Ricochet MT2 Addendum
2 ADD068
Introduction
The Premier Elite Series™of control panels have been upgraded to V2.xx firmware which now contains Ricochet™ MT2 capability.
This new technology adds additional features and functions for Ricochet™ enabled security systems. The Expanders used must be
Premier Elite XP-W V2.xx. The details of this addendum apply only to those changes.
This addendum should be used in conjunction with the Premier Elite Series™ installation manual INS176-8 or later, and INS467-4 or
later.
Multiple Expander Support
It is now possible to add multiple expanders to the system allowing for greater flexibility in system design, and also taking wireless
capability to new levels. Additional device modes and diagnostics functions also give more information about the system status, and
allow greater control over devices modes of operation.
Control Panel Capacity
The table below details the maximum number of expanders, devices and Premier Elite SmartKey™ that may be used on the different
control panels, other configurations may be possible by mixing Premier Elite 32XP-W & Premier Elite 8XP-W.

Premier Elite 32XP-W take 4 address slots on the network, Premier Elite 8XP-W take one address
DO NOT mix V1 & V2 expanders on the same system.
System Requirements
To enable all of the advanced functionality and diagnostics capability of the V2 upgrade the following are minimum requirements:-
•Wintex™ Version 6 Build 16 or later
•Ricochet Monitor™ 0.2.15.00 or later
•Premier Elite™ Series V2.xx or later
•Premier Elite™ 32XP-W & 8-W Expanders V2.xx or later
System Design Considerations
When using multiple expanders great care should be taken when designing the system. Each expander should be treated as its own
wireless network; it is not possible for devices to hop from one wireless network to the other, it is also not possible for expanders to
pass wireless signals from devices not assigned to them and nor can the expanders talk to each other.
Learning Devices
All devices should be learnt before they are placed in their final location. The expander should be in commission mode, (see INS467
for details). This will ensure that they are registered on the receiver or control panel, and that Mesh Networks and routeing are
established correctly. Please refer to the relevant section in this document to Learn Devices to the system.
Devices should be at least 30cm’s away from the receiver when being learned.
Learning Premier Elite SmartKey™
Premier Elite SmartKey™ should be learned AFTER all other systems devices and expanders have been learned and setup, this will
ensure you can choose the correct routeing for the Premier Elite SmartKey™ and that it will function in the correct areas of the
premises

Ricochet MT2 Addendum
ADD068 3
Expander Addressing
Introduction
The address range and switch position will depend on which combination of expanders are being used. Each 32XP-W takes up 4
address slots on the control panel network, however the network slots are virtual until devices are assigned to available zones. It is
possible that if a 32XP-W is being used at Address 1, but only 16 devices have been used, Address 3 & 4 are available for hardwired
8XP's or 8XP-W's.
Please see below some examples of mixing different types of Expanders on various Elite panels and the addressing requirements.

Devices
Introduction
The firmware upgrade now requires that Ricochet™ devices are learned through the Zone Setup Menu, and Premier Elite SmartKey™
are learned through the User Setup menu, the "Configure Radio" menu in Engineer's Utilities is now redundant and should not be used.
Learning Devices
To learn a device to a Zone select the Zone from the Zone Setup Menu, Zones that are capable of having a Ricochet™ device learnt to
them will be displayed as follows:-
  
 
Fig 1
Fig 1indicates the pre-assigned zone number, the expander being used and the device slot on the expander.
Once a device has been learnt the display will be as Fig 2:-
  
 
Fig 2
If you are unsure if a zone already has a device learned to it, you can go to the menu as in Fig 1, press and then if a
device is already learnt the display will look like Fig 2, if not then it will look like Fig 3
  
 
Fig 3
Please see the diagram on the next page to learn devices.
Deleting Devices
To delete devices from the expander is the same as learning them; choose the zone you wish to delete, and follow the procedure to
learn the device, when the screen shows “Learning” press .
Device Modes of Operation
Always Awake
This mode should only be used on devices which are required to signal at all times and is the default setting for the Impaq Contact-W
and Impaq Plus-W.
Auto Mode
When in Auto Mode, devices poll at 15 minute intervals. Following activation, devices will not transmit the same activation again for a
period of 3 minutes.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. When in the mode devices are asleep when the system is set, and
are woken up by the control panel at the point of arming. When the system is disarmed the devices will be put back to sleep. This mode
of operation is the default mode for XT-W, QD-W & DT-W.
On very large systems (100 devices +) a small delay may be experienced when arming the system, this is normal as the
expanders on the system wake up the relevant devices.
Premier Elite DT-W should ALWAYS be used in Hybrid mode, failure to do this will have an adverse affect on battery life.
Expander O/P Mode
Expander O/P modes are for future use and should not be used with any of the devices listed above.
Zone Types & Attributes
These are all the same as before and detailed instructions for programming can be found in INS176-8 or later.

Premier Elite SmartKey™
Introduction
Premier Elite SmartKey™ are now learnt and all functionality managed through the “Setup Users” Menu.
Ricochet™MT2 and Premier Elite Series V2 firmware upgrades add additional capabilities to the management of Premier Elite
SmartKey™. In multiple expander systems it is now possible to choose which zones (and therefore expander) the Premier Elite
SmartKey™ will use for its routeing, LED and Aux functions can also be changed within the “Setup Users” menu.
All users on the system can have a Premier Elite SmartKey™ a TAG and a code, or any combination of them.
This addendum only deals with Premier Elite SmartKey™ learning and routeing, all other user programmable options can be found in
INS176-8 Premier Elite Series Installation Manual or later.
Great care should be taken when using large numbers of Premier Elite SmartKey™, only one Premier Elite SmartKey™ per
expander can be used by the system at any one time, and on Multiple expanders systems, or large sites, functionality should be
checked in all areas of the site where the device may be used.
Premier Elite SmartKey™ Routeing
Premier Elite SmartKey™ should only be learned to the system AFTER all devices have been learned and placed in their final location.
Whilst it is possible to learn at any point during the programming of the system, learning and testing the functionality of the Premier
Elite SmartKey™ after all devices have been placed will ensure that the Premier Elite SmartKey™ performs as expected, and works in
locations where the user would expect it too.
Route By
The Route By function allows you to select which Zones (and therefore expander) the Premier Elite SmartKey™ will use on the system
for its routeing. This should be selected BEFORE the device has been learned.
In the examples below Fig 1 shows the zones associated with Expander 1, which is a 32XP-W, and Fig 2 shows Expander 2 which is
also a 32XP-W, when using 8XP-W there willobviously be less devices that the Premier Elite SmartKey™ can use.

The key is used to select this menu and the key used to select which expander and associated zones will be used
Once a Premier Elite SmartKey™ has been learned the key will show which zones are being used for routeing. It is not possible
to alter this once learned. To change the routeing the Premier Elite SmartKey™ should be deleted and the process started from the
beginning.
LED & Aux Functions
Please refer to INS467 for details of the LED & Aux functions.
Deleting a Premier Elite SmartKey™
Deleting the Premier Elite SmartKey™ from the user is a similar process to learning, at the appropriate point in the menu press 
followed by , the Premier Elite SmartKey™ will be removed from the User. To delete all user data see INS176-8 or later.
Please see the diagram on the next page which details the process used to choose routeing and learn Premier Elite SmartKey™ to
users.
