

Have reciently come across a large installation that has a Texecom Premier 48 on one side of the building and a Texecom Premier Elite 48 panel on the other side.  Both panels are linked via the 4 wire data network, along with keypads and expanders etc. 

 

Thing is, I can find no reference to panel linking in the installation manual?  How are the panels configured and how to they behave?  I've installed a small Premier 48 system before, but with just the single main panel and a bunch of zones hung from it via an expander.

 

This particular system in question is using a Premier 48 as one panel and a Premier Elite for the other.  One panel also has a GSM dialler module and the other uses a POTS (analogue) dialler.  Are the panels working as a kind of redundant/fallover system?

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Most likely two separate systems.

Connecting two via data isn't a thing AFAIK, certainly not supported if somehow that is the case.

The only system I know that did this was the old castle stuff multiple end stations was called a 2900 to begin with then a multi 2500 or 2700. I'd go with 6 it's probably not linked

Thanks for the replies.  They are definatly linked, as I've traced the cabling.  Needed to replace a couple of damaged detectors reciently and ended up tracing all of the cabling and documenting the system layout for future use.  The two panels are linked together via the data bus, along with a couple of keypads inbetween.

I can't see it being supported configuration at all but plausible that the expanders could be "understood" by both panels they wouldn't be "linked" in that sense tho.

You going to try on the bench ? 

 

Or to busy

Don't have any Pre Elite panels they're for the bin if they get ripped out TBH.
