Premier Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W
Texecom has developed a new method of wireless security signalling based on the concept of mesh
networking. Mesh-networking is the process whereby every single wireless device is capable of receiving
and retransmitting any signal from any other wireless device on the network. The size, scalability and range
of the entire system are extended as wireless signalling is no longer limited by point-to point
communications. The range of a
Ricochet
®
enabled wireless system is greater than previous systems, with
multiple devices capable of relaying messages to and from even the most remote locations in a building.
Each
Ricochet
enabled device provides signalling routes to and from control panels. If the wireless
communication between devices weakens, the
Ricochet
network ‘self
-
heals’ and automatically
re-routes
communications via alternate
Ricochet
enabled devices. The reliability of the wireless system increases as
more
Ricochet
devices are installed.
SignalSecurity
™ further enhances network reliability with each device
already aware of the number of communication paths available to it.
The
8XP-W
&
32XP-W
expanders can be used on any premier control panel; however certain features and
functions are dependent on the version of panel firmware as detailed in the table below. To determine the
firmware version of your control panel press
/
4 on the keypad.
Firmware versions prior to those listed are
NOT
compatible.
