1. Introduction
2. Example system
The Ricochet®expansion kit is a quick and convenient way to add wireless devices to an existing wired security
system.
The existing system must have spare normally closed circuits to connect the zones and other outputs.
Every expansion pack contains a relay module Premier Elite iXP-W and an 8 zone wireless Ricochet expander
Premier Elite 8XP-W.
There are three types of expansion pack available:
• Ricochet External Kit which includes 2 external movement detectors
• Ricochet Safety Kit which includes 1 CO detector and 1 smoke detector
• Ricochet Smoke Kit which includes 2 smoke detectors
Other Ricochet wireless devices can also be used with the expansion pack:
• Ricochet Motion detectors
• Ricochet Door contacts
• Ricochet Shock sensors
• Ricochet PA Buttons (must be connected to a PA zone)
The expansion pack is to be installed by a professional installer and needs to be tested to make sure the devices
are positioned in the optimal way to communicate with the wireless expander.
NOTE: The Ricochet expansion packs are NOT compatible with the SmartKey™ or Ricochet enabled Odyssey
sounders.
3. Preparation
• Open the expander and the relay module & wire to the system (see section 5)
• Open the devices ready to install the batteries
• Follow the ow chart in section 4

2. Choosing a Location
Parallel
✓
1.0 - 1.4m
•Mounting height 1.0 - 1.4m (nominal 1.2m), measured to middle of unit.
•Mount perpendicular to ground.
•Do not install close to large metal objects (eg. metal lintel) or mains wiring.
•Try to avoid direct sunlight.
•Avoid pointing at swaying bushes/trees and
swaying clothes on a clothes line. ✗
✗
•Try to install the detector so its detection area is terminated
by building/fences etc. This will reduce the eect of range
variation caused by environmental changes.
•In the detection area try to avoid reective surfaces such
as standing water, swimming pools or polished oors as
this can cause the detectors range or coverage to vary as
reected signals may be seen.

Installation Instructions - Premier Elite OH-W
Contents: Wireless optical and heat re detector (Premier Elite OH-W), Pack of screws and xings3 AAA Duracell
Procell MN2400 batteries (1.5 V1100mAh) or equivalent.
The Premier Elite OH-W contains a sounder that generates the ASHI s3.41 temporal 3 pattern in an alarm
condition.
In alarm, a message is also sent to the control panel and the alarm’s zone type and name are displayed at the
panel. The message is relayed out to any other congured Premier Elite OH which will also sound a warning
alarm. This can be used for area-wide notication of the alarm. To disable this feature, change the device mode
of the sensors from‘device specic’to‘always awake’.Tricoloured LED (red, yellow, green) and a sounder on the
alarm provide local visual and audible indication of the alarm’s status.
After power-up has completed and the alarm is functioning normally, the green LED blinks every 12 seconds.
Alarm Trouble: When the alarm has a general fault, the yellow LED blinks once every four seconds and there
is a chirp every 48 seconds.
Alarm Dirty Feature: When the alarm has been contaminated, the yellow LED blinks once every 8 seconds and
there is a chirp every 48 seconds.

13
Low Battery Detection: The Premier Elite OH-W is powered by 3 AAA batteries. The alarm regularly checks for
a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel,
that displays the alarm’s ID at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the alarm blinks every 12 seconds.
The alarm’s sounder chirps every 48 seconds (yellow LED continues to blink) until the batteries are replaced.
Pressing the hush button (See Fig.1) silences the chirping for 12 hours if no other trouble conditions exist.
Replace the batteries when the chirping begins.
If you are experiencing low battery issues, check to make sure that you have the correct batteries installed
(3 AAA Duracell Procell MN2400).
Inserting and Replacing Batteries
1. Remove the alarm from its base by twisting the it counter-clockwise. Remove and dispose of the batteries
according to your local regulations.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before inserting new batteries.
3. Insert 3 AAA Duracell Procell MN2400 batteries in the battery compartment (See Fig.2).
4. Reinstall the alarm onto the mounting base by turning the alarm clockwise until the mating marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence, the green LED should blink about once every 12 seconds to indicate normal
operation. If the batteries are not inserted correctly, the alarm will not operate and the batteries may be
damaged. If the alarm does not power-up, check for correct battery insertion and for fully charged batteries.
6. Whenever the batteries are replaced always test the operation of the alarm’s sounder by pressing the test
button (See Fig.1).
Battery Safety
• Do not throw into a fire • Do not heat

