Installation
Installation Notes
Refer to the Figure 2 for the following connections and instructions.
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.
Write down the serial number of all wireless modules used with the RTX3.
