Before Programming
1.
Connect the RTX3 according to the installation guide.
2.
Write down the serial number of all wireless modules to be used with
the RTX3. If this installation replaces another RTX3, ensure the
programming can be transferred.
3.
Ensure every wireless module works properly and that you have the
latest version of the firmware for the RTX3 and panels.
System Reset
Press and hold the Programming button for 5 seconds, the BUS RX LED
flashes. 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 RTX3 is powered up.
Programming with Spectra SP Series
When connected to a Spectra SP series panel, the RTX3 settings are programmed into the panel. Refer to the panel's
Programming Guide. Requires version 2.0 or higher of the K32 or K10H/V keypads. Only one RTX3 can be connected to
a Spectra SP Series panel.
Programming with Digiplex EVO
To enter programming mode with a Digiplex EVO panel:
1.
Press and hold the [0] button. Enter the installer code and go to section [4003].
2.
Enter the RTX3's 8-digit serial number.
3.
Enter the section number you wish to program.
After Programming with EVO
Program the zones, PGMs, and remotes into the EVO panel. For wireless transmitter supervision options, refer to EVO
section [3034] and RTX3 section [001] options [2] and [3].
