System Overview

1. New Features

With Version 8 Software, the capacity of the Premier 640
has been significantly enhanced.
The new panel can accommodate up to 500 users and 64
areas.
In order to manage the additional capacity, some changes
to the programming have been made which are briefly
described in this section.

Area Profiles

Area profiles are used to group areas together into suites
this is a useful way to identify any number of areas which
belong to a single entity such as a company or floor in a
multi-occupancy building.
80 Area profiles are provided each of which can be
programmed with any combination of 64 areas.
Each area profile can be named to relate it to the installation.
Each zone is then allocated to an area profile in the same
way as they were previously assigned to an area.
Area profiles can also be allocated to users, keypads and
expanders in the same way as was previously done with
areas.

User Profiles

The panel provides 32 user profiles for managing the
functions and features available to different types of users.
There are a number of predefined user profiles by default
which may well satisfy all the requirements of an installation.
Two profiles, Engineer and Master are required to have
particular features and are not editable, the remaining 30
can be customized by the Engineer or Various users
depending on the specific settings.
A user profile defines the functions and features available to
a particular type of user.
Once a user profile has been defined it can be allocated to
any number of individual users.
This approach simplifies the programming of users in a large
system as the profile only has to be set up once, then it is a
simple matter for the profile to be applied to a particular
group of users.
Using user profiles has the advantage that any changes can
be applied to the profile once and they will automatically be
applied to any user allocated to the profile.

Access Profiles

One of the functions provided by Texecom Alarm Panels is
door control, allowing electronic door locks to be activated
by designated outputs on keypads or proximity units.
The 640 provides 99 access profiles, each defining how
access is granted to any combination of up to 64 door
controls.
Access profiles are programmed and allocated in a similar
way to user profiles, but are allocated to individual users
independently of the user profile.

User Programming

To program a user it is necessary first to program the user,
area and access profiles.
Set up the user and program a user code, then allocate the
appropriate profiles.
If at some later stage it is necessary to make changes, either
change the appropriate profile, (which will effect all users
allocated to the profile) allocate different profile which
matches the new requirement or program a new profile and
allocate it to the user.
Each user can have any combination of user, area and
access profiles.

Default Settings

All users are assigned to Area Profile 80 (All System Areas).
Users are also set to 'No Door Access' by default.
Area Profiles 1-64 are each assigned to an individual area,
(Profile 01 to area A1, Profile 02 to area A2 and so on to
Profile 64 assigned to area H8.
Area Profile 00 is defaulted as no areas and Profile 80 is all
areas.
All zones are assigned to Area Profile 1 (Area A1).
Access Profiles 1 -64 are each assigned to an individual
door (Profile 01 to Network 1 Door 1, Profile 02 to Network 1
Door 2 and so on to Profile 64, assigned to Network 8 Door
8).

Mandatory Log

The component requirements
TS50131-3 requires that mandatory log events are not
overwritten by non-mandatory events.
To satisfy this requirement an additional 500 mandatory
event log has been created which records only the
mandatory events.
Operation of the standard system log has not been changed
and mandatory events will be duplicated in the standard log.
The standard log has been extended to 5000 events.

Alternative Wiring Configurations

4 new EOL zone wiring options have been provided to allow
compatibility with other manufacturers products and to allow
the use of alternative anti-masking detection devices.
Normally open & normally closed contacts are catered for,
this is primarily for key switches
A warning device monitoring circuit type has been provided
to support remote testing of sounders.

Additional Radio Devices

The number of RadioPlus intelegent radio devices that can
be learnt to the system has been increased from 32 to 100.
This is mainly to accommodate the additional users and
allow more radio FOBs.
