Premier Elite 32XPH-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.
Firmware versions prior to those listed are NOT compatible.
