Texecom Ricochet Relay-W 868MHz Wireless Mains Switch | GHG-0001

Wireless Mains Switching for Security, Automation & Remote Device Control

The Texecom Relay-W GHG-0001 is a wireless mains switch designed to provide secure control of mains-powered equipment through Texecom's Ricochet® wireless technology.

Operating on the 868MHz wireless frequency, the Relay-W can be integrated into a compatible Texecom security system to add wireless switching control to equipment such as lighting, CCTV systems, gates, barriers, sockets and other suitable mains-powered devices.

By combining Ricochet mesh networking with compatibility with the Texecom Connect app, the Relay-W provides a convenient way to incorporate electrical equipment into security and automation applications without requiring a direct control cable between the equipment and alarm panel.

Wireless Control of Mains-Powered Equipment

The Relay-W operates as a wireless switch for 240V AC circuits, allowing compatible mains-powered equipment to be controlled through the security system.

Commands are received wirelessly from the compatible alarm system using Texecom's Ricochet technology. The relay then switches the connected circuit according to the received command.

This provides a practical method of adding remote switching functionality without requiring a conventional control cable between the alarm system and the connected equipment.

Ricochet® Mesh Wireless Technology

The Relay-W uses Texecom Ricochet wireless technology, which differs from conventional point-to-point wireless communication by allowing compatible devices to receive and repeat transmissions.

This mesh architecture can extend the effective coverage of the wireless system, as communications can travel through other compatible Ricochet devices rather than relying exclusively on a direct connection with the control equipment.

The network is designed to provide robust wireless communication across larger or more complex installations where conventional point-to-point wireless coverage may be more challenging.

Texecom Connect App Control

When incorporated into a compatible Texecom system, connected equipment can be controlled through the Texecom Connect app.

This provides convenient remote management and allows electrical equipment to become part of a wider security and automation setup.

Depending on the system configuration, the Relay-W can be used to control equipment such as lighting or other connected devices remotely.

Add Wireless Control to Wired Equipment

The Relay-W provides a useful bridge between conventional mains-powered equipment and a Texecom wireless security system.

Suitable wired equipment can effectively be incorporated into the Ricochet ecosystem, providing wireless switching without requiring the controlled device itself to contain Texecom wireless technology.

This makes the Relay-W useful for both new installations and upgrades where existing equipment needs to be integrated with a security or automation system.

How the Relay-W Works

The Relay-W provides a straightforward switching process:

1. A control command is generated through the compatible Texecom security system.
2. The command is transmitted wirelessly using Ricochet technology.
3. The Relay-W receives the secure wireless instruction.
4. Its internal switching mechanism connects or disconnects the controlled mains circuit.
5. The connected equipment is switched according to the configured command.
