2. Premier Elite 32XPH-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.
Firmware versions prior to those listed are NOT compatible.

System Design Considerations
To ensure correct setup and operation of the Wireless Network it is important that the following procedures
are used when learning and placing devices.
Multiple Expander Systems
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, please see page 16.This will ensure that they are registered on the receiver or control
panel, and that Mesh Networks and routing are established correctly. Please refer to the relevant section in
this document to Learn Devices to the system.
Devices should be at least 1Mtr away but ideally 10m from the receiver when being learned.
Placing Devices
Once all of the devices have been learnt, they will need placing in their desired location, this should be done
by installing devices closest to the expander first and then working outwards so that the last devices installed
are those furthest away from the expander.
Make sure to install devices with the expander in Commission mode. See page 16.
Devices also have a commission mode which will indicate a secure and valid path of communication to the
receiver. See page 16.
You should wait at least 20 minutes after installing the last device to make sure routing has been correctly
established between all system devices.
For maximum reliability and system integrity avoid long and thin set-ups. Do not mount devices on or near metal.
Keep devices away from mains electricity supplies.
Devices are capable of hopping through up to two other devices, or a maximum of three hops.

Mounting the Expander
Remove each screw cap by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot and turning anti-clockwise,
excessive force is NOT required. Remove both of the cover screws and put them in a safe place along with
the screw caps. Gently pull the cover away from the base applying slight pressure to the sides at the top of
the expander if required. The front cover should now be off. Mount the expander using at least two
appropriate countersunk screws (no larger than No. 8). A keyhole slot has been provided to assist mounting
and aid levelling. If required a screw should be placed into the knockout on the rear of the expander to enable
the rear/wall tamper.
Do not mount near metal or mains supplies. When using with metal control panels a minimum of 50cm gap is
required. Do not mount near aerials of any description, or other wireless equipment.
Wiring
It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring
the expander. Connect the expander to the control panel using 4-core cable as follows:
Expander
Control Panel
Description
+

T
Transmit Data
R

Receive Data
The networks are made up of four terminals incorporating power and data. To ensure correct operation, all
four terminals on the device must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the control panel or
previous device. Expanders can be connected using 4-core cable. However, it is recommended that 6 or 8-
core cable is used as the spare cores can be used to ‘Double Up’ on the power connections if needed.
Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations. However, under certain conditions it may be
necessary to use screened cable.
Selecting an Address
Each expander must be assigned a different address using the DIL switches located on the PCB. The table

Ricochet Expander Addressing
Introduction
The address range and switch position will depend on which combination of expanders are being used. Each
32XPH-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 32XPH-W is being used at Address 1, but only
16 devices have been used, Address 3 & 4 are available for hardwired 8XP's.
Please see some examples of mixing different types of Expanders on various Elite panels and the addressing
requirements.

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 /.
To default the expander completely, disconnect the T and R lines, put option switch 1 & 2 to ON and hold the
white function button until the expander programming LED's all illuminate and turn off.
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 perimeter detection devices such as Contacts and Shock sensors & PA Buttons.
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. This mode of operation is the default mode for all single
technology motion detectors.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. When in this mode devices are awake only
when the system is set. Devices are woken up by the control panel at the point of arming. The system will
display "Preparing to Arm". When the system is disarmed the devices will be put back to sleep. This mode of
operation is the default mode for all Dual Technology motion detectors.
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.
Device Specific Mode
Device Specific mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. Devices that use this mode of
operation have specific operating parameters and should not be altered. This mode of operation is the default
mode for all Fire detectors (Smoke, Heat and any other variant), & Internal/External Sounders.

