Frequently asked questions

How do I reset a Texecom alarm?

Check why the alarm went off, then enter a valid user code at the Texecom keypad to silence it and clear the activation. Some systems are programmed to need an engineer reset after an alarm or a tamper fault, and the keypad will then ask for one. In that case contact your alarm installer instead of opening the panel yourself.

Are Texecom alarms NACOSS approved?

No, NACOSS approval covers alarm installation companies, not the equipment they fit. The National Security Inspectorate awards NACOSS Gold to installers that pass its inspections. To judge the products themselves, check the security grade under EN 50131, which several Texecom detectors carry. An insurer may also ask for the system to be fitted by an approved company.
