Stand Alone Use
The RTX3 can be used as a Stand Alone module. The programming sections
are the same as when used with an Esprit with the following exceptions:
• In Stand Alone mode, section [001], option [1] and option [2] will not affect
system use.
• Panic alarms can only be used to toggle PGMs on the RTX3 in Stand Alone
mode.
• Sections [301] to [332] do not have to be programmed.
NOTE: To program wireless transmitters in Stand Alone mode, you must use a
PX8 in conjunction with the RTX3. Refer to the PX8 Instructions for more
information.
Firmware Upgrade
The RTX3 firmware can be upgraded using either a serial connection or a four-
wire connection. For firmware upgrade instructions, refer to the Firmware
Upgrade Instructions document which is available at paradox.com > Software >
WinLoad. To upgrade an RTX3 on an Imperial system, refer to the RTX3
chapter in the Imperial System Guide.
