skywalker Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I got to agree out of the wireless systems i have installed i would never go away from the ricochet, i have one in a castle with around 30 wireless devices and tbh apart from odd teathing problems its been great and worked really well, its been in around 3 years now, only calls we get is battery replacements that is the ONE place where a castle panel should have been installed!

Nova-Security Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Whats the maximum number of wireless devices on a Ricochet system ? Anywhere near 120 devices? Quote www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
Simlec Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 i think its 512 devices and 256 smartkeys on a elite 640 if i am reading it right. Quote
AdrianMealing Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Whats the maximum number of wireless devices on a Ricochet system ? Anywhere near 120 devices? 512 if you use a 640 panel, split across 32 way expanders i think its 512 devices and 256 smartkeys on a elite 640 if i am reading it right.

Simlec Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) An elite 168 will give you 128 devices. + Im not sure about device hopps though with regards positioning the expanders. Edited July 16, 2015 by Simlec Quote
Simlec Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 + the bill for 512 tex wireless detectors is very large ££££ Quote
AdrianMealing Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 An elite 168 will give you 128 devices. + Im not sure about device hopps though with regards positioning the expanders. 32 devices per expander, each expander uses its own wireless network (or rather a narrow portion of the operating overall frequency) device serial numbers are used to ID them to the correct expanders therefore avoiding any potential cross talk or interference.

Simlec Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Has tex ever tested 512 devices on one panel Ade? I wonder what the wait time would be before all devices would be ready for arming. Quote

Yes we had a system at the factory for about a year running 512 devices, if they were all dual techs which need to be woken up to arm the system, you would be waiting a while. Not recommended. However with standard PIR's or contacts and shocks, no problem, pretty much the same as a wired system. The panel knows its armed so any alarm signals from those devices are treated the same as a wired device. Even for dual techs whilst the time is short, it always seems a long time when you are stood in front of the keypad. Same as watching a kettle boil.
