After Programming RTX3 for EVO Control Panels
The RTX3 is a 2-way, 32 zone wireless expansion module which enables EVO
and SP Series control panels to support wireless hardware such as sirens, motion
detectors, water detectors, and remote controls.
Refer to the Figure 2 for the following connections and instructions.
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.
RTX3 Board and Connectors
1. Control panel Digiplex connection.
2. Use a relay if the current draw exceeds 150mA on PGM1 or PGM2. Connect
the RTX3’s RED connector to the relay’s RED connector, and the RTX3’s PGM
connector (PGM1 or PGM2) to the relay’s BLK connector.
3. Connect PGM3 and PGM4 to external power supplies if additional power is
required. A PS25 is recommended. Connect the PGM’s N.O. connector to the
external power supply’s “+” connection. Connect the power supply’s “-”
connector to the device’s “-” connector. Connect the PGM’s COM connector to
the device’s “+” connector.

FCC WARNING
Option [8]: Flexible PGM deactivation**, refer to table
* For a complete list of events, refer to the PGM programming section of your
EVO Programming Guide.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (Paradox Security Systems Ltd.) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
** In order to use the “Flexible PGM deactivation” option [8], the PGM deactivation
after option [1] must be ON.
