Page 13: Assign The Transmitters To The Mg-Rcv3
For example, do not assign a wireless transmitter to section [601], then connect a detection device to input Z1 of the APR3-ZX8. How to assign the transmitters to a MG-RCV3: Spectra Sections [601] to [608] represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively. For example, section [601] is assigned to expansion input 1 and section [602] is assigned to expansion input 2. -

Page 16: View A Transmitter's Signal Strength
[616] IGIPLEX SERIES SECTIONS Once the transmitters have been assigned to the MG-RCV3, the signal strength of each transmitter can be verified in these sections. For Spectra systems, you can also use a keypad’s beep sequence to determine a transmitter’s signal strength (refer to section 5.2.1 on page 13). -
Page 17: Signal Strength Keypad Beep Tones (Spectra Only)
5.2.1 Signal Strength Keypad Beep Tones (Spectra only) You can also use the MG-RCV3’s beep sequence feature to verify a transmitter’s signal strength (refer to section 5.2 on page 12). When you press a transmitter’s anti-tamper switch or open the corresponding zone, beep tones emanating from all the keypads connected to the communication bus will advise you of the transmitter’s signal strength. -
Page 18: View Transmitter's Previous Battery Life (Digiplex Series Only)
section represents the current battery life reading of a specific transmitter. For example, section [701] is the actual battery life reading for the transmitter assigned in section [101], and section [716] is the reading for the transmitter assigned in section [116]. How to view a transmitter’s current battery life: In step 5 in section 3.2 on page 8: 1. -
Page 19: Supervision Options
For Digiplex series systems, option [1] enables the Low Battery Supervision feature. When a transmitter’s battery voltage drops below a recommended level, its red LED will flash and it will transmit a signal to the MG-RCV3 indicating that the voltage is low. If this option is enabled, the MG-RCV3 will... -
Page 20: Check-In Supervision
IGIPLEX SERIES SECTION OPTION With check-in supervision enabled, the MG-RCV3 waits for each of its assigned transmitters to send a status signal within a specified time period to confirm their presence and functionality. If a transmitter has not sent a signal within that time period, the module will transmit a supervision loss signal to the control panel. -
Page 21: Tamper Supervision
(refer to Figure 2.2 on page 6) will be triggered. When this occurs, the MG-RCV3 will send a tamper signal to the control panel. The control panel can then generate a trouble, an alarm and/or can transmit a report code to the monitoring station. -
Page 22: On-Board Module Tamper Supervision Zone Assignment (Spectra Only)
[615]: 000 PECTRA SECTION Unlike when connected to a Digiplex series system, a MG-RCV3 that is connected to a Spectra system communicates a module tamper report through one of the module’s expansion inputs. This feature determines the expansion input that will be used for the tamper supervision. When... -
Page 23: On-Board Module Tamper Supervision (Digiplex Series Only)
IGIPLEX SERIES SECTION OPTION With this feature disabled, the MG-RCV3 will disregard any tamper signals coming from any of its assigned wireless transmitters. As a result, the MG- RCV3 will not send a tamper signal to the control panel therefore not generating a trouble, an alarm and/or a report code to be sent to the monitoring station. -
Page 24: Programmable Outputs
7.0 Programmable Outputs (PGMs) The MG-RCV3 comes equipped with four on-board PGM outputs. However, only PGMs 3 and 4 are used when connected to a Spectra or Digiplex series control panel. • PGM 1 and 2: Not used • PGM 3: Form “C” relay output rated at 5A/28Vdc, N.O./N.C •... -
Page 25: Remote Control Programming
Depending on the system being used, the MG-RCV3 supports up to 16 fully programmable remote controls without occupying any zones in the control panel. For Spectra systems, up to 8 remote controls can be assigned to a MG-RCV3. Digiplex series systems support up to 16 remote controls for every Magellan module. -
Page 26: Assign A Remote Control To The Magellan Module
[216] IGIPLEX SERIES SECTIONS Remote controls are assigned to the MG-RCV3 using the Automatic Learning method. For Spectra systems, up to eight remote controls can be assigned to a MG-RCV3. Depending on which Spectra control panel version you are using, the Automatic Learning method may differ. -