All devices can be learnt directly to the receiver. Device attributes cannot be changed when learning devices
in this mode, all devices will use their factory default.
To initiate the learn sequence press the Function Switch on the receiver see page 5. The right hand LED 1 will
illuminate, keep pressing the learn switch until the correct LED sequence is seen for the device that you want
to add to the system.
Free device slots are indicated by the corresponding LED’s flashing, if the LED’s do not flash then that slot is
already occupied by another device. Depress the Learn switch on the device and insert the battery. Repeat
this sequence for subsequent devices.
Once complete devices should be learned to the control panel using the relevant instructions for your control

Premier Elite V3.XX
Low signal security
For V3 the keypad can display basic signal security information for each device on an expander. Each device will show
H High, M Medium or L Low signal security. The system is updated live and therefore it is possible to determine
changes by moving devices, or by adding more to the system. The information displayed replicates what is seen when
using Ricochet Monitor.
Low Signal Security Displays
The network, expander and number of devices learnt to the expander will be shown.
Use the key to select the expander you wish to view.
No devices learnt to the expander. 8 spaces available.
2 devices out of eight learnt showing Low signal security. Adding more devices will
improve the reading, moving them will not.
8 devices on the system, 2 show Medium signal security. 6 showing Low signal
security. Moving the devices may improve the system.
8 Devices learnt to the system, all devices showing High signal security, the system
is operating perfectly.
7. Modes of Operation
Commission Mode
Expander
The expander has a Commission Mode, which when operated ensures secure communications with devices
on the system. Commission Mode is automatically enabled when the expander is in tamper. When in
commission mode the RF signal is attenuated by -6 dB, and will reject weak signals. This means that when
devices are placed into their final locations and communications are established, you can be sure that the
signal path is secure, and robust.
After entering Commission Mode the expander will also instruct the devices to poll in every 4 minutes, rather
than the standard 15 minute poll time. The instruction will be sent with the next available poll to the device.
Device Commission Mode
At any time, when a tamper is generated on a device it will enter commission mode, the devices will do this
regardless of the state of the receiver. Closing the tamper circuit will activate the LED for a short period of time
whilst communication with the receiver is established.
The LED will flash, indicating the device is trying to communicate with the receiver, once communication is
successful the LED will come on solid and then go out.
If the LED does not flash but simply comes on solid when the tamper is closed, then a valid & secure
communication has taken place. If the LED flashes and then goes out, without going solid communication
has failed.
This method of commissioning devices ensures that valid and secure communication is taking place and that
signals are reaching the receiver. It is recommended that Device Commission Mode is used in conjunction
with Expander Commission Mode. See Above.

8. System Attributes
Polling
Polling occurs between the devices and the receiver at a pre-determined interval of 15 minutes. This helps to
conserve battery life. Poll intervals are set to 4 minutes when the system is in Commission Mode. Please see
page 16 for details. The standard poll time is not adjustable. If the system is powered down for more than 1
hour, the devices will go into an Offline Mode to conserve battery life, in this case it can take up to 2 hours for
all devices to come back online, alternatively each device should have its tamper circuit opened to force
communications. When forcing the devices to come back online the same setup principles should be used
and devices closest to the receiver should be activated first, this will again allow the mesh network to be
established.
System Devices
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.
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. For example a Impaq Contact-W on a door which you need to
know is opened, regardless of system state; or devices such as PA buttons & smoke detectors which have
been connected to the inputs of the Magnetic Contact. The number of devices on a system in this mode
should be kept to a minimum.
Device Specific
This mode is assigned to devices that need to operate in a specific way and should not be changed. Life
safety devices and sounders will typically use this mode.
Hybrid Mode (V2.xx)
Hybrid mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. When in this mode devices are asleep
when the system is unset, 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.
Expander O/P Mode
Expander O/P modes are for future use and should not be used with any of the devices listed above.
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 effect on
battery life.
as this is a dynamic bi-directional system any device which is Always Awake has the capability to shorten battery
life of other devices.

Premier Elite 32XPH-W Power Loss
If the power to the receiver is lost for more than one hour, all devices on the system will enter an “Offline”
mode to preserve battery life.
When power is replied to the receiver it can take up to two hours for all devices to be recognised by the
system. To resolve this issue quickly each device on the system should be tampered to force communication
with the receiver.
The same principles apply to the learning & placing of devices, and as such tampering should start with the
device closest to the receiver and working outwards, allowing for the mesh network to be re-established.
