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 page 44.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 page 44.
Devices also have a commission mode which will indicate a secure and valid path of
communication to the receiver. See page 44.
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.
