Agility 3 Installation Quick Start Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Agility 3 Flexible Wireless Solution from RISC Group. This quick
start guide will describe the main steps for installing and programming the Agility 3 using the 2-
way wireless keypad.
1.Install the main unit
1. Disconnect the mounting bracket from the main unit by releasing the locking screws and
disconnecting the ribbon flat cable.
2. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall.
3. Connect a power wire to the power terminal located on the power supply unit of the
mounting bracket.
4. Remove the battery compartment cover screw and connect the flying leads to the battery
according to the correct polarity (Red +) (Black -).
5. n the main unit connect a phone cable, a network (IP) cable, and insert a SIM card to the
GSM/GPRS module as required (If fitted)
6. Re-connect ribbon flat cable, connect the main unit back to the mounting bracket and lock the
locking screws.
7. Power up the Agility. "Security system is on" message will be announced.
2. Keypad Allocation and Language Selection
New systems require a default language specification before any further configuration. System
language specification through “enrollment” (see below) of new system initial keypad is performed
as follows:
To define the keypad and system language:
1. After the Agility is connected to the power supply press the button on the main unit for 5
seconds. The unit beeps once and enters “Learn” mode. The LEDs light up one after the
other.
2. Send an RF signal “write message” from the 2-way LCD keypad by pressing both keys
and simultaneously for at least 2 seconds until a generic device allocation message is
broadcast and also displayed on the keypad.
3. In the displayed language menu, select the system language (and customer default) settings
and then press
Note: If the keypad lapses into sleep-mode before you have chosen the language, restore the
choose-system-language display through simultaneously pressing [*] and [9])
3.Wireless Device Enrollment (After Keypad Enrollment)
Each wireless device must identify itself to the system receiver, in a process termed “enrollment”.

Agility 3 Installation Quick Start Guide4
Enrolling the wireless devices can be performed either from the main unit, a wireless keypad or via
the Configuration Software. Enrollment can be performed by sending an RF signal from each
device, or by entering the device s unique serial code into the system.
The following steps describe quick enrollment by RF signal. For enrollment through the keypad or
via the Configuration Software refer to the installer manual.
To enroll wireless devices via RF signal:
1. If the panel is no longer in learn mode, press the button on the main unit for 5 seconds. The
unit beeps once and enters “Learn” mode. The LEDs light up one after the other.
2. Send an RF signal “write message” from each device. The unit beeps once to accept or three
times to reject. Once accepted the system sounds a local message describing the device type
and its assignment (e.g., zone 1). For future use, you may want to note down the assignment
of each device.
How to send a write message (transmission):
Wireless Device Sending Write Message
2-Way Keypad Press both keys and simultaneously for at
least 2 seconds.
Detector/Contacts Press the tamper switch for 3 seconds.
1-Way Keypad Press the key twice.
1-Way Key ob Press the button for at least 2 seconds.
2-Way Key ob Press both keys and simultaneously for at
least 2 seconds.
Smoke Detector Insert battery. Write message is sent automatically
when the tamper is closed.
Siren Press the reset switch on the siren. After a squawk
is sounded at the siren you have 10 seconds to
press on the tamper switch for at least 3 seconds.
Gas, CO detectors Press the tamper switch for 3 seconds.
2 Panic Button Key ob Press both buttons for at least 7 seconds.
Wrist Band Panic Press the button(s) for at least 7 seconds.
3. When all the devices have been enrolled, give the panel button a short press to exit “Learn”
mode. The unit beeps once and the LEDs stop flashing.
4.Keypad Programming
There are several options for programming the Agility: Configuration Software, wireless keypad, or
memory card (PTM). The following sections explain how to program Agility from the LCD keypad.
The following table describes the uses of the keypad keys during programming:

Agility 3 Installation Quick Start Guide 5
- to wake the keypad up, go back one level, exit menus, disregard
change (similar to the Esc key)
- to select (similar to the Enter key)
- to scroll
- to change selections (e.g., Y to )
- to exit the programming mode from the root menu
5.Accessing Installer Menu
1. Press to wake up the keypad.
2. Enter the installer's code 0132 (default code).
6.Seting the System Clock
To set the system clock
1. From the Engineer menu, select 5) Clock.
2. Set the Time & Date.
7.Measure Noise and Calibrate the Receiver
Once a keypad has been enrolled, you can use it to control the main unit. The first step is to measure
the background "noise" that the receiver can "hear" on the same frequency as the Agility wireless
devices. This noise may be generated by other devices operating on the same frequency nearby.
This gives an indication of whether you have chosen a good location for the main unit. Any
communication between the devices and the main unit should be stronger than this noise level.
To calibrate the noise level from the keypad
1. From within the Installer menu, use the keys to scroll between menus and the
key to select menu options. Open the 2) Testing > 1) Main Unit > 1) Noise Level > 2)
Calibrate.
2. The noise level is displayed. The lower the noise level the better the communication will be.
If the noise level seems very high, try to find a better location for the panel.
8.Zones
To program the zones
The parameters available per zone vary according to the zone type.
1. From within the Installer menu select 1) Programming > 2) Radio Device > 2) Modification >
1) Zones > 2) Parameters.
2. Use the keys select the required zone and press .
