2. Premier Elite 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 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 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.

System Requirements
To enable all of the advanced functionality and diagnostics capability Ricochet the following are minimum
requirements:-
•Wintex™ Version 6 Build 16 or later
•Ricochet Monitor™ 0.2.15.00 or later
•Premier Elite™ Series V2.xx or later
•Premier Elite™ 32XP-W & 8-W Expanders V2.xx or later
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 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.

Premier Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual
INS467-6 5
Connect Receiver to Control
Panel Network & Leave
Tamper Circuit Open.
See Page 7
Learning Premier Elite SmartKey™
Premier Elite SmartKey™ should only be learned AFTER all devices and expanders are in their final
location, this is critical on larger systems where multiple expanders are being used
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 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.
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 Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual
8 INS467-6
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:

Never set two expanders on the same network to the same address. Expanders are factory set to address 1.On
legacy panels the expander will occupy 1 x Expander slot on the control panel, as well as the Network Receiver
slot.
Ricochet Expander Addressing
Introduction
The address range and switch position will depend on which combination of expanders are being used. Each
32XP-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 32XP-W is being used at Address 1, but only 16
devices have been used, Address 3 & 4 are available for hardwired 8XP's or 8XP-W's.
Please see some examples of mixing different types of Expanders on various Elite panels and the addressing
requirements.

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 the Impaq Contact-W and Impaq Plus-W.
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.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. When in the mode devices are asleep
when the system is set, 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. This mode of operation is the default mode for XT-W, QD-W &
DT-W.
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.
Expander O/P Mode
Expander O/P modes are for future use and should not be used with any of the devices listed above.
Zone Types & Attributes
detailed instructions for programming can be found in INS176-8 or later.

Premier Elite SmartKey™
Introduction
Premier Elite SmartKey™ are now learnt and all functionality managed through the “Setup Users” Menu.
Ricochetand Premier Elite Series V2.xx firmware upgrades add additional capabilities to the management of
Premier Elite SmartKey™. In multiple expander systems it is now possible to choose which zones (and
therefore expander) the Premier Elite SmartKey™ will use for its routeing, LED and Aux functions can also be
changed within the “Setup Users” menu.
All users on the system can have a Premier Elite SmartKey™ a TAG and a code, or any combination of them.
This section only deals with Premier Elite SmartKey™ learning and routeing, all other user programmable
options can be found in INS176-8 or later Premier Elite Series Installation Manual.
Great care should be taken when using large numbers of Premier Elite SmartKey™, only one Premier Elite
SmartKey™ per expander can be used by the system at any one time, and on Multiple expanders systems, or
large sites, functionality should be checked in all areas of the site where the device may be used.
Premier Elite SmartKey™ Routeing
Premier Elite SmartKey™ should only be learned to the system AFTER all devices have been learned and
placed in their final location. Whilst it is possible to learn at any point during the programming of the system,
learning and testing the functionality of the Premier Elite SmartKey™ after all devices have been placed will
ensure that the Premier Elite SmartKey™ performs as expected, and works in locations where the user
would expect it too.
Route By
The Route By function allows you to select which Zones (and therefore expander) the Premier Elite
SmartKey™ will use on the system for its routeing. This should be selected BEFORE the device has been
learned.
In the examples below Fig 1 shows the zones associated with Expander 1, which is a 32XP-W, and Fig 2
shows Expander 2 which is also a 32XP-W, when using 8XP-W there will obviously be less devices that the
Premier Elite SmartKey™ can use.

The key is used to select this menu and the Ukey used to select which expander and associated
zones will be used
Once a Premier Elite SmartKey™ has been learned the key will show which zones are being used for
routeing. It is not possible to alter this once learned. To change the routeing the Premier Elite SmartKey™
should be deleted and the process started from the beginning.
Deleting a Premier Elite SmartKey™
Deleting the Premier Elite SmartKey™ from the user is a similar process to learning, at the appropriate point
in the menu press followed by , the Premier Elite SmartKey™ will be removed from the User. To
delete all user data see INS176-8 or later.

Once the 16 slots on a XP-W are taken up, the learn process will fail and display 'No spaces left'.
In either of the Premier Elite SmartKey™ menu displays, any Premier Elite SmartKey™ that logs onto the system
will cause the menu to change to that Premier Elite SmartKey™ - a handy way of finding out which user a
Premier Elite SmartKey™ in your hand belongs to!

Configuring Radio devices
Up to 32 wireless devices of any combination can be learnt on to the system. The number of SmartKey™ is
limited to the maximum number of users (i.e. 50 0n the Premier Elite 48).

Premier Elite 8XP-W & 32XP-W Installation Manual
INS467-6 17
On the 8XP-W the maximum number of devices including 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.
