I want to fit a new alarm panel to existing system (Ed.)
- Thread starter Comfy
- Start date
You tell us …. ? Are they the smoke detectors ?
.? Why are you flashing the old panel ?
Mainly for no more than learning just trying to learn about all aspects of it...plus if its on the latest firmware then it might sell on ebay...
If I could flash it once it's off that'd be great...but I think I need a keypad for that...plus I would like to flast the wireless one to for the same reasons...
I noticed that some people have a keypad by the panel...could be a good idea for convenience..?

Elite panel flash yes
old version 1 premier 48 no as the firmware won’t be compatible and I suspect the old Premier firmware would need to be obtained from Texecom and it might only go as far as version 3 or 5 of the old Premier firmware for the version of panel you have but you woukd have to check with Texecom.

Version 9 was the last of the non elite firmware
Officially 9.02, but version 10 pre elite was around from memory but not general release.
Version 5 and version 7 if memory serves me correctly there were changes to the board hence why it may not work above a much lower version but would have to ask Texecom’s for the firmware in any case.
Did have some notes somewhere but well archived away as memory can play tricks the further back you go.

Nvm chip size ? If I recall
Cool...ok - ill ask Texecom (theyve been really helpful) hopefully they can send me the latest firmware (for the old panel) - my flasher has still not turned up yet... hopefully soon!!
(What about an additional keypad by the panel) ?
Another question: Ive now created a card/template thingy for the old panel....am i right in saying thats the config now backed up...and once i remove the old panel and install the new one (with all the same wiring transposed over) i can upload the old config to the new panel...so ive got starting point??

Apologies it’s 7.7 version firmware ??
You would need to request the 9.02 Premier 48 firmware from Texecom. Also need the premier flasher software and not the elite flasher firmware. The flashing equipment is the same
Thought it said 1.1, menu 4 on keypad would confirm that.
You can copy the settings to another profile for the elite and then send across. But not send the old data across.

Hi there. I just went back through the emails from texecom and they have in fact sent me the old flasher software (so im guessing the firmware package i need is in there)?
Ill be doing this on the weekend, purely for the reason that i expect something to happen which i didnt expect to happen as im in kinda unknown territory....
Once ive flashed the old panel, im guessing that factory resets it? (assuming it does then if that all goes well, at that point ill pull it out and wire the new one in)?
Flasher cable turned up this morning so ive got no excuses now!

Texecom have videos on this but you have to default the panel if manually flashing.
Watch the texecom you tube video to see what’s involved
