Texecom Premier Elite USB-Com Interface Connector | JAC-0001

USB PC Interface for Local Programming, Upload & Download of Compatible Texecom Alarm Control Panels

The Texecom JAC-0001 Premier Elite USB-Com Interface is a professional wired communication accessory designed to provide a direct USB connection between a compatible Texecom alarm control panel and a PC.

Ideal for professional alarm installers, commissioning engineers and service technicians, the USB-Com allows local upload and download of control panel programming data, providing a convenient way to configure and maintain compatible Texecom systems using PC-based software such as Wintex™ UDL.

The JAC-0001 connects to the computer through USB and to the compatible control panel communication port, providing a straightforward local programming connection without requiring a network or remote communications path.

It can also form part of the Premier Elite firmware flashing setup when used with the separately available Texecom CDH-0001 Premier Elite Flasher Interface, appropriate firmware and flashing software.

Direct Connection Between Control Panel & PC

The primary purpose of the Texecom JAC-0001 USB-Com is to establish a direct wired connection between a compatible Texecom alarm control panel and a computer.

Rather than relying on an IP network or remote communication module, the USB-Com allows the engineer to work locally at the alarm panel.

This makes it particularly useful during:

• Initial Alarm System Commissioning
• Control Panel Programming
• Existing System Maintenance
• Configuration Changes
• System Data Upload
• System Data Download
• Troubleshooting
• Firmware Upgrade Procedures

For professional installers who regularly commission and maintain Texecom alarm systems, the JAC-0001 is a useful programming and service accessory.

Local Upload & Download

Texecom officially specifies the JAC-0001 for local upload/download.

When connected to a compatible control panel and PC, the USB-Com provides the communications link required to transfer system programming data between the alarm panel and compatible PC software.

This allows engineers to work with system configurations using a computer rather than relying exclusively on keypad-based programming.

Designed for Use with Wintex™ UDL

The USB-Com can be used with Texecom Wintex™ UDL software for local programming and data transfer.

Wintex provides a PC-based environment for working with compatible Texecom control panels, allowing installers to upload existing panel programming, make appropriate configuration changes and download programming back to the system.

This can be particularly convenient on larger or more complex alarm installations where PC-based configuration provides a clearer overview of the system setup.

USB Connection to PC

The JAC-0001 provides a USB connection for the PC or laptop.

Published product information identifies the computer-side connection as USB Type-A, providing a familiar wired connection for compatible computers.

The interface is then recognised through the appropriate USB communications driver and assigned a communication port for use with compatible Texecom software.

5-Way Molex Control Panel Connection

On the control panel side, published technical information identifies a 5-way Molex connector.

This connects the USB-Com to the appropriate communication port on a compatible Texecom control panel.

The combination of USB on the PC side and the dedicated panel connector allows the JAC-0001 to act as the communication interface between the two devices.

Useful for Panel Programming & Commissioning

The JAC-0001 is particularly useful when commissioning compatible Texecom alarm systems.

Using a direct PC connection can make it easier for professional installers to work through system programming and maintain a clear record of the panel configuration.

It is also useful when returning to an existing installation for servicing, programming changes or system upgrades.

Suitable for System Backups

Using the USB-Com with compatible Texecom software allows panel programming information to be uploaded to a PC.

This is particularly valuable before carrying out major programming changes or compatible firmware updates.

Texecom's firmware upgrade documentation strongly recommends using Wintex UDL to upload and save the control panel data before flashing a Premier Elite control panel.

Maintaining an appropriate backup can help installers preserve a record of the existing system configuration before undertaking significant system work.

Use with the CDH-0001 Flasher Interface

The JAC-0001 USB-Com also plays an important role in firmware upgrades for compatible Premier Elite control panels.

Texecom's Premier Elite flash-upgrade procedure lists the following equipment:

• Flash Interface PCB
• USB-Com JAC-0001
• PC
• Premier Elite Flasher Software
• Appropriate Flash / Firmware Data File
• Wintex™ UDL Software

The separately available CDH-0001 Premier Elite Flasher Interface PCB is therefore used alongside the JAC-0001 as part of the appropriate firmware-upgrade process.

The JAC-0001 alone should not be described as the Premier Elite Flasher Interface; that function is provided by the separate CDH-0001 PCB.

JAC-0001 vs CDH-0001

Although the two products can be used together, the JAC-0001 and CDH-0001 perform different functions.

The distinction is:

• JAC-0001 – Premier Elite USB-Com: Provides the USB communication connection between a compatible control panel and PC for local upload/download and related servicing tasks.
• CDH-0001 – Premier Elite Flasher Interface: Specialist interface PCB used for updating compatible Premier Elite control panel firmware.

For a compatible Premier Elite firmware upgrade, Texecom's standard procedure specifies both the Flash Interface PCB and JAC-0001 USB-Com.

Alternative to the PC-Com Serial Interface

Texecom also offers the JAA-0001 PC-Com, which provides a local PC-to-panel communication connection using an RS232 serial interface.

The JAC-0001 USB-Com provides the USB alternative.

This makes the USB-Com particularly convenient where the computer being used for alarm programming has USB connectivity rather than a traditional RS232 serial port.

Wired Local Programming Connection

The JAC-0001 is a wired local interface.

It should not be confused with Texecom communication products intended to provide remote IP, Wi-Fi, mobile-app or alarm-signalling functionality.

Its purpose is to provide a direct communication path between the compatible alarm panel and a locally connected PC.

This makes it primarily an installer programming, commissioning and servicing tool.

Professional Installer Accessory

The Texecom Premier Elite USB-Com is particularly suited to professional security installers who regularly work with Texecom control equipment.

Typical users include:

• Intruder Alarm Installers
• Security System Engineers
• Alarm Maintenance Engineers
• Texecom Installers
• Security System Integrators
• Alarm Commissioning Engineers
• Professional Service Technicians

Having a direct USB communication interface available can make programming and servicing compatible Texecom systems considerably more convenient.

Important Firmware Upgrade Information

The JAC-0001 can form part of the Premier Elite firmware-upgrade setup, but it should not be confused with the firmware Flash Interface itself.

Texecom specifies the CDH-0001 Flash Interface PCB alongside the JAC-0001 USB-Com for its standard Premier Elite flashing procedure.

The appropriate Premier Elite Flasher software and firmware data file are also required.

Before performing an upgrade, Texecom recommends using Wintex UDL to upload and save all existing control panel data.

Important Compatibility Information

The Texecom JAC-0001 is designed for use with compatible Texecom control panels and appropriate Texecom software.

Compatibility should always be checked against the exact control panel model, panel firmware and intended software before use.

For firmware flashing specifically, the limitations of the Premier Elite flashing process also apply. For example, Texecom states that its Premier Elite flashing programme is not compatible with non-Elite Premier panels.

Always follow the current Texecom instructions for the particular control panel and programming task being undertaken.
