MC-312 PG2

Outdoor PowerG wireless magnetic contact with auxiliary input

1. INTRODUCTION

The MC- 312 PG2 isa two-way wirelessPowerG magnetic contact device
that is compatible with PowerMaster control panels.

The device has the following features:

l Weatherproof, water-resistant outdoor transceiver
l Functions in extreme temperature (-40 °C to 66 °C / -40 °F to 151

°F) and is IP66 certified.

l Battery life of up to 5 years (with typicaluse)
l Integrated magnetic sensor
l Anti-masking protection, based on panel software version.
l Auxiliary hard-wired input, programmable as either NO, NC, EOL or

DEOL (based on panel version support) for use with additional
devices

l Maximum magnet gap of 44.5 mm (1¾ in) on wood and 31.8 mm

(1¼ in) in on metal.

l Ability to disable the magnetic sensor if the auxiliary input only is

required

l The sensor and the auxiliary input can behave as separate

transmitters, although they trigger the same RF transmitter.

2. INSTALLATION

The equipment is designed to be installed only by qualified service persons.

It isrecommended to place the transmitter above the door or window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable part of the door or window.
Make sure that the magnet is located not more than 44 mm (1.75 in) from the marked side of the transmitter.

It isalso possible to mount the MC-312 PG2 on a curved surface, such as a fence pole or similar, to monitor outdoor areas.

In case of roller shutter assembly, the magnet needs to be assembled25mm – 35mm from the sensor.

Note: Once the battery cover isremoved, a tamper message is tr ansmitted to the panel. Subsequent removal of the battery prevents transmission of
the TAMPER RESTORE alert, leaving the receiver in permanent alert. To avoid this, press the tamper switch when you remove the battery.

Caut ion! Riskof explosion if the battery isreplaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Attent ion ! The unit has an optional back tamper switch behind the device. As long as the device isseated firmly within the bracket, the switchlever will
be pressed against a specialbreak-away bracket segment that islooselyconnected to the bracket. Be sure to fasten the break-away segment to the
wall. If the detector unit is forciblyremoved from the wall, this segment willbreak away from the bracket, causing the tamper switch to open.

2.1. Mounting the MC-312 PG2 on a flat surface

To mount the device on a flat surface, complete the following steps:

1. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into the slot provided and push upward to remove the decorative cover, as in Fig. 2.

2. Unscrew the lower screw from the device cover, as in Fig. 3.

3. Separate the device from the bracket, as in Fig. 4.

4. Mark and drillfour holes in the mounting surface, as in Fig. 5.

5. Screw in the bracket with four screws provided.

6. Reattach the device to the bracket.

7. Mount the magnet base with two supplied screws to an adjacent surface and attach the magnet to the magnet bracket, as in Fig. 5.

Note: Align the device and magnet according to the specifications in "Range coverage directions" on the next page.

Note: Values stated above may vary by up to 10%. F or steel installations, the gaps cannot be lessthan

3.2 mm.

Note: In case of roller shutter assembly, the magnet needs to be mounted 25 mm - 35 mm (on the X
plane) from the device. F or all other installations, a minimum gap of 5 mm is needed.

Tip: When mounting on a slide door, refer to X. When mounting on a roller shutter, refer to Y. When
mounting on a normal door, refer to Z.
