Control panel Digiplex connection. 2. Use a relay if the current draw exceeds 150mA on PGM1 or PGM2. Connect the RTX3s RED connector to the relays RED connector, and the RTX3s PGM connector (PGM1 or PGM2) to the relays BLK connector. 3. Connect PGM3 and PGM4 to external power supplies if additional power is required. A PS25 is recommended. Connect the PGMs N.O. connector to the external power supplys + connection. Connect the power supplys - connector to the devices - connector. Connect the PGMs COM connector to the devices + connector. Write down the serial number of all wireless modules used with the RTX3. System Reset for EVO Panels 1. Press and hold the [0] key. 2. Enter the [INSTALLER CODE]. 3. Enter section [4001]. 4. Enter the module [SERIAL NUMBER]. System Reset restores the RTX3s factory settings. LED Feedback LED POWER BUS RF - RX RF - TX OFF OFF ON OK (10.5V to 16V) No clock or data exchange Clock and data OK Not receiving data Not transmitting data Flashes green when receiving data Flashes green when transmitting data Programming RTX3 for SP Series Panels When connected to a SP Series control panel, RTX3 settings are programmed through control panel programming sections. For detailed instructions refer to the SP Series Programming Guide. Notes:
Only one RTX3 module can be connected to a SP Series panel. Programming for EVO Series Panels Program RTX3 settings for EVO panels with either a keypad or BabyWare PC software. Programming RTX3 with a Keypad When connected to an EVO panel, program RTX3 settings through the keypad by entering Module Programming Mode. To enter Module Programming mode:
1. Press and hold the [0] key. 2. Enter the [INSTALLER CODE]. 3. Enter section [4003]. 4. Enter the module [SERIAL NUMBER]. 5. Enter the required [DATA]. After Programming RTX3 for EVO Control Panels Program the zones, PGMs, sirens and remote controls into the EVO panel. Refer to EVO section [3034] and RTX3 section [001] options [2] and [3] for wireless transmitter supervision options. Requirement: Configure all wireless sirens in an EVO system to a single RTX3.
