REM3: Hand-held Two-way Remote Keypad
Reference and Installation Manual V1.10

PARADOX.COM
Printed in Canada - 05/2013
REM3-EI09

Overview

The REM3 combines the flexibility of a keypad with the convenience and mobility of a remote control. Its 15 buttons allow for a greater level of 
interaction with the system than regular remote controls, and the two-way transceiver allows for accurate feedback for up to two partitions.

Compatibility and Technical Specifications

The following table provides the compatibility and technical specifications for the REM3 Hand-held Two-way Remote Keypad.

MGSP Remote Control Programming

Use the following sections to program the various remote controls in your MGSP system.
