1.0 Introduction
The Premier Elite Odyssey-W sounders are currently available in as; Premier
Elite Odyssey 1-W,2-W,3-W,4-W & 5-W. With Ricochet® mesh technology it is
now even easier to add a 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.
1.1 System Compatibility
The Premier Elite Odyssey-W's are 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.
1.2 Battery Compartment
1. Open the Battery Compartment
2. Removing the lid completely (if required)

INS595-4 4/20
3. Install Batteries into Holder

INS595-4 5/20
4. Clip Holder (bottom first) back into place & connect battery pack to
PCB

INS595-4 6/20
5. Learn sounder to panel
6. Make Jumper selection for LED ON/OFF
7. Make Jumper Selection for Sounder Time
8. Close the Battery Compartment

INS595-4 7/20
N 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.

1.4 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 Odyssey-W's are 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.

INS595-4 10/20
The Odyssey-W has no Learn Switch, learning is initiated by connecting the
batteries via the Power Jumper
To learn the Odyssey-W to the system follow the diagram below.
N If you need to delete the device from the system you should first put it into
"hold off " mode and remove the batteries.
N If the device will not learn to the system check that all batteries are installed
correctly.
1.5 LED Indications
The Odyssey-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.
N The LED jumper has no effect on the status described below.

INS595-4 11/20
1.6 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.
N The LED's will only flash after hold of mode has stopped IF the LED
jumper is in the "ON" position.
N 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..
1.7 Mounting the Unit
Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria:

INS595-4 12/20
Good wireless signal
N 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
Additional shelter (e.g. under the eaves) is an advantage
High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering
Safe ladder access
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.
N 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.
N For maximum weatherproofing the unit should be flat to the wall.

Adjusting Tamper Sensitivity
If greater wall/lid tamper sensitivity is required, the microswitch position can be
adjusted by loosening the locking screw and altering the orientation of the
microswitch as shown.
1.9 Installing The Cover

INS595-4 16/20
1.10 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.

* The flash rate will reduce to 0.125Hz after flashing for 20 minutes (1 flash every
8 seconds). This is a software feature to reduce power consumption and cannot be
disabled. After 10 days the strobe is cancelled completely. Turning the strobe off
then on again will resume normal operation.