Installation Instructions - Premier Elite CO-W
1. What is carbon monoxide?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no taste, colour or smell.
Potential Sources of CO
This CO alarm is no substitute for proper maintenance of your appliances.
Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances or from blocked ues and chimneys.
If your alarm has sounded and you have ventilated the room the CO may have dispersed before help
arrives. It is crucial that the source of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out.
Carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison meaning long-term exposure to low levels may cause symptoms.
The Premier Elite CO-W is time-weighted - the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.
• Wood-burning stoves
• Gas boilers and res
• Gas Hobs
• Oil and coal burning appliances
• Portable gas heaters
• Blocked ues and chimneys
• Fumes from integral garages
• Barbecues
2. Alarm levels as dened by EN50291-2010
The table below shows the response times at which the Premier Elite CO-W alarm will sound;
Alarm response times (as prescribed by EN 50291-1):
CO Concentration Alarm Delay
50 ppm 60 - 90 minutes
100 ppm 10 - 40 minutes
300 ppm Less than 3 minutes
The table below shows the eects of dierent levels of CO poisoning on the body:
Parts per million Aects on adults
100 ppm Slight headache, nausea, fatigue
200 ppm Dizziness and headache within 2-3 hours
400 ppm Nausea, frontal headache, drowsiness, confusion and rapid heart rate. Risk to life
after over 3 hours of exposure
800 ppm Severe headaches, convulsions, vital organ failures. Death possible within 2-3 hours
3. Mounting locations
Recommended locations Not recommended
Install the alarm at a horizontal distance of between
1m and 3m from fuel burning appliances.
Do not install next to a door, window, extractor fan
or air vent.
Away from draughts, such as doors and windows Do not wall-mount close to obstructions (e.g. behind
curtains, shelving or furniture)
Within hearing distance of bedrooms.* If a heating
appliance is in the bedroom place the alarm at
sleeping height
Do not t in dusty, dirty or greasy areas (e.g. garages
or workshops)
If wall-mounting, install at eye-level (approx 1.5m),
and at least 30cm from adjoining walls or ceiling
Do not wall-mount within 30cm of the ceiling as this
is a“dead air”space
If free-standing, the unit should be placed no more
than 1 metre from the ground (to avoid permanent
damage in case accidentally knocked)
Avoid humid (bathrooms), cold (< 4°C) or hot (>40°C)
areas and away from sinks
*It is recommended that at least one Premier Elite CO-W carbon monoxide alarm is installed on each level of
the home.

1. Lift out the stand, on the back of the detector, from the
bottom and click into place (as shown below).
2. Position the detector no more than 1 meter from the oor
(to minimize the risk of the detector being permanently
damaged should it be knocked to the oor from a greater
height).
3. Make sure the detector is in the upright position and not
lying at on the surface.
8. Battery installation/replacement
Remove the batteries from the pack and insert them into the
battery compartment. Make sure that you t the batteries
in accordance with the polarity markings (+ or -) within the
battery compartment.
9. Start-up sequence
The green light ashes every 2 seconds for the rst minute.
During this time the detector will perform a self-test. After
this, the detector is working normally and the green light
will ash every minute to indicate it has power. DO NOT
PUSH THE TEST BUTTON DURING THIS FIRST MINUTE.
10. Low battery/fault sequence
The detector will emit a two-tone chirp every minute if the battery needs replacing or a fault has been detected
within the unit. The detector is fully able to determine that it is working correctly. If, after tting new batteries, the
two-tone chirp continues then replace the unit.
Add installation date
11. Test button sequence
The test button should be pressed every week. The detector
will emit short chirps for about 5 seconds, and the green
light will ash every 10 seconds for 4 minutes. During this
time the detector will be more sensitive to detection of
CO gas and will alarm at a lower concentration level. The
detector will also generate a fault signal (two tone chirp
every minute) if a fault is identied on the sensor. Further
activation of the test button is disabled until the four
minutes have expired.
12. Alarm sequence
On detecting an unsafe level of CO, the detector will sound
0.5s on, 0.5s o. The red light will ash once every two
seconds.

13. What to do in the event of an alarm
WARNING! Activation of the alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide
(CO) which can kill you.
If the alarm sounds (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds o and ashing red light):
• Keep calm and open the doors and windows to ventilate the property.
• Stop using all fuel burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned o.
• Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.
• Get medical help immediately for anyone suering the eects of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache,
nausea), and advise that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected.
• Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number; keep the number in a prominent place.
• Write your fuel supplier’s emergency number here (see below for more useful numbers):
• Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. When exposed to fresh air it can take up to 10
minutes for the sensor to clear and the alarm to stop depending on the level of carbon monoxide detected.
• Do not use the appliances again until they have been checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances the
engineer must be registered.
14. Maintenance of your alarm
• Test every week.
• Vacuum regularly to remove dust.
• Keep away from solvents or detergents and nappy buckets.
• Avoid spraying air-freshener, hair-spray near the alarm.
• Do not paint the alarm. If decorating or using adhesives close to the alarm, remove it temporarily.
• Annually check the installation date to see if the it’s within sensor life (10 years). If not, replace the unit.
The following substances can aect the sensor and cause false alarms:
Methane, Propane, Iso-butane, Iso-propanol, Ethylene, Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl acetate, Hydrogen
Sulphide, Hydrogen, Sulphur Dioxide, alcohol based products, paints, thinners, solvents, adhesives,
hair-sprays, aftershaves or perfumes and some cleaning agents.
