MCT-340 SMA

Wireless Contact Sensor

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-340 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor, for use with iControl H.A. 1.2 control panels. The sensor includes a built-in reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it).

The MCT-340 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed. 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 will be sent to the receiver 30 days before expiration of battery life.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

WIRELESS 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 27-minute intervals. Transmission Range in Open Area: Up to 280 meters (iControl panel)

ELECTRICAL Internal Battery: 3V Lithium battery, type CR2032. Use Varta only. Nominal Battery Capacity: 230 mAh Battery Life Expectancy: 3 years (for typical use).

3. ACTIVATING THE SENSOR

To activate, pull the strip (from either side) that protrudes from the back of the sensor.

Note: Inability to connect with wireless network, or wireless link quality no higher than 20% may significantly reduce the expected battery life.

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL Operating Temperature: 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F). Dimensions: 66 x 25 x 10 mm (2-9/16 x 1 x 6/16 in.) Weight (including battery): 15g (0.5 oz)

4. PAIRING/DEFAULTING THE SENSOR

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

1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch (see Figure 4-4).

2. Insert the battery into the sensor (see Figure 4-4).

5. INSTALLATION

CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Personnel in non-hazardous indoor locations only.

5.1 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 3).

1. Peel away the

release liners from the two strips of doublesided adhesive tape and attach to the device and magnet.

A. Double-sided

adhesive tape

3. Release the tamper switch within 4 seconds (the LED blinks 3 times every 5 seconds).

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

instructions in the control panel’s installation guide).

2. Align the device with the magnet according to the location marks and fasten the device and magnet to the mounting surface. The transmitter should be mounted on the fixed surface and magnet on the moving surface.

FCC Compliance Statement

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures: – Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna. – Increase the distance between the device and the receiver. – Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one that supplies

power to the receiver.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
