Texecom Wintex software guide - a quick-start for installers & engineers
Wintex is the PC software professional alarm installers use to install and commission Texecom Premier alarm panels. This quick-start guide covers creating a new account, connecting to a panel, zone programming and Global System Options.
Homeowner or business needing a Premier system installed or serviced, rather than installer notes? See our Texecom alarm installer page instead.

Creating a new account & connecting to a panel
Wintex sets up a new panel connection in six quick steps:
Open the “new” tab
Click the “new” tab in the top-left corner of Wintex to start a fresh account.
Name the account
Enter an account reference and a file name so the connection is easy to find again later.
Open panel details
Select the panel details tab to enter the information Wintex needs to talk to the panel.
Enter panel details
Input the panel type, software version, and UDL password for the system you're working on.
Click “add”
Save the account by clicking “add” - it's now stored in Wintex ready to connect.
Connect to the panel
Use the “connect” navigation button and select the correct COM port for the cable in use.
Zone programming & Global System Options
Tap either item below to expand it - Wintex is built to speed up the two areas that take the most time on the keypad.
Zone programming is handled from the zones section, accessed via the padlock tab. From there you can configure:
- Zone type
- Wiring
- Zone name
- Zone attributes
Some attributes are automatically added based on the zone type you select, which simplifies setup and reduces the chance of missing a required option on a busy job.
Rather than navigating menus on the physical keypad, Wintex presents Global System Options as tabbed screens with direct text entry. It's a straightforward change, but a significant time-saver when you're commissioning multiple panels in a day.
