2. Premier 8XP-W & 32XP-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 Premier 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.
The PREMIER 8XP-W &32XP-W expanders can be used on any premier control panel; however
certain features and functions are dependent on the version of panel firmware as detailed in the
table below. To determine the firmware version of your control panel press /4 on the
keypad.
Firmware versions prior to those listed are NOT compatible.

4. 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.
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 32.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 30cm’s away 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 32.
Devices also have a commission mode which will indicate a secure and valid path of
communication to the receiver. See page 32.
You should wait at least 15 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.
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.
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
+ + +12V Supply
- - 0V Supply
T T Transmit Data
R R Receive Data

Premier 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual
10
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 below shows the expander addressing:

6. Programming
It is highly recommended that you upgrade the Panel Firmware to the latest version to ensure full
compatibility; however the system is backwards compatible as detailed in the table on page 4.
When using the Premier 8XP-W it is only possible to learn devices to slots 1-8 on the expander.
Slots 9-32 will still be shown in Ricochet Monitor, and on the keypad, however no devices can
be learned to them.
Premier 24 V8.24, Premier 48/88 & 168 V8.15 Firmware & later
Option Switch Settings
For this version of firmware option switches 1,2 & 4 should be OFF.
Configuring Radio devices
Up to 32 wireless devices of any combination can be learnt on to the system. The number of
Premier SmartKey™ is limited to the maximum number of users (i.e. 24 0n the Premier 48).
On the Premier 8XP-W the maximum number of devices including Premier Smartkey™ is 8.
Wireless devices can then be mapped on to the system along with conventional detectors.
The top line on the display shows the serial number of the device and also the status i.e. Active,
Tamper etc.
The bottom line of the display shows the signal strength and also which zone/user the device is
mapped to.
Signal strength should be greater than 30.
Signal strength is only displayed when in commission mode. When not in commission mode
the keypad will display 255.
The signal range is between 0 and 99
In the case of devices that are hopping the display on the panel keypad shows the average of
the hopped signal strengths.
Follow the instructions on the next page to learn devices to the system, once complete follow the
instructions in the relevant control panel manual to programme zone type, attributes and user
permissions. Place devices in their final location ONLY after they have been learned to the system.

Option Switch Settings
For V7.00-V8.11 of firmware switch 1 2 & 3 should be ON for all panels.
For Versions prior to V7.40 on the Premier 24, Learned devices should be mapped to zones 9-24 only, it
is not possible to map to Zones 1-8. This means the maximum number of devices excluding SmartKey™
is 15 with this version of firmware.
For V 8.11 > of firmware only switches 2 & 3 should be ON.
Expander Settings
The expander can be set to any valid address.
Premier SmartKey™ Status LED Indications
To utilise the full functionality of the Premier SmartKey™ the expander outputs should be
programmed as follows for expander 1 on the control panel.
1.Area .... Exit
2.Area .... Armed
3.Area .... Part Arming (Part Arm 1 on the Premier 24)
4.Area .... Part Armed
5.Area .... Alarm
6.Area .... Panic Alarm
7.Area .... Walktest
The other outputs on the expander must be set to Not Used.
All devices first need to learned to the expander, this can be done either via the learn LED’s onboard
the expander see page 23, the Engineers keypad see page 24 or RICOCHET™ Monitor PC
software.
Once learned the Configure Radio menu may be used to assign the devices to the control panel.
It is possible to learn the devices to both the receiver and the control panel at the same time,
however great care should be taken to ensure devices are learned to the correct slots in both
instances.
For example to learn a device to slot 11 scroll to device 11 on the control panel keypad and press
YES. Then learn device 11 via the LED’s, Engineers Keypad or PC Software.
Once learned a tamper signal will be transmitted and the device will be allocated to slot 11 on the
control panel. Press NO on the Control Panel keypad to map the device to a zone/user. Follow
instructions in the Control Panel manual to assign the zone types, attributes etc.

Premier 412/816 V10.5 – V11.07 & Premier 832 V3.50.-.V4.07
Follow these instructions to learn devices to the system, once completed follow the relevant section
of the control panel manual to programme zones and user attributes.
Option Switch Settings
Premier 412/816 V10.95 Premier 832 V3.95 and lower of firmware switch 1,2 & 3 should be ON.
Premier 412/816 V10.96 –V11.07 Premier 832 V3.96 –V4.07 of firmware switch 2 & 3 should be ON
Expander Settings
The expander should be set to address 1.
Premier SmartKey™ Status LED Indications
With these versions of control panel firmware it is not possible to get status indications from the
control panel. LED Status indication should be turned off using either RICOCHET™ Monitor or the
Engineers Keypad.
All devices first need to learned to the expander, this can be done either via the learn LED’s onboard
the expander see page 23, the Engineers keypad see page 24 or RICOCHET™ Monitor PC
software. Once learned the Assign Radio Devices menu may be used to allocate devices to the
control panel as follows:-
Detectors are assigned to zones as follows:

1. Select engineer’s mode by entering the engineer code followed by /then .
2. Enter  to select the Assign Radio Device menu, if an error tone is generated then the
receiver is not installed or configured correctly.
3. Enter the two digit zone number that you want to assign the detector to e.g., .
4. Remove the cover of the detector so that it generates a tamper condition. If the cover was
already open press the tamper switch then release it. The panel will generate an acceptance
tone and the detector is now assigned to the selected zone.
5. Program the zone type and attributes as required. Note: The Zone Wiring must be
programmed as “Double EOL”, if a tamper response is required from the detector.
6. Repeat steps 2 - 5 for other detector
Removing Detectors
If a detector is no longer required it must be unassigned from the system. To remove a detector from
a zone, proceed as follows:
1. Select engineer’s mode by entering the engineer code followed by /then .
2. Enter  to select the All Zone Options menu.
3. Enter the two digit zone number that you want to remove the detector from e.g., .
4. Enter  to program the zone type as Null. The panel will generate an acceptance tone
and the detector is no longer assigned to the selected zone.
