Ricochet MT2
The Premier Elite Series™ of control panels have been upgraded to
V2.xx firmware which now contains Ricochet™ MT2 capability. This
new technology adds additional features and functions for
Ricochet™ enabled security systems. The Expanders used must be
Premier Elite XP-W V2.xx.
DO NOT mix V1 & MT2 expanders on the same Premier Elite panel
Multiple Expander Support
It is now possible to add multiple expanders to the system allowing
for greater flexibility in system design, and also taking wireless
capability to new levels. Additional device modes and diagnostics
functions also give more information about the system status, and
allow greater control over devices modes of operation.
Control Panel Capacity
The table below details the maximum number of expanders, devices
and Premier Elite SmartKey™ that may be used on the different
control panels, other configurations may be possible by mixing
Premier Elite 32XP-W & Premier Elite 8XP-W.

To enable all of the advanced functionality and diagnostics capability
Ricochet™ MT2 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 Ricochet MT2
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
INS467 for details. 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.
Learning Premier Elite SmartKey™
On Ricochet MT2 systems 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 INS467 for details
Devices also have a commission mode which will indicate a secure
and valid path of communication to the receiver. See INS467 for
details
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.
