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.
