How to upgrade your Texecom Premier alarm
Your Texecom Premier Elite alarm panel is already one of the most capable systems on the market, so most upgrades simply add to what's installed rather than replacing it. As AMCO are upgrade specialists, here are the three main routes we recommend:
Add app control
Add a SmartCom module and control your alarm remotely with the Texecom Connect app.
See the app guideUpdate your keypad
Swap your existing keypad for a modern LCD or touchscreen keypad design.
View keypad designsAdd wireless devices
Add a wireless expander to create a hybrid system, mixing your existing wired sensors with new wireless ones.
These are the three main ways our engineers upgrade an existing Premier system - usually without disturbing any of your existing wiring.

Using your Premier alarm, day to day
Tap any instruction below to expand it - from full and part setting, to changing your code, running a walk test and viewing the event log.
Enter your four digit user code and confirm with [YES]. This arms every zone across the whole system. E.g. press 1234 then [YES].
Press [PART], then select the part set you want using [1] - [3], and confirm with [YES] or [CHIME]. This arms only the zones included in that part set.
Press [AREA], select the zone(s) you want to set using [1] - [8], then press [YES] to confirm.
Navigate to the area with [AREA], select the zone(s) with [1] - [8], then press [PART] and confirm with [YES] or [CHIME].
Enter your four digit user code and press [YES] when prompted.
Enter your code to view which zone(s) caused the activation, then press [RESET].
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW] button to navigate to “Change User Code?”, enter your new code, confirm with [YES], then press [RESET] to exit.
Enter your code and press [OMIT], then enter the zone number(s) you want to bypass, pressing [OMIT] after each one. Press [MENU] to return to the main screen.
Press [CHIME]. The panel toggles the chime tone that sounds whenever a chime zone is opened.
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW] button to navigate to “Edit Chime Zones”, enter the zone number(s), pressing [NO] to cycle through the available options for each. Press [MENU] then [RESET] to exit.
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW]button to navigate to “Do Walk Test?”, select the area(s) you want to test using [1] - [8], then press [YES].
It's best to do this with two people - one watching the keypad and one walking round the property triggering each sensor. Press [MENU] then [RESET] to exit.
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW] button to navigate to “View system log?” - the same [ARROW] button scrolls through the entries, [AREA] toggles extra detail on each one, and [PART] displays the associated zone tests. Press [MENU] then [RESET] to exit.
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW] button to navigate to “Set System Time?”, enter the time as HH:MM (24 hour clock), then press [RESET] to toggle between BST and GMT. Confirm with [YES], then press [RESET] to exit.
Enter your code, press [MENU], then [YES]. Use the [ARROW] button to navigate to “Set System Date?”, enter the date as DD/MM/YY, confirm with [YES], then press [RESET] to exit.
