1.0 Introduction

This manual details how to connect, program and operate the Magellan wireless
expansion module (MG-RCV3) when used in conjunction with a Spectra or a
Digiplex series (DGP-848 or DGP-NE96) security system.
The MG-RCV3 is available in either a 433MHz or 868MHz version. When connected
to a Spectra system, the MG-RCV3 allows you to add up to eight Magellan wireless
transmitters, and up to eight fully programmable Magellan remote controls. When
connected to a Digiplex series system, the MG-RCV3 allows you to add up to 16
Magellan wireless transmitters, and up to 16 fully programmable Magellan remote
controls.
The MG-RCV3 cannot be connected to the Spectra 1727 and 1759MG
control panels.
