System Devices
Auto Mode
Auto Mode is the default device setting for the Premier Elite XT-W QD-W when used on V1 systems.
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 Contac-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. See page 44 for
details. The number of devices on a system in this mode should be kept to a minimum.
Hybrid Mode (Ricochet MT2 only)
Hybrid mode is used to control the reporting functions for devices. When in this 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, when used in MT2 systems.
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 affect 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. Please see the Battery Considerations section on page 47
