Paradox RTX3 Wireless 2-Way Transceiver Module – For EVO192, SP7000, SP6000, SP5500 Panels | Advanced Wireless Expansion for Paradox Security Systems

The Paradox RTX3 Wireless 2-Way Transceiver Module is a powerful wireless expansion module that seamlessly integrates with Paradox EVO and Spectra SP series panels, enabling the addition of wireless zones, keypads, sirens, PGMs, and remote controls. This transceiver supports up to 32 wireless zones and is essential for expanding wired systems to accommodate wireless devices without compromising performance or reliability.

Operating at 433MHz or 868MHz, the RTX3 ensures robust signal strength and long-range coverage. It features RF jamming detection, low battery supervision, and two-way signal feedback, providing system integrity and enhanced user awareness. The module includes 3 onboard PGM outputs (including a Form C relay output), and supports in-field firmware upgrades using BabyWare software.

Equipped with a di-pole antenna and easy panel connection, the RTX3 is the ideal solution for sites transitioning from wired to hybrid or fully wireless systems.
