MCT-320 SMA

Wireless Contact Sensor

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-320 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor, for use with iControl control panels. The sensor includes a built-in reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it). The MCT-320 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed or when the detector is removed from the wall.

A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The target receiver is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s active participation in the system.

Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a “low battery” message is sent to the receiver.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

WIRELESS

Frequency: Frequency: 2.4 GHz as per IEEE 802.15.4 Tamper Alert: Reported when a tamper event occurs and in any

subsequent message, until the tamper switch is restored.

Supervision Message: Signaling at 24-minute intervals.

ELECTRICAL

Internal Battery: 3V Lithium battery, type CR2. Use Panasonic, GP or

Sanyo only.

Battery Life Expectancy: 3-5 years (for typical use). Battery Power Test: Performed immediately upon battery insertion and periodically every several hours.

Battery Supervision: Automatic transmission of battery condition data as

part of any status report.

3. PAIRING/DEFAULTING THE SENSOR

To pair the sensor to the control panel, you must set it to pairing mode.

1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch.

2. Insert the battery into the sensor.

3. Release the tamper switch and press it again within 4 seconds.

4. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel (see the pairing

4. MOUNTING

NOTE: It is highly recommended to attach the transmitter to the top of the door/window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable part (door or window). Make sure that the magnet is located not more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the transmitter’s marked side. The transmitter should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on the moving surface (see Figure 1).
