Ricochet MT2 Addendum
2 ADD068
Introduction
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. The details of this addendum apply only to those changes.
This addendum should be used in conjunction with the Premier Elite Series™ installation manual INS176-8 or later, and INS467-4 or
later.
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.

System Requirements
To enable all of the advanced functionality and diagnostics capability of the V2 upgrade 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
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, (see INS467
for details). This will ensure that they are registered on the receiver or control panel, and that Mesh Networks and routeing 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.
Learning Premier Elite SmartKey™
Premier Elite SmartKey™ should be learned AFTER all other systems devices and expanders have been learned and setup, this will
ensure you can choose the correct routeing for the Premier Elite SmartKey™ and that it will function in the correct areas of the
premises
