Texecom SmartCom Pro (CEN-0001) | Single Path Communicator | Ethernet & Wi-Fi | Universal Compatibility
Summary
The Texecom SmartCom Pro opens up professional alarm signalling opportunities across your entire customer base, regardless of which intruder panel manufacturer they’ve chosen. This intelligent single-path communicator connects any panel with digital outputs to your preferred alarm receiving centre (ARC) via either Wi-Fi or hardwired Ethernet, giving you the flexibility to retrofit existing installations or specify for new builds with equal confidence.
For installers working with Texecom Premier Elite systems, the SmartCom Pro unlocks the complete suite of digital services—Texecom Connect for end-user management, Texecom Cloud for remote servicing, and Texecom Monitor for EN 50136-compliant alarm signalling. This means fewer site visits, faster fault diagnosis, and the ability to offer ongoing service contracts that generate recurring revenue for your business.
Designed and manufactured in Britain, the SmartCom Pro delivers robust performance across an 11-30V power range, making it equally suitable for security and fire system applications. Quick commissioning via QR code setup and four-step LED indication means you’ll spend less time on-site, whilst AES 256 encryption and anti-substitution protection ensure your customers’ alarm signals remain secure throughout transmission.

FAQs
Which alarm panels can I connect to the SmartCom Pro?
The SmartCom Pro works with any intruder alarm panel that has digital output trigger pins. Whilst it offers universal compatibility across manufacturers, you’ll unlock the full suite of Texecom digital services (Connect, Cloud and Monitor) when used with Premier Elite panels, including remote configuration and automated health monitoring.
What’s the difference between the SmartCom Pro, Pro 4G and Pro DR models?
The SmartCom Pro (CEN-0001) is a single-path communicator using either Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity. The Pro 4G adds dual-path capability with 4G backup, whilst the Pro DR features dual-radio 4G communication for maximum redundancy. Choose the standard Pro model when reliable broadband or network connectivity is available and single-path signalling meets your compliance requirements.
Can I use this on fire alarm systems as well as intruder alarms?
Yes, the SmartCom Pro’s broad 11-30V power supply range makes it suitable for both security and fire system applications. The 10 configurable input pins allow you to tailor alarm signalling for different event types, making it versatile across multiple applications.
How difficult is the Wi-Fi setup process?
Setup is straightforward using the QR code connection method to the SmartCom Pro’s local access point mode. The four-step LED indication guides you through commissioning, and the device automatically connects to Texecom Cloud once configured. Most installers complete setup within minutes.
What transmission category does the SmartCom Pro achieve?
The SmartCom Pro achieves SP2 (Single Path Category 2) transmission under EN 50136 standards when connected via continuously polled IP signalling. This makes it compliant for most residential and commercial intruder alarm applications where single-path communication is acceptable.
Do I need to purchase the mounting case separately?
Yes, the EN 50131-compliant housing (part code JAQ-0007) is available separately. The SmartCom Pro module measures just 75 x 120 x 26mm, so you can install it within existing panel enclosures if space and compliance requirements permit, or specify the dedicated case for standalone installations.
What ongoing services can I offer customers with the SmartCom Pro installed?
The Texecom Cloud integration enables you to offer remote servicing contracts, including health monitoring, configuration updates, and fault diagnosis without site visits. You can also manage annual connection and service billing through Texecom Cloud, creating recurring revenue streams whilst reducing your operational costs.
