EVO Remote Control Programming

Use the following section to program the various remote controls in your EVO system.

It is possible to configure up to 16 different button templates, which are then assigned to individual users. Each user is pre-programmed with 
a default button pattern for their remote control: (1 B) (C 0) (template 0).

Note: Button definitions and partition/one-touch definitions are linked together to create a button template. For example, Template 0 is 
comprised of button definition 

[2900]

 together with partition/one-touch definition 

[2916]

.

Signal Strength Display

Press 

[i] 

in diagnostic mode to 

activate the signal strength display. 
This shows the quality of the signal 
received by the control panel or 
RTX3. It also allows the evaluation of 
a site before the installation of any 
wireless transmitter. For example, 
place the REM3 where you intend to 
install a wireless door contact to see 
the quality of the signal strength.

RF Activity

This shows the amount of RF 
activity found on the same 
frequency as the REM3. If the 
four LEDs stay lit up, RF 
interference has been 
detected. This can be used to 
confirm the presence of RF 
interference before 
installation.
