MCT-212

PowerCode Wrist/Pendant Transmitters

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-212 is a miniature, waterproof, UHF transmitter,
designed for use in advanced, high-security alarm and remote
control systems. Transmission is activated by depressing the
recessed pushbutton at the center of the unit. When activated,
the transmitter sends out a 24-bit ID code and an alarm code,
identifiable by compatible wireless receivers of the PowerMax
family. Each transmitter's code is randomly selected in the factory
from 16 million possible combinations. The code is therefore
unique and virtually impossible to reproduce.

Operating power is obtained from an internal 3-volt Lithium
battery.

All MCT-212 are supplied with a wrist band and neck strap. They
can be worn on the wrist or around the neck.

The LED (see Fig. 1) lights during a transmission to indicate a good
battery. If the LED flashes during a transmission, this means that the
battery voltage is low and since the transmitter is hermetically sealed
the transmitter should be replaced by a new transmitter. Anytime the
MCT-212 is pressed when the battery is low, a trouble signal is
automatically sent to the compatible wireless receivers of the
PowerMax family.

The transmitter case is waterproof, hermetically sealed (no screws)
and therefore disposable. Do not attempt to open the transmitter
case or replace the battery; such action will void the warranty.

3.1 Enrolling

For proper function of the transmitter, its ID must be enrolled into
the compatible wireless receiver of the PowerMax family.

"Teach" the target receiver the ID code of the tested transmitter, as
instructed in the target receiver's installation manual.

3.2 Testing

A. Stand 3 m (10 ft) away from a target receiver and operate the

MCT-211 by depressing its transmit pushbutton. Verify that the
transmitter LED lights, indicating good battery condition.

Note: The LED will light for 2 seconds even if you press the
button for a shorter duration.

B. Verify that the received signal at the compatible PowerMax

system is STRONG or GOOD (see compatible PowerMax system
installer guide – DIAGNOSTIC TEST).

C. Operate the transmitter from various locations within the area

covered by the target receiver to determine "dead" locations,
where transmission is blocked by walls and large objects, or
affected by structural materials.

Note: If dead/marginal zones are a problem, relocating the

receiver may improve the performance.

4. PRODUCT LIMITATIONS

Our wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power (required
by FCC, DTI 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 code selected.

D-302054 1

B. A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a

time.

C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly (at least once a

week) to determine if there are sources of interference and to
protect against faults.
