FCC PART 15, WARNINGS INFORMATION TO USER
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class B digital devices, pursuant
to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to equipment intermittently, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: (1) re orient or
relocate the receiving antenna; (2) increase the separation between the equipment and receiver; (3)
connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit other than the one to which the receiver is connected, or
(4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/tv technician for assistance. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Esprit Programming: Press to enter programming mode in Esprit mode.
System Reset: Press and hold the Programming button for 5 seconds, the BUS RX LED will
flash. Release the button and press it again while the LED flashes to reset the module to its
default values. This is only possible in the first 30 seconds after the MG-RTX3 is powered
up.
J
Connect the Esprit 636/646 LED keypad to the “Program” connector to program in Esprit
and Stand Alone mode.
K
If the current draw exceeds 150mA on PGM1 or PGM2, use a relay. Connect the MG-
RTX3’s RED connector to the relay’s RED connector, and the PGM connector (PGM1 or
PGM2) to the relay’s BLK connector.
L
Connect PGM 3 and PGM4 to external power supplies if you need additional power. A PS-
817 is recommended. Connect the PGM’s N/O connector to the external power supply’s +
connection. Connect the power supply’s - connector to the device’s - connector. Connect
the PGM’s COM connector to the device’s + connector.
