Magellan Wireless Expansion Module 7
3.0 About Programming
The following steps must be completed in order to successfully install a MG-RCV3 to
a Spectra or Digiplex series system.
1. Temporarily mount the MG-RCV3 in its proposed location (refer to section 2.3
on page 3).
2. Assign the remote controls (refer to section 8.0 on page 21).
3. Assign the transmitters (refer to section 4.1 on page 9).
4. Wait for the control panel to be in “ready” mode (keypad’s green “status” light
will illuminate) and then open and close the transmitters’ covers in order to
ensure proper communication between the transmitters and the Magellan
module.
5. Perform a signal strength test (refer to section 5.2 on page 12) for every
transmitter to ensure the best possible mounting location.
6. Permanently mount the MG-RCV3 and transmitters.
7. Program the zones in the Spectra or Digiplex series control panel.
Refer to the appropriate Spectra or Digiplex series Reference & Installation
Manual for instructions on programming the zones.
When installing a wireless smoke detector to be used with a Spectra
system, the corresponding zone must be programmed as follows:
• The zone must be defined as a 24Hr Burglary zone
• The zone’s alarm type must be set to Audible Alarm (pulsed)
• The zone’s Auto-Zone Shutdown (zone option [1]) and Bypass (zone
option [2]) features must be disabled.
Refer to the appropriate Spectra Reference & Installation Manual and
Programming Guide for more information on zone programming.
