2.0 INSTALLATION

The following sections will detail how to mount and connect the Omnia Wireless
Receiver Module (OMN-RCV3).

2.1 LOCATION

Mount the Omnia Wireless Receiver on a wall allowing at least 5cm (2”) around the
module to p ermit adequ ate ve ntilat ion a nd he at diss ipati on. Se lect a site that i s not
susceptible to drastic temperature changes. 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 con di tion ers , and hea t er du cts since t hey may cause interference
and reduce the module’s sensitivity. We recommend installing the module in a
centralized location on the main floor. Avoid installing the module in the basement.
Refer to the appropriate Spectra Reference & Installation Manual for maximum
allowable distances between the control panel and the Wireless Receiver Module.

2.2 CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING

Firmly screw the antenna into the connector marked "
as shown in Figure 2.1 on page 5. Using a drill or screwdriver, punch out the four
mounting ho les on the back of th e plastic case. Alig n the six holes of t he printed
circuit board with the si x pins on the back plasti c moun ting cas e and sn ap into pl ace.
If placed correctly, the antenna will lean directly over the groove in the mounting
case.

Do not cut, bend, or alter the antenna. Avoid mounting the Receiver
Module near or o n me tal as t hi s ma y af f ect t he m odul e’ s s ens itivi ty.

ANT

Do not connect more than one OMN-RCV3 mod ule to the control pa nel.
The OMN-RCV3 does not function with the 1758/1758EX Spectra
control panel.

The Omnia Wireless Receiver Module is connected to the Spectra control panel's
communication bus in a star or daisy chain configuration. Refer to Figure 2.1 on
page 5.

3.0 PROGRAMMING

To successfully install an Omnia wireless system to your Spectra system, ensure
that the following steps are compl ete d:

1. Install the Omnia Receiver. Connect the Omnia Receiver to the Spectra control
panel and power up.

2. Assign the remote controls if necessary.

3. Assign the transmitters (door contacts and motion detectors), and program their
zones.

4. Install the transmitters. Insert the batteries, and close the transmitter cover.

5. Wait for the control panel to be in “ready” mode. The status light on the keypad
will be green when the control panel is ready.

6. In order to ensure proper synchronization between the transmitters and receiver,
open and close the transmitters’ covers and zones.

3.1 HOW TO ENTER PROGRAMMING MODE

Programming of the OMN-RCV3 is done in Programming Mode through any keypad
connected to the Spectra control panel.

The OMN-RCV3’s programming guide can be found in the appropriate
Spectra Programming Guide.

3.2 WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING

The programming of the wireless transmitters (detectors and door contacts) is
accomplished in two steps:

1. Assigning the detectors and door contacts to the Wireless Receiver Module.

2. Programming the zones in the Spectra control panel.

SSIGNING DETECTORS AND DOOR CONTACTS TO THE RECEIVER

SECTIONS

[601] TO [608]

In Spectra systems, up to 8 wireless transmitters (detectors and door
contacts) c an be assigned to each R eceiver Module. Sec tion [601] to [608]
represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively. For example, section [601] is
assigned to expansion input 1, section [602] is assigned to expansi on input 2,
etc. (refer to Table 3.1). Each Expansion Input represents a specific zone in
the system depending on the type of Spectra control panel being used and
whether the ATZ option is enabled (refer to the appropriate Spectra control
panel Programming Guide).
