1.0 Introduction
This manual details how to connect, program and operate the Magellan wireless
expansion module (MG-RCV3) when used in conjunction with an Esprit security
system or as a stand-alone system.
When connected to an Esprit security system, the MG-RCV3 functions as an arm/
disarm module, whereby up to eight Magellan remote controls (MG-REM1) can
perform actions such as remote arming and disarming, communicating panic alarms
and activating programmable outputs (PGMs). In stand-alone mode, the remote
controls will only activate the four on-board PGMs.
1.1 Technical Specifications

• Approvals: 433MHz
868MH
Specificat ions may change without prior notice.
1.2 System Features
• Auto-Panel Recognition
• Supports up to 8 users
• Supports up to 8 Magellan remote controls (MG-REM1)
• 4 on-board programmable outputs (PGMs)
• On-board anti-tamper switch
• Stand-alone operation (trigger PGMs only) or in conjunction with an Espr it
control panel (arm/disarm, panic alarms, PGM activation)
z
Compliant to all EU and EFTA
countries except Gr ee ce according
to RTT&E directives.
868MHz version is not UL approved
• Programming keypad (636, 646) connects directly to the MG-RCV3
2.0 Installation
The following sections detail how to mount and connect the MG-RCV3.
2.1 Location
The location of the MG-RCV3 affects its performance. In order to ensure the
best possible signal reception, the following list of location criteria should be
respected whenever possible:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that reflect and absorb
radio frequency (RF) signals, as well as interference that may distort signals.
Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights,
computers), on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners,

and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce the module’s
sensitivity
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic temperature changes
• Mount the MG-RCV3 as high as possible
• Avoid mounting the MG-RCV3 in the basement as the range of the module is
reduced when mounted below ground level. However, if it is absolutely
necessary to mount the module in the basement, mount the module as high
and as close to the underside of the first floor as possible
• Mount the MG-RCV3 on a wall allowing at least 5cm (2in) around the module
to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation
For the maximum allowable distance between the control panel and
the MG-RCV3, refer to Figure 2.2 on page 6.
2.2 Noise Level Test
The MG-RCV3 performs a test on power-up that verifies the noise level in the
surrounding environment. If the environment is too noisy , the module’s RX LED
will illuminate (refer to Figure 2.2 on page 6) and will remain illuminated until
the module is powered up again. In such cases, power down the MG-RCV3,
change its location, and then power up. Repeat this procedure until the
module’s RX LED no longer illuminates. If all possible mounting locations have
been tested and the environment is still too noisy, be aware that the wireless
system may not function properly.
2.3 Connections and Mounting
1. Using a screwdriver, remove the screw on the MG-RCV3’s front cover and
then remove the front cover.
2. Firmly screw the antenna into the connector marked ANT on the MG-RCV3
(refer to Figure 2.1 on page 5).
3. Remove the printed circuit board (PCB) by applying outward pressure to
the mounting clips (refer to Figure 2.1 on page 5) and then lifting the PCB.
4. Using a drill or screwdriver, punch out the four mounting holes on the back
cover (refer to Figure 2.1 on page 5).
5. Align the six orientation holes (refer to Figure 2.1 on page 5) of the PCB

with the six pins on the back cover and snap the PCB into place. If placed
correctly, the antenna will lean di rectly over the groove in the back cover.
6. Temporarily mount the MG-RCV3 in its proposed location (refer to section
2.1 on page 2) with masking tape or any other temporary adhesive.
7. If connecting the MG-RCV3 to an Esprit control panel, connect the module
to the control panel in a star or daisy chain configuration (refer to Figure 2.2
on page 6). When used as a stand-alone module, connect the module
using an external 12Vdc power supply that is equipped with a backup
battery connector (refer to Figure 2.3 on page 7).
8. Ve rify the environment noise surrounding the MG-RCV3 (refer to section
2.2 on page 3).
9. Assign the users and/or remote controls, and then program the remote
control buttons (refer to section 4.3 on page 11).
10. Test the location of the MG-RCV3 by performing an action using an
assigned remote control from a typical distance and location.
11. Permanently mount the MG-RCV3.
Do not cut, bend, or alter the antenna. Ensure that the electrical wires
do not cross over the antenna when connected.
