AUX Power
Refer to transformer requirements on page 61 for Aux.
Power Output. To connect additional wiring to auxiliary
power, use the red (+) and black (-) keypad connectors.
Auxiliary power will shut down ifcurrent exceeds 1.1A. If the
auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down, you must
disconnect all loads from the output for at least 10 seconds
before reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary output.
To provide maximum lightning protection
we strongly recommend having separate
earth connections for the dialer and zone
ground terminals.

Codes and Panel Reset
IMPORTANT: When using an SP Series panel, all wireless sections and options do not apply unless an RTX3 is used in
conjunction with the panel.
IMPORTANT: When using an SP6000 panel in conjunction with an RTX3, all K32 and K10V/H keypads must be versions
2.0 or higher.
IMPORTANT: The K32I Fixed LCD keypad module is only compatible with MG/SP panel version 2.30 and higher.
System Overview
Viewing Version Numbers
Installer Code (Default: 0000 / 000000) The Installer code is used to enter programming mode, which allows you to program everything
except user codes. To change the default code, go to section [397] on page 8 and refer to sec-
tion [701] option [1] on page 23.
Maintenance Code (No Default) The Maintenance code is used to enter programming mode, which allows you to
program everything except for user codes and communication settings (sections [395], [397],
[398], [815], [816], [817], [910], [911], [970], and [975]). To set the default code, go to section
[398] on page 8 and refer to section [701] option [1] on page 23.
System Master Code (Default: 1234 / 123456) The System Master code can use any arming method and can program user codes. To change
the default code, go to section [399] on page 8 and refer to section [701] option [1] on page 23.
Panel Reset Press and hold the RESET switch for five seconds. When the STATUS LED flashes, press the
RESET switch within 2 seconds. However, this will not clear a bus module trouble (see section
[955]). To reset the panel to default using section programming (see section [950]).
