Texecom Security System

The Texecom security system must be configured to work with the Crestron Home system.

NOTE: The Premier Elite PC-COM cable (model JAA-0001) is required for communications between the security system and the Crestron Home control processor or PC. Using a different cable or a cable from a third-party may cause connection issues.

Models

These Texecom security systems are supported:

  • Premier Elite 48
  • Premier Elite 88
  • Premier Elite 168

NOTE: The systems listed above support keypad emulation. They do not support an area list for systems that support areas, area control to arm or disarm the system (including storing the password on the UI device), programming area arm or disarm events, and triggering area commands from button or trigger events via scenes.

Wiring

Use the Premier Elite PC-COM cable (model JAA-0001) to communicate with a Crestron Home control processor or PC.

Connect to a Control Processor

To connect the security system to the control processor:

  • Connect the PC-COM cable to the COM2 port on the security system.
  • Connect the PC-COM cable to a COM (RS-232) port on the control processor, PYNG-CONNECT-COM, or other Crestron device in the system with a COM (RS-232) port.

    NOTES:

    • It may be necessary to modify the PC-COM cable to make the connection to the RS-232 port.
    • To preserve the PC-COM cable, modify a standard serial cable (DB9) to make the connection between the cable and the control processor. To modify the cable, cut one end off of the serial cable and then wire it to a terminal block connector (Green - Ground; Orange - TX; Red - RX).

Connect to a PC

To connect the security system to a PC:

  • Connect the PC-COM cable to the COM1 port on the security system.
  • Connect the PC-COM cable to a COM port on your PC.

    NOTE: You can use a USB-to-COM adapter to make the connection.
