About the ChallengerSE development
ChallengerSE is an important part of Interlogix’ ongoing product development and modernisation program of the Tecom range.
As with all Interlogix developments, a key to our strategy is to ensure the backward-compatibility with existing peripherals which ensures a simple, cost-effective upgrade path. Incorporating all of the current features of Challenger V8, migrating to the new ChallengerSE is a simple process. The
ChallengerSE utilises the same look and feel of the Challenger V8 which minimises the requirement for significant retraining.
The features of ChallengerSE exceed the capabilities and capacity of the current Challenger V8.
Available at a similar price point, ChallengerSE will support existing applications and is ideal for new installations. The ChallengerSE panel is designed with the same stringent quality and regulatory requirements as the Challenger10 panel, with a strong focus on quality, backward-compatibility and functionality. This focus continues to ensure the Tecom product family is an excellent choice for your current and future security needs.

ChallengerSE is an exciting next step for the Tecom family and further enhances and increases the portfolio for our customers. The ChallengerSE can also be used as a replacement product for an existing V8 panel which will allow you to take advantage of the increased scale and performance, while protecting your security investment. ChallengerSE gives you the opportunity to increase your system’s functionality at the lowest possible cost.
Due to component obsolescence, Interlogix can longer manufacture Challenger V8 hardware. Due to this issue, production of this hardware has now ceased. Spare parts are available while stocks last.
Support for the Challenger V8 will continue well into the future via the usual channels. As mentioned above, ChallengerSE is a direct replacement for the Challenger V8, giving you a cost effective solution that exceeds the existing functionality.

Known issues
Communication path format Securitel STU, sub-format None, sends system alarms when system alarms report is disabled.
Report fail message state is cleared when path queue is cleared.
A dialler path could have an incorrect number of retries.
Only two levels of backup path are supported in addition to the primary path (three paths in total).
We do not recommend using one type of path format to backup a different type of path format
(for example, using a CID Dialler path as a backup for Management Software path).
On a wireless DGP, input numbers displayed on an LCD RAS are incorrect for any DGP address higher than DGP 1. This issue affects only the display of input numbers via LCD RAS when programming a WDGP. The reporting of WDGP inputs to the ChallengerSE panel is not affected.
WDGP model CA1230 at DGP address 32 will not respond properly to polling after the
ChallengerSE is power cycled. DGP addresses 1 to 31 are not affected.
The ChallengerSE panel cannot communicate in polled mode via TCP/IP to management software.
