4.3 LOW BATTERY SUPERVISION
When the battery voltage of an Omnia wireless transmitter (motion detector or door
contact) d rops to less t han 3.1V, the Spectra cont rol panel wil l send a low b attery
report code to the monitoring station, and a trouble will appear in the keypad’s
trouble display.
4.4 ON-BOARD MODULE TAMPER SUPERVISION ZONE ASSIGNMENT
S
The OMN-RCV3 comes equipped with an on-board tamper switch. This feature will
allow a module tamper to report through one of the module’s Expansion Inputs
(zone). When a tamper is detected on the module, it will send a Zone Tamper report
code to the control panel via the communication bus. The Zone Tamper report code
will originate from the zone defined by the Expansion Input (001-008) you have
programmed in section [615]. Please note that the corresponding zone must be
programmed (refer to the appropriate Spectra Reference & Installation Manual for
more details).
For example, when you program 003 (Expansion Input 3) in section [615] of a
Spectra 1728 panel wi th the ATZ feature enabled, and a tampe r occu rs on the OMNRCV3 module, the control panel will transmit the Zone Tamper report code as
originating from zone 15.

6.0 REMOTE CONTROL PROGRAMMING
The Omnia Wireless Receiver Module accepts up to eight fully programmable
remote controls. Programming the remote controls is accomplished in three steps:
1. The remote controls must be assigned to the Wireless Receiver Module.
2. The remote controls from the Wireless Receiver Module must be assigned to
User Access Codes.
3. The buttons on the remote controls must be programmed.
In Spectra systems, sections [721]/[731] to [728]/[738], [701] to [708], and [711] to[718] are all interrelated. For example, when assigning a remote control to the
Receiver Module:
1. The remote control is assigned using the Automatic Learning method in sections
[721]/[731] to [728]/[738].
2. The remote control is assigned to User Access Codes in sections [701] to [708].
3. The remote control’s buttons are programmed in sections [711] to [718].
The remote control will transmit a signal for only 1 second when a button is
pressed. This is done to conserve the remote control’s batteries.
