User's Manual

The MG-RTX3 is a 2-Way Wireless Expansion Module for use with any
Digiplex EVO, Spectra SP, and Esprit series control panel. It is also
compatible with the DGP-NE96 and DGP-848 control panels.
What’s New with Version 1.2
• The MG-RTX3's built-in LEDs now display the status of the Spectra SP
Series as shown in F on Table 6.
• The MG-RTX3 with Digiplex EVO now supports MG-REM2 V2.01
remotes programmed directly in the panel. These remotes can also
support the new visual and auditory feedback. When programming with
Digiplex EVO, use section [002] to switch between V2.00 mode or V2.01
mode for all MG-REM2.
Before Programming
1. Connect the MG-RTX3 according to the installation guide.
2. Write down the serial number of all wireless modules to be used with
the MG-RTX3. If this installation replaces another MG-RTX3, make
sure the programming can be transfered.
3. Make sure every wireless module works properly and that you have
the latest version of the firmware for the MG-RTX3 and panels.
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.

Instructions
Spectra SP Series Programming
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. You can
only connect one MG-RTX3 on a Spectra SP Series panel.
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.
After Programming with EVO
Program the zones, PGMs, and remotes into the EVO panel. Look at EVO section [3034] for wireless transmitter
supervision options.
WARNING: When used without an EVO641 or EVO641R keypad, enable option [1] in section [3029].

Remote Controls
Program 999 remotes with one MG-RTX3 using an EVO641/EVO641R keypad (refer to User Code and
Remote Control programming in the Digiplex EVO Programming Guide).
If you are not using an EVO641/EVO641R keypad, program 32 remotes per MG-RTX3 as detailed in
Table 3.
