The easiest way to extend your Ricochet® enabled alarm system and add some OPTEX external intrusion sensors is to use the BGR-01 wireless module.
The wireless transmitter has been specifically developed by Texecom, enabling OPTEX wireless sensors to be easily connected to any Ricochet Premier Elite panel (vers 3.01 onwards). The BGR-01 fits inside the sensors’ backbox, comes with the battery (CR123A) and all necessary cables required to connect it to the sensor.
The Ricochet Elite panel will recognise the OPTEX sensors by model as soon as they are connected, making the installation and configuration very quick and easy. It helps create a complete wireless solution which can protect both the outside and inside of the premises. For instance, our curtain or beam sensors can be added to protect windows, doors and driveways, while our volumetric pet tolerant sensors can protect the approach to sheds, garages or outer buildings.
By using the BGR-01, our wireless sensors will be recognised by the Texecom Premier Elite Ricochet alarm panel, just like any other Texecom Premier Elite Ricochet device. The registration process onto the wireless network described as ‘learn’ on the panel is automatically completed as soon as the CR123A battery is inserted in the BGR-01. If the Texecom Premier Elite control panel has built-in Ricochet technology, no additional receiver is needed. If the Texecom Premier Elite control panel is hardwired, an additional wireless expander Elite 8XP-W, 32XP-W will be required.
