1.0 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
