Premier Elite Ricochet Kits Quick Guide
INS626 3
Introduction
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 Premier 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.
This quick start guide will enable you to install and programme the system. Detailed instruction manuals for all of the components
of the kits can be found on the enclosed CD. Any additional items purchased will also contain detailed instructions.
