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.

2.6. Wiring the auxiliary input

Notes:
For UL installations, the device connected to the initiating circuit must be located in the same room as the transmitter.
For UL installations, connect to UL listed residential burglar alarm accessories only.
For ULC installations, connect ULC listed products onlyto the auxiliary wiring input.
An alarm message is transmitted once the loop is opened or short circuited.
To connect thisdevice with another nearby device viaauxiliary input, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the jacket at the end of the cable to expose the wires within.
2. Perforate the silicon gasket, at the back of the device, with a 0.8 mm (1/32 in) pin.
3. Pass each wire through an entry hole and out the opposite side.
4. Remove the insulation from the end of each wire.
5. Connect each wire to the r elevant terminal, referencing"Auxiliary wiring options" below.
6. Screw the ter minal closed using a flat head screwdriver.
Notes:
Use a 22 AWG AUX cable for thisinstallation.
Use a cableshorter than 3 m (10 ft) for the AUX connection.
Seal the auxiliary wiring gasket with RTV Silicone adhesive sealant.
Figure 9- Auxiliary wiring

2.7. Auxiliary wiring options

You can add mor e devicesto the circuitof the MC-312 PG2 for normally closed, normally open or end of line applications. Each application type is explained in the table below:
Normallyclosed (NC) Exclusively use series connected NC sensor contacts if the auxiliary input of the MC-312 PG2 is defined as a normally
closed (NC) type. An EOL resistor is not required.
Normallyopen (NO) Exclusively use parallel connected NO sensor contactsif the auxiliary input of the MC-312 PG2 isdefined as NO type.
An EOL resistor is not required.
End of Line (EOL) For EOL supervision, NC sensor contacts can be used. A 5.6 kΩ EOL resistor may be wired at the far end of the zone
loop.
Note: Figure 10 illustrates a DEOL (Double End of Line) resistor setup, which is available dependent on panel software version.

3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
A local diagnostic test is required to establish the signalstrength of a device in its current position during the installation process. To perform the mandatory test, do as follows:
1. Separate the decorative cover from the device and unscrew the battery cover, as in steps 1 - 3 in "Mounting the MC-312 PG2 on a flat surface" on page1.
2. Pressthe tamper switch once (see Fig. 8) and release it.
3. Open the door or window and verify that detection is indicated by a red LED flash.
4. After two secondsthe LED flashes three times in one of three colors to indicate the signal strength (see Table 3).
Important! Reliable reception must be assured. Ther efore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the detector, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signalstrength is received (in regions requiring UL-compliant installation, only “strong” signal strength is permitted).
Note:
For UL, only strong signal strength isacceptable.
For detailed diagnosticstest instructions, refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
After this step you can r eattach the battery cover.
The LED light if off in normal conditions.
LED response Reception
Green LED flashes Strong
Yellow LED flashes Good
Red LED flashes Poor
No flashes No communication
Table 3 - LED reception response
4. CALIBRATING THE ANTI-MASK
The anti-mask feature enables the detection of attempted sabotage (for example, obstructing the sensor). In order to enable this feature on the MC­312 PG2, complete the following steps of the anti-mask learning process:
Note: Thisfeature isdependent on panel softwar e version.
Pre-requisite: In order to r eceive an alert in the case of interfer ence of the magnet, this function must be set in the control panel to ‘Enable’ in the configuration setup.
Pre-requisite: The anti-mask learning processcan onlybe completed after enrollment (see "Enrolling the MC-312 PG2" on page3).
1. Position the device and magnet pointers to face each other with reference to "Range coverage directions" on page2.
2. Locate the device and magnet on the same height from the surface they are installed on (this r efers to the Z plane in "Range coverage directions" on page2).
Note: During the anti-mask learning process the sensor and the magnet must be stable for 10 seconds.
3. Pressand hold the enroll button for 6-8 secondsto start the anti-mask learning pr ocess.
Note: Do not release the enroll button after 2 seconds, while the yellow LED islit. Release the button after the green LED lights (6 seconds), but before 8 seconds.
In a caseof success, the green LED will flash three times. In a case of failure, the red LED will flash three times.
Note: If the door isopen while the enroll button is pressed, the anti-mask learning process willbe ignored.
5. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
Visonic Ltd. wireless systemsare 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 as follows:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, r egardlessof the digitalcode used. B. Areceiver responds only to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wirelessdevices should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.

7. SPECIAL COMMENTS
Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection, malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the opticalsystem, decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures closeto that of the human body and unexpected failure of a component part.
The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It istherefore recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be checked weekly,to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent enough to continue insuring their lives and property, even though they are protected by an alarm system.
