Introduction; Technical Specifications - Paradox MG-RCV3 Reference And Installation Manual

1.0 Introduction

This manual details how to connect, program and operate the Magellan wireless
expansion module (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). In stand-alone mode, the remote
controls will only activate the four on-board PGMs.
