Grade 3 Security for Professional Installations
The Premier Elite 24 Metal Control Panel is designed for professional intruder alarm systems requiring enhanced security functionality.
The control panel meets:
- EN 50131-1 Grade 3, Class II
- EN 50131-3 Grade 3, Class II
- UK PD 6662:2017 Grade 3, Class II
Grade 3 equipment is intended for security installations where a higher level of protection against potential intrusion and interference is required.
This makes the Texecom CAA-0004 particularly relevant to professionally designed security systems in commercial premises and higher-security residential applications.
The overall security grade of an installation depends on the complete system design and the suitability of all connected components.
Durable Metal Control Panel Enclosure
Unlike the polymer version of the Premier Elite 24, the CAA-0004 features a robust metal enclosure.
The metal housing provides a secure location for the control electronics, wiring connections and associated alarm system components.
Designed to be installed discreetly, the main control panel can be positioned away from everyday view while users operate the alarm through compatible keypads or connected applications.
This arrangement helps keep the security installation organised and protects the main control equipment from casual interference.
Two Independently Programmable Areas
The Premier Elite 24 supports 2 programmable alarm areas, allowing different sections of a property to be managed independently.
For example, an installation could be configured to provide separate security control for:
- A main residence and adjoining office
- Ground-floor and first-floor areas
- Retail premises and stockroom
- Office space and warehouse
- Commercial and residential sections of a building
This flexibility allows the alarm system to accommodate different occupancy patterns and security requirements.
Up to 25 Individual User Codes
The Texecom Premier Elite 24 supports 25 user codes, allowing authorised individuals to operate the system using their own credentials.
Individual codes can help installers and property managers establish controlled access to alarm functions.
This is particularly useful in shared properties, offices and commercial environments where multiple people require access to the security system.
500-Event Alarm History
The control panel incorporates a 500-event log, recording system activity with associated dates and times.
The event history can assist installers and authorised users when reviewing:
- Alarm activations
- System setting and unsetting
- Fault conditions
- Relevant security system events
- Maintenance and diagnostic information
A detailed event log can be valuable when investigating system activity or carrying out professional maintenance.
Compatible with Texecom SmartCom and SmartCom 4G
The Premier Elite 24 supports advanced communication functionality through compatible Texecom SmartCom and SmartCom 4G modules.
When the appropriate communicator and services are installed and configured, the system can support features such as:
- Remote alarm system management
- Compatible smartphone app functionality
- Remote diagnostics
- Remote programming and configuration
- Texecom Cloud connectivity
- Alarm notifications and monitoring options
Please note: SmartCom, SmartCom 4G and any associated subscriptions or services are separate requirements unless explicitly included in a particular product bundle.
The CAA-0004 control panel should not be assumed to include built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet or cellular communication without the appropriate additional hardware.
Wired and Wireless Security System Flexibility
The Premier Elite 24 provides a versatile platform for wired intruder alarm installations, with the ability to incorporate compatible wireless devices through suitable expansion equipment.
When paired with the appropriate Texecom Ricochet wireless expander, the system can support compatible wireless security devices.
This is particularly useful for:
- Extending an existing wired alarm installation
- Adding detectors where cable installation is difficult
- Refurbishment projects
- Properties requiring a combination of wired and wireless detection
The wireless capability depends on the compatible expander and overall system configuration.
Compatible with Texecom Keypads
The Premier Elite 24 can support up to 4 compatible keypads, allowing alarm operation from convenient locations throughout a property.
A keypad can be installed near a main entrance, while additional keypads can be positioned in other areas where users require alarm access.
Texecom's menu-driven programming interface also helps professional installers configure the system efficiently.
Compatible keypads are selected separately unless included in a specific alarm kit.
Remote Programming and Diagnostics
The Premier Elite platform supports professional programming and diagnostic tools, helping installers configure, maintain and troubleshoot alarm installations.
Depending on the installed communication hardware and configuration, compatible Texecom software and cloud services can provide remote access to supported maintenance functions.
This can help reduce unnecessary site visits and make ongoing alarm system management more convenient.
Energy-Efficient Power Supply
The Texecom Premier Elite 24 incorporates an energy-efficient switched-mode power supply designed to support reliable operation of the control panel and connected security equipment.
The control panel is designed for integration with a suitable standby battery arrangement to maintain system operation during a mains power interruption.
The battery type, capacity and required standby duration should be selected in accordance with the installation requirements and manufacturer's instructions.
