(MG-RCV3) when used in conjunction with an Esprit security system or as a stand-alone system. When connected to an Esprit security system, the MG-RCV3 functions as an arm/ disarm module, whereby up to eight Magellan remote controls (MG-REM1) can perform actions such as remote arming and disarming, communicating panic alarms and activating programmable outputs (PGMs).
The following sections detail how to mount and connect the MG-RCV3. 2.1 Location The location of the MG-RCV3 affects its performance. In order to ensure the best possible signal reception, the following list of location criteria should be respected whenever possible: •...
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature changes • Mount the MG-RCV3 as high as possible • Avoid mounting the MG-RCV3 in the basement as the range of the module is reduced when mounted below ground level. However, if it is absolutely...

2.1 on page 2) with masking tape or any other temporary adhesive. 7. If connecting the MG-RCV3 to an Esprit control panel, connect the module to the control panel in a star or daisy chain configuration (refer to Figure 2.2 on page 6).
Figure 2.4: PGM Connections 3.0 About Programming When programming a MG-RCV3 that is connected to an Esprit security system, all the programming sections detailed in this manual apply. When programming a MG- RCV3 in stand-alone mode, only the sections detailed in Table 3.1 on page 9 apply.
3.1 Programming Methods When connected to an Esprit security system, or in stand-alone mode, the MG- RCV3 is programmed using an Esprit 636 or 646 LED keypad. The MG-RCV3 is programmed using a combination of the Decimal Select and Feature Select Programming methods.
4.1 Set Code Length [35]: SECTION OPTION Set the MG-RCV3 to accept either four- or six-digit user and installer codes. How to set the access code length. In step 4 in section 3.2 on page 10: 1. Enter section [35].
Esprit control panel, each of the following user parameters must be performed for every MG-RCV3 user. In stand-alone mode, assigning a user to the MG-RCV3 does not apply. Refer to Table 4.1 on page 11 for the relationship between the user parameter sections.
4.3.1 Assign a User to the MG-RCV3 (Esprit mode only) [01] [08] SECTIONS When a user presses a remote control’s button, the MG-RCV3 transmits the corresponding user code to the Esprit control panel. The control panel must receive a valid user code in order to process the action.
If a rejection beep is heard (“Beeeeeeeeeeeep”), the remote control assignment was not successful. The remote control may already be assigned. 4.3.3 Program the Remote Control Buttons [17] [24] SECTIONS Sections [17] to [24] correspond to remote controls 1 to 8 (refer to Table 4.1 on page 11).
4.4 Remote Control Button PGM Options [31] [34]: SECTIONS OPTIONS If a remote control’s buttons have the PGM feature enabled (refer to Table 4.3 on page 14), this feature determines which PGM outputs the respective buttons will activate. Each remote control button can be programmed to activate a different PGM.
ENTER 5.0 Programmable Outputs (PGMs) The MG-RCV3 provides four on-board PGM outputs, which can be used for a variety of home/office automation applications such as opening a garage door when a remote control button is pressed. For the PGM locations, refer to Figure 2.4 on page •...
5.1 PGM Connection The PGMs are connected as detailed in Figure 2.4 on page 8. 5.2 PGM Output Timer [27] [30] SECTIONS This feature determines whether an activated PGM will toggle back to its original state after a specified time period has elapsed or when toggled (latched) manually.
SECTION OPTIONS When a remote control activates a panic alarm, the MG-RCV3 can be programmed to activate one of the four on-board PGM outputs. Enable one of the options from [0] to [4] (refer to Table 6.1 on page 18) by pressing the corresponding keypad key.
SECTION OPTION When a remote control activates a panic alarm, the MG-RCV3 can either toggle only the remote control’s enabled PGM output (refer to section 6.1 on page 18) or toggle the remote control’s enabled PGM output and send a panic alarm code to the Esprit control panel.
7.0 System Reset Performing a system reset will reset all the MG-RCV3 sections to their factory default settings. How to reset the MG-RCV3. 1. Remove the power connections from the MG-RCV3 (“ ” and “ ”). 2. Press and hold the MG-RCV3’s “...
