CLIP SMA

Wireless Curtain-Type Infrared Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

The CLIP SMA is the smallest and most elegant wireless curtain­pattern PIR detector for indoor use and designed for easy
installation. Its function is based on new and sophisticated,
patented FM data acquisition and digital signal processing.

Modern technology is used to include 3 different detectors in a
single case, each programmable for optimized performance at
the specific mounting location. This results in better catch
performance and virtually no false alarms.

The superiority in performance of this detector is achieved by
applying an improved version of the patented True Motion
Recognition™ (TMR) algorithm. This advanced motion analysis
method allows the CLIP SMA to distinguish between the true
motion of the human body and any other disturbances that cause
false alarms.

Installation Instructions

After detection, the detector disarms itself to save battery power.
It rearms (reverts to the ready state) if there is no subsequent
detection throughout the following 2-minute period.

The CLIP SMA includes the following features:

 Very low current consumption
 Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation
 Sealed chamber protects the optical system
 Front cover tamper switch
 White light protection
 Elegantly styled, sturdy case

Detailed coverage patterns and mounting alternatives are

3.6 Pairing/Defaulting the Detector

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

A. Press and hold down the detector’s tamper switch.
B. Insert the battery into the detector. Wait for the RF

module’s green LED to light.

C. Release the tamper switch and press it again within 4

seconds. When the detector is in pairing mode, the
green LED starts to blink.

D. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel

(see the pairing instructions in the control panel’s
installation guide).

3.7 Walk Testing

A. Mount the cover and tighten the screw. Wait for the detector

to stabilize (the LED stops flashing approx. two minutes after
the cover is closed).

B. Walk slowly across the far end of the curtain pattern (in

opposite directions). The LED indicator lights for approx. 3
seconds whenever you enter or exit a curtain beam.

Important: Perform walk test at least once a week to assure
proper function of the detector.

Note: After closing the cover the detector enters a 15 minute
walk-test mode. In this mode the LED will flash each time a
detection occurs, regardless of LED jumper settings, and the
detector will transmit on the occurrence of each detection event.

3.5 Activating the Detector

To activate, pull the strip that protrudes from the battery
compartment.

Figure 16. Activation Strip

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter one of the following problems with the CLIP
SMA, perform the suggested remedy:

Problem Remed

Attempt to pair the sensor is
unsuccessful.

The sensor and the panel do
not communicate.

The sensor sends a Low
Battery indication.

Make sure that the sensor has
been defaulted and is set to
pairing mode (see section 3.6).

Perform the signal strength
testing procedure described in
the control panel installation
manual. Make sure that the
signal is sufficient. If
necessary, replace the
sensor’s battery.

To ensure continuous proper
operation, replace the battery
within two weeks of the first
Low Battery indication.

Problem Remed

5. SPECIAL COMMENTS

5.1 Product Limitations

Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to
high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and
limited range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities),
there are some limitations to be considered:

A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their

operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.

B. A receiver can only respond to one signal at a time.
C. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine

whether there are sources of interference and to protect
against faults.

5.2 Compliance with Standards

FCC

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of
Industry and Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this
device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas
produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible
d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.

D. Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be

defeated or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure /
improper connection, malicious masking of the lens,
tampering with the optical system, decreased sensitivity in
ambient temperatures near that of the human body and
unexpected failure of a component part.

The above list includes the most common reasons for failure
to detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is
therefore recommended that the detector and the entire alarm
system be checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.

E. An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for

insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be
prudent enough to continue insuring their lives and property,
even though they are protected by an alarm system.

The digital circuit of this device has been submitted for testing in
order 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

MCT-302 SMA

Magnetic Contact Wireless Sensor

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-302 SMA is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor. The sensor
includes a built-in reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it) and
an auxiliary hard-wired input, programmable as either N.C. or E.O.L., for use with
additional sensors - pushbuttons, detectors, door contacts etc.
An on-board DIP switch allows the installer to disable the magnet- operated reed
switch if only the auxiliary input is needed.

The reed switch and the auxiliary input behave as separate transmitters, although they
trigger the same RF transmitter. Each input has a unique ID.
The MCT-302 SMA 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.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

Frequency: 2.4 Ghz as per IEEE 802.15.4
Alarm Inputs: 2, one internal and one external, with a separate sensor ID each.
Auxiliary Input Circuit Type: N.C. / E.O.L., selected with DIP switch
E.O.L. Resistor Required: 47 k
Message Repetition: Repetitive transmission (once every 3 minutes) or one-shot, as

selected with on-board DIP switch.

Supervision: Signaling at 24-min. intervals.
Response to Tamper Event: Tamper report every 3 minutes (until the tamper switch

is restored).
Power Source: 3 V Lithium CR-2 type battery, Panasonic, Sanyo or GP only.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 Mounting (Fig. 2)

It is highly recommended to attach the sensor 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 sensor’s marked side.
Note: Once the cover is removed, a tamper message is transmitted to the receiver.
Subsequent removal of the battery prevents transmission of "TAMPER RESTORE",
leaving the receiver in permanent alert. To avoid this, during the enrolling process,
press the tamper switch while you remove the battery.

3.2 Auxiliary Input Wiring (Fig. 3)

Remember! If your application does not require the auxiliary input, be sure to set
DIP switch SW2 to OFF and to short the input terminals together with a piece of
jumper wire.

A. Connect the auxiliary sensor contacts across the MCT-302 SMA auxiliary input

terminals.

B. If the auxiliary input of the MCT-302 SMA is defined as a Normally Closed (N.C.)

type (SW2 set to OFF), series connected N.C. sensor contacts must be used
exclusively. An E.O.L. resistor will not be required.

