Fully Wireless Siren

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION

1. INTRODUCTION1. INTRODUCTION

The MCS-710 is an indoor or outdoor fully wireless siren,
designed for installation in areas in which wiring action is difficult
or impossible. There is no need for an external power supply. The
MCS-710 is powered by an internal non-chargeable battery.

The siren communicates with the PowerMax+ wireless alarm
control system. W hen an identified activation c ommand is received
from the PowerMax+, the siren activates its sounder, activates its
flash lights and acknowledges its activation to the PowerMax+.

The MCS-710 and the alarm control system should be located in
the same house.

MCS-710 Features

• Designed for indoor or outdoor use
The siren has double plastic cover for extra protection against
rain and sun.

• Distinguishable siren fire and burglar alarms
Fire alarm: Alternating on/off alarm sound.
Burglary alarm: Continuous high/low tone sweep.

Note: The siren is activated for a predefined "Bell Time" (refer to
PowerMax+ installer guide, par. 4.4) according to local authorities
requirements. After this period, the siren sound stops.

• Squawk indications
High, mid or low siren squawk (beep) sounds can be used to
indicate PowerMax+ arming (1 squawk) and disarming (2
squawks) by a keyfob (see PowerMax+ user's guide par. 7.13).

• Flash lights
The siren includes 6 flash lights that are activated as follows:

A. When an identified activation command is received from

the PowerMax+, the siren starts sounding for a
predetermined time (set by the PowerMax+ "4. DEFINE
PANEL", "04: BELL TIME" menu). (The siren sound can
be stopped by PowerMax+ disarming). After the siren
sounding period (if the PowerMax+ is not disarmed) the
siren lights flash once every 1 second (0.1 second ON,

0.9 second OFF) for a period of 20 minutes, or until the
PowerMax+ is disarmed.

B. When the battery voltage is low, the lights flash once every

5 seconds (for low voltage indication).

C. When there is no communication between the siren and the

PowerMax+, the lights flash once every 5 seconds, for
communication failure indication.

• Triple Tamper protection
3 tamper switches are included; one on side cover, second touching

the mounting surface and third attached to the closure screw.

Installation Instructions

• Non-rechargeable 3.6V Lithum battery
When the battery voltage is low, low battery message is sent

to the PowerMax+. After the low voltage message delivery, at
least 2 siren alarms will be possible before the siren will be
totally inactive .

• 2-way full supervision
The siren is fully supervised, 2-way communication device. It

includ es a rec eiver, to rec eive act ivati on comm ands fr om the
alarm system, and a transmitter, to periodically transmit its
status signal to the alarm system.

The transmitted signal strength can be measured during the
installation (refer to PowerMax+ installer guide, paragraph 5.2
– Diagnostic Test).

• Self-test feature
Upon pressing the MCS-710 self test switch for 3 seconds,

the siren functional check is perform ed (low level sounds and
flash lights indicate that that siren is serviceable).
