Installation
In order to ensure the best possible signal reception, avoid mounting the MG-
RTX3 on metal, or in any location that could cause RF interference. Mount it as
high as possible and in locations not susceptible to drastic temperature changes.
Mount the MG-RTX3 in a location that allows at least 5cm (2") around the module
for adequate ventilation and heat dissipation.
If the environment is too noisy, the module's RF RX LED will turn on. When
performing the noise level test, make sure that there are no transmitters powered
up. Refer to the illustrations on the next page for additional information.
System Reset
Press and hold the Programming button for 5 seconds, the BUS RX LED will
flash. Release the button and press it again while the LED flashes to reset the
module to its default values. The system reset feature only functions during the
first 30 seconds after the MG-RTX3 is powered up.
Spectra SP Series Information
When connected to a Spectra SP series panel, the MG-RTX3 settings are
programmed into the panel. Refer to the panel's Programming Guide. Requires
version 2.0 or higher of the MG32LED or MG10LED keypads.
Digiplex EVO Programming
To enter programming mode with a Digiplex EVO panel, press and hold the [0] button. Enter the installer code and go to section
[4003]. Enter the MG-RTX3's 8-digit serial number. Enter the section number you wish to program.
WARNING: When used without an EVO641 or EVO641R keypad, enable option [1] in section [3029].
