The MCT-220 enables people, for example senior citizens in their
home environment, to transmit an emergency call when they are at
some distance from their communication unit.

of reach, when used with a Visonic Amber family system.

• MCT-220 button pressing period - 2 seconds or 300 milliseconds
(selectable by an internal function selector).

• Supervision signal is regularly transmitted to the communication

unit.

• In low battery voltage state, an alarm message is sent to the
communication unit and the MCT-220 button blinks during
transmission.

• Push button back light can be switched On/Off by an internal
function selector.

• Auxiliary input E.O.L / Normally Close type can be selected by an
