![6 Reference & Installation ManualTo successfully install an Omnia wireless system to your Spectra system, ensurethat the following steps are completed:1. Install the Omnia Receiver. Connect the Omnia Receiver to the Spectra controlpanel and power up.2. Assign the remote controls if necessary.3. Assign the transmitters (door contacts and motion detectors), and program theirzones.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 keypadwill 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 MODEProgramming of the OMN-RCV3 is done in Programming Mode through any keypadconnected to the Spectra control panel.The OMN-RCV3’s programming guide can be found in the appropriateSpectra Programming Guide.3.2 WIRELESS TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMINGThe programming of the wireless transmitters (detectors and door contacts) isaccomplished in two steps:1. Assigning the detectors and door contacts to the Wireless Receiver Module.2. Programming the zones in the Spectra control panel.How to enter programming mode.1. Press the [ENTER] button.2. Enter your [INSTALLER CODE] (default = 000000).3. Enter the [SECTION NUMBER] you wish to program.4.

![Omnia 73.2.1 ASSIGNING DETECTORS AND DOOR CONTACTS TO THE RECEIVERSECTIONS [601] TO [608]In Spectra systems, up to 8 wireless transmitters (detectors and doorcontacts) can be assigned to each Receiver Module. Section [601] to [608]represent expansion inputs 1 to 8 respectively. For example, section [601] isassigned to expansion input 1, section [602] is assigned to expansion input 2,etc. (refer to Table 3.1). Each Expansion Input represents a specific zone inthe system depending on the type of Spectra control panel being used andwhether the ATZ option is enabled (refer to the appropriate Spectra controlpanel Programming Guide).Table 3.1: Sections and Expansion InputsDo not assign detection devices from different modules to the sameexpansion input.

Each section represents the signal strength viewer for a specificdevice. For example, section [631] is the viewer for the device in section [601] andsection [638] is the viewer for the device in section [608]. Please note that thisfeature will only work with wireless transmitters that have already been assigned toan Expansion Input (zone) as described in section 3.2.1 on page 7.

For example, ifthe timer is set to 12 min (option [5]=off ; option [2]=on), the transmitters will send astatus signal every 12 minutes to the Receiver Module. If the OMN-RCV3 does notreceive a signal from one of its wireless transmitters within the period defined here, itcan send a Supervision Loss signal to the control panel. Refer to section 4.1 forinstructions on enabling check-in supervision.The assigned transmitters must be set to the same Check-In timer settingas the Receiver. For example, if the Receiver Check-In timer is set at 12hours, the transmitters’ Check-In timers must also be 12 hours.How to enable check-in supervision.In step 3 in section 3.1 on page 6:1.

This feature willallow a module tamper to report through one of the module’s Expansion Inputs(zone). When a tamper is detected on the module, it will send a Zone Tamper reportcode to the control panel via the communication bus. The Zone Tamper report codewill originate from the zone defined by the Expansion Input (001-008) you haveprogrammed in section [615]. Please note that the corresponding zone must beprogrammed (refer to the appropriate Spectra Reference & Installation Manual formore details).For example, when you program 003 (Expansion Input 3) in section [615] of aSpectra 1728 panel with the ATZ feature enabled, and a tamper occurs on the OMN-RCV3 module, the control panel will transmit the Zone Tamper report code asoriginating from zone 15.If you Enable the OMN-RCV3’s tamper switch in section [615], the tamperswitch will occupy one of the zones.How to assign the Receiver’s tamper switch to a zone.In step 3 in section 3.1 on page 6:1.

![Omnia 13The Omnia Wireless Receiver Module accepts up to eight fully programmableremote controls. Programming the remote controls is accomplished in three steps:1. The remote controls must be assigned to the Wireless Receiver Module.2. The remote controls from the Wireless Receiver Module must be assigned toUser Access Codes. 3. The buttons on the remote controls must be programmed.In Spectra systems, sections [721]/[731] to [728]/[738], [701] to [708], and [711] to[718] are all interrelated. For example, when assigning a remote control to theReceiver Module: 1. The remote control is assigned using the Automatic Learning method in sections[721]/[731] to [728]/[738].2. The remote control is assigned to User Access Codes in sections [701] to [708].3. The remote control’s buttons are programmed in sections [711] to [718].The remote control will transmit a signal for only 1 second when a button ispressed. This is done to conserve the remote control’s batteries.5.1 ASSIGNING A REMOTE CONTROL TO THE RECEIVER MODULESECTIONS [721] / [731] TO [728] / [738]Remote controls are assigned to the module using the Automatic Learning method.Depending on which Spectra system version you are using, the automatic learningmethod differs.

![14 Reference & Installation ManualFor installations using a Spectra control panel version 2.0 or higher:If you are having trouble assigning the remote control, the environmentmay be too noisy. Therefore, we recommend that you assign the remotecontrols before installing the detectors and door contacts.5.2 ASSIGNING THE REMOTE CONTROLS TO USER ACCESS CODESSECTIONS [701] TO [708]: Each remote control must be assigned to a User Access Code. All User Access Codesare given a User Number from 001 to 048. Enter the desired User Number in a sectionfrom [701] to [708] that represent the remote control assigned in sections [721]/[731] to[728]/[738] (refer to section 5.1 on page 13). For example, the remote control assignedin section [731] will be assigned to the User Access Code designated in section [701].5.3 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL BUTTONSSECTIONS [711] TO [718]Each remote control can be programmed to send a signal to the control panel to performup to 8 different actions. Each digit in sections [711] to [718] represents a button orcombination of buttons (refer to Table 5.1 on page 15). When a user arms or disarmsusing the remote control, the control panel will arm or disarm all the areas assigned tothe User Access Code. For example, you arm with a remote control whose User AccessCode is assigned to areas 1 and 2, the control panel will attempt to arm areas 1 and 2.How to assign a remote control to the receiver module (V2.0 and higher).In step 3 in section 3.1 on page 6:1.
