Remote Controls for Magellan and Spectra Systems
Overview
Magellan and Spectra systems supports four types of remote controls; the REM1, REM2, REM3 and REM15.
The REM1 and REM15 are the most basic remote controls, with the ability to perform five actions (e.g. arming, disarming, activating a PGM, etc.).
The REM2 is more advanced, as it performs up to six different actions, as well as provides visual and auditory feedback (see table below).
The REM3 is the most advanced remote control, as it has all the functionalities of a keypad (refer to the REM3 User Manual for more information).
A wireless expansion module is necessary in order to use remote controls if you are using a Spectra SP system.
