MC-302 PG2

Supervised PowerG Magnetic Contact Device

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-302 PG2 is a fully supervised, PowerG magnetic
contact device. The device includes a built-in reed switch (that
opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it). The MC-302 PG
sends the parameters of the specific alarm to the control panel
using PowerG 2-way communications protocol.

The MC-302 PG 2 tamper switch is activated when the cover is
removed.

A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The
control panel is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s
active participation in the system.

An LED lights whenever alarm or
tamper events are reported. The
LED does not light while a
supervision message is being
transmitted.
Operating power is obtained from
an on-board 3 V Lithium battery.
When the battery voltage is low, a
“low battery” message is sent to
the receiver.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Mounting (Fig. 3a and 3b)

It is highly recommended to attach the transmitter to the top of the
door/window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable
part (door or window). Make sure that the magnet is located not
more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the transmitter’s marked side.

Note: Once the cover is removed, a tamper message is
transmitted to the receiver. Subsequent removal of the battery
prevents transmission of "TAMPER RESTORE", leaving the
receiver in permanent alert. To avoid this, during the enrolling
process, press the tamper switch while you remove the battery.

Attention! The unit has a back tamper switch (optional) under
the PCB. As long as the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the
switch lever will be pressed against a special break-away base
segment that is loosely connected to the base (Figures 2 and 3a).
Be sure to fasten the break-away segment to the wall. If the
detector unit is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will
break away from the base, causing the tamper switch to open.

6. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST

Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 3a).

A. Press the tamper switch once and release it.
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal

(undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the
base with the case closure screw.

C. Momentarily open the door or window and verify the red LED

blinks, indicating detection.

D. After 2 seconds the LED blinks 3 times.

The following table indicates received signal strength
indication.

IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore,
"poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor"
signal from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or
"strong" signal strength is received.

Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to
PowerMaster-10 Installer Guide.

7. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS

Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to
high standards. However, due to low transmitting power and
limited range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities),
there are some limitations to be considered:

A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or

near their operating frequencies, regardless of the digital code
used.

.

B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless devices should be tested regularly to determine

whether there are sources of interference and to protect
against faults.

The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the
unit, not expressly approved by Visonic Ltd., could void the
user’s FCC or other authority to operate the equipment.
