Replacing Gardtec 580

[Delboy61]

Moved into a house with a Gardiner alarm (580) and it is wired. I want to renew all PIR's and add one to the garage and replace the keypad , bell and control box . The wires (6 core) are marked so should be easy and I will run new cable to the garage and door sensors on the patio door.

I like the chrome Texecom keypads - but as a kit I have to spend quite a lot to get one so will buy the components individually. Could somebody please suggest the right control panel

A total of 5 PIR's, 3 door contacts, as I say apart from running new wires to a garage and the patio door I am reusing all the previous wires.

Thanks in advance
Derek

How much space do you have where the old 580 was ? The 24 plastic is slightly bigger than a 580 plastic case , personally I would fit a 48 metal as it’s more flexible. But it’s a bigger case

Thanks Marka
Yes plenty of space as its in an upstairs walk in cupboard.... So, what Texecom model is that please.... And will a chrome plate keypad work with it....

Thanks

It will work with all premier elite panels , have a look on eBay I’ve picked up a couple of elite 48 metals in the last few months for £60-70 BUT make sure they are new and version 6 firmware
