Product Description
The Texecom CGA-0001 Premier Elite 12-W is a control panel — the "brain" of an intruder alarm, wiring together sensors, keypads and sounders — built for small to medium installations that need room to grow.
It ships with 8 on-board zones, expandable to 12, so you can start with door/window contacts and PIRs and add more detection points later without swapping the panel. It also has 2 on-board outputs, expandable to 22, used for things like sounders, relays or triggering other equipment.
Wired, wireless, or both
The panel supports both wired devices and Ricochet wireless sensors from the Texecom Premier Elite range, so a job can mix hardwired zones with wireless ones added after first fix — useful for retrofits where running new cable isn't practical.
