Introduction

The Premier Elite 5Ci-W sounder is an Internal warning device with Ricochet®mesh technology. It is now even easier to add an internal

wireless sounder to your security system. As the device is self powered the only limit on the number of units you can put on a system is

determined by how many free Ricochet enabled zones you have available.

This unit is NOT designed for external applications.

Tamper Detection

As this unit is designed for internal applications only, and may be mounted at low level and within easy reach the SAB facility has been

disabled and the unit WILL NOT self activate in the case of the device being tampered.

System Compatibility

The Premier Elite 5Ci-W is compatible with all Premier Elite control panels V2.11 and later, and Premier Elite 8XP-W & Premier Elite

32XP-W. Ricochet Monitor V2.18.2 or later should also be used.

Battery Pack

The battery pack is retained by a reusable cable tie. and should be secured through the holes in the backplate above the Piezo module.

All eight batteries (supplied) must be installed with the correct polarity. Failure to do so will result in the device reporting a

battery fault. If 1-2 batteries are incorrectly fitted the firmware will detect this on power up and flash both comfort LED’s for

approximately 10 minutes. While the unit is in this state it will not learn to a panel. After approximately 10 minutes the unit will

power off in order to save energy.

Description

The battery pack should be connected here after installing the batteries.

Powering the sounder on for the first time starts the learn process. Once learned the "POWER"

jumper should be left in the "ON" position.

If you need to relearn the sounder, the link should be moved to the OFF position for a minimum of

1 second.

Enables or disables the comfort LED's. Disabling the LED's significantly increases battery life.

The sounder on time is dictated by this jumper position and is independent of the Bell On

time in the control panel. If however the panel bell time is shorter than the jumper setting

selected, the panel will over ride the jumper setting.

Only Lithium AA 1.5V Type batteries should be used

Alkaline batteries should not be used, they will have a much shorter lifespan and can freeze and

fail to operate at -5C

Used Batteries should be disposed of according to the manufacturers instructions.

The quoted battery life is an estimate and will depend on the site conditions.

Learning the Sounder

As with all Ricochet enabled devices, the sounder should be learned to the control panel along with all other devices BEFORE it is installed

in it's final location.

The Premier Elite 5Ci-W is learned to a Zone on the control panel in the same way that Ricochet enabled detection devices are. The Zone

type and Ricochet Device Mode is automatically assigned based on the type of device being learned. In the case of the sounder the Zone

Type is set to "Custom" and the Ricochet Device Mode is set to Device Specific. These should not be changed. Zone attributes 1 & 2 and

Chime options will be ignored for Ricochet enabled Sounders.

You can learn the device from first power up following "Confirm Devices" or from the dedicated Ricochet Learn menu.

The 5Ci-W has no Learn Switch, learning is initiated by connecting the batteries via the Power Jumper

To learn the 5Ci--W to the system follow the diagram below.

If you need to delete the device from the system you should first put it into "hold off " mode and remove the batteries.

If the device will not learn to the system check that all batteries are installed correctly.

LED Indications

The Premier Elite 5Ci-W LED’s aid in the installation of the device and act as status indicators. The table below details the status of each

LED indicator.

The LED jumper has no effect on the status described below.

Leds

Status

Left LED flashing quickly

Device is attempting to communicate with receiver after power up.

Left LED flashing slowly

Device has learnt or re-connected to receiver and is waiting for the tamper to be

closed.

Both LEDs off

Device has failed to learn or failed to communicate after tamper has been

closed.

Right LED flashing quickly

Device is attempting to communicate with receiver after tamper has been

closed.

Right LED on solid (for 3 seconds)

Device has successfully connected with receiver after tamper closed.

Right LED flashing slowly

Hold-off mode has been requested from the panel but the tamper is closed. Bell

will not self-activate. Cancels after 20 minutes.

LEDs alternating quickly.

Device has successfully connected with receiver after tamper closed and self-

activation on tamper will re-activate in 2 minutes.

Both LEDs flashing

1 or 2 batteries are fitted incorrectly. Remove the batteries and reinstall correctly.

Hold-Off Mode

For safety reasons, each Texecom sounder and strobe unit incorporates a unique patented engineer Hold-Off mode. This mode prevents

the unit from self-activating during installation and maintenance, thereby allowing only bona fide engineers access to the unit without any

loss of tamper protection. The sounder can be put in hold-off mode by flashing the strobe 3 times, or by pressing the Omit key when in Bell

Test menu.

When the outer cover is replaced and the tamper circuit is closed, the LEDs will alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure

and signalling that self activation on tamper will be re-enabled within 2 minutes, after which the LEDs will alternate slowly to signal normal

operation. If the tamper circuit is re-opened within the 2 minute period, then hold-off mode will be restored.

The LED's will only flash after hold off mode has stopped IF the LED jumper is in the "ON" position.

The strobe is disabled during hold-off mode. Hold-off mode is immediately cancelled when the sounder is activated from the control panel if the

tamper is closed..

Tamper Detection

As this unit is designed for internal applications only and may be mounted at low level and within easy reach the SAB facility has been

disabled. The unit WILL NOT self activate in the case of the device being tampered.

Care should be taken when installing these devices, and all possible precautions should be taken to ensure the units are not easily

accessible to unauthorised persons.

Tamper signals will still be generated and logged by the control panel. Tamper signals will also be transmitted to the ARC if signalling is

enabled.

Mounting the Unit

Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria:

Good wireless signal

The wireless signal may be checked before final installation by depressing the tamper switch briefly. The Right LED will flash to indicate

communication and will the go solid for 3 seconds to indicate a successful connection.

Highly prominent for maximum deterrence

High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering. See above

In addition to the corner screw fixing points, the unit also has a central keyhole to simplify mounting and aid levelling.

Four screws and wall plugs are required for mounting the backplate to an even surface.

An additional screw is required to provide "Removal from Mounting" tamper and is required in installations complying with the requirements PD6662

and/or EN50131. In doing so, care must be taken to leave the screw head slightly proud to ensure that the microswitch remains level and closes

correctly when the outer cover is fitted.

Installing The Cover

Commissioning

Once the installation is complete the sounder should be tested to confirm correct operation. This can be achieved by utilising the

Bell/Strobe test facility in the "Engineer Utilities" menu.

cannot be disabled. After 10 days the strobe is cancelled completely. Turning the strobe off then on again will resume normal operation.

** In extreme conditions where the temperature is likely to exceed the stated maximum avoid direct sunlight.