C. For E.O.L. supervision, set SW2 to ON.

Normally Closed (N.C.) as well as Normally Open (N.O.) sensor contacts can be
used, as show in figure 3. A 47k E.O.L. resistor must be wired at the far end of
the zone loop.

Note: For UL installations, the device connected to the initiating circuit must be
located in the same room as the sensor.

6. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS

FCC

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.

4.4 Testing the Unit

Before testing, set DIP switches SW1 through SW4 as required for the particular
application (Para. 4.1).
A. Insert the battery between the battery clips, at the correct polarity. For proper

operation, only Lithium battery (Panasonic, Sanyo, or GP type CR2) should be
used.

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose used
battery according to manufacturer's instructions.

B. Press the tamper switch once and release it.

Note: Since the cover is removed and power is applied, a tamper situation exists.
Verify that the MCT-302 SMA transmits (the LED lights briefly) once every 3
minutes.

C. When you are satisfied that tamper signals are transmitted properly, put the cover

on to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position. Wait slightly
over 3 minutes to verify that tamper transmissions cease. If operation is normal,
secure the front cover to the base with the case closure screw.

D. Momentarily open the door or window and verify that the sensor LED lights,

indicating that transmission is in progress.
If SW4 is ON, wait 3 minutes to verify that the transmission is repeated at 3­minute intervals.

E. Close the door or window, thus restoring it to the undisturbed state and watch the

LED. If SW3 is set to ON, a “restore” transmission will now take place.

F. If the auxiliary input is used, momentarily activate the detector connected to it and

check for a response similar to that described in D above. Then restore the input
loop to its undisturbed state. The response should be as in E above.

Note Regarding Tamper Message Transmission:

- If the reed switch input is enabled (SW1 is ON), the tamper message will be sent
with the reed switch’s ID.

- If the reed switch input is disabled (SW1 is OFF), the tamper message will be
sent with the auxiliary input’s ID.

Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards.
However, due to low transmitting power and limited range (required by FCC 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 digital code used.

B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless devices should be tested regularly to determine whether there are

sources of interference and to protect against faults.

MCT-427 SMA

Supervised Wireless Smoke / Heat Detector

1. DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS

MCT-427 SMA (heat and smoke detector) are automatic fire detectors
with integral audible signal for open area protection, designed to
sense heat or smoke (not flame) and fitted with an iControl compliant
wireless transceiver.
MCT-427 SMA provides early warning of developing fire by sounding
an alarm with its built-in alarm horn, and by transmitting a coded
alarm signal to an iControl compliant control panel.
MCT-427 SMA will activate a fire alarm upon either smoke or heat
(temperature rate-of-rise) condition. With two fire sensors (heat and
smoke), the MCT-427 SMA detector may shorten the time to fire
alarm activation.
It must be borne in mind, though that effective prewarning of fire
accidents is only possible if the detector is located, installed and
maintained as described here.
In alarm condition, the buzzer sound can be stopped for 12 minutes by
pressing the TEST/MUTE switch. It will not restore the alarm condition,
but will temporarily silence the buzzer while you correct the condition.
After 12 minutes, the detector restarts the alarm buzzer sound.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

4.1 Where to Install Smoke Detectors

Smoke detectors should be installed in accordance with the NFPA
Standard 74 (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch
Park, Quincy, MA 02169). For complete coverage in residential units,
smoke detectors should be installed in all rooms, halls, storage
areas, basements and attics in each family living unit. Minimum
coverage is one detector on each floor and one in each sleeping area
and attics in each family living unit. For maximum protection, a
smoke detector should be located outside primary sleeping areas or
on each level of your home. Here are a few useful tips for you:

 Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate

bedroom area, as in Figure 5. Two detectors are required in homes
with two bedroom areas, as in Figure 6.

 Install a smoke detector on every floor of a multi-floor home or

apartment, as shown in Figure 7.

 Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
 Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
 Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the

hallway is more than 12 meters (40 feet) long.

Figure 5. Locations for Placing Smoke Detectors in a Single

Residence with only One Sleeping Area

 Install a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with

the door partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked
by the closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the
sleeper if the door is closed.

 Install basement detectors at the bottom of the basement stairwell.
 Install second-floor detectors at the top of the first-to-second floor

stairwell.

 Be sure no door or other obstruction blocks the path of smoke to

the detector.

 Install additional detectors in your living room, dining room, family

room, attic, utility and storage rooms.

 Install smoke detectors as close to the center of the ceiling as

possible. If this is not practical, put the detector on the ceiling, at
least 10 cm (4 inches) away from any wall or corner, as shown in
Figure 8.

 If ceiling mounting is not possible and wall mounting is permitted by

your local and state codes, locate the detectors between 10 - 15
cm (4 - 6 inches) from the ceiling, also see Figure 8.

 If some of your rooms have sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, try

to mount detectors 0.9 meter (3 feet) measured horizontally from
the highest point of the ceiling as shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Recommended

Figure 8. Recommended Best

and Acceptable Locations to

Mount Smoke Detectors

CAUTION (As required by the California State Fire
Marshall)

"Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the
installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and
areas of the household as follows:

(1) A smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping area (in the
vicinity, but outside the bedrooms), and (2) Heat or smoke detectors
in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways,
attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements
and attached garages."

4.2 Where Not to Install Smoke Detectors

False alarms occur when smoke detectors are installed where they
will not work properly. To avoid false alarms, do not install smoke
detectors in the following situations:

 Combustion particles are by-products of something burning. Do not

install smoke detectors in or near areas where combustion particles

Figure 6. Locations for Placing Smoke Detectors in Single-Floor

Residence with More than One Sleeping Area.

Figure 7. Placing Smoke Detectors in a Multi-Floor Residence

D-303364 MCT-427 SMA Installation Guide 3

are present, such as kitchens with few windows or poor ventilation,
garages where there may be vehicle exhaust, near furnaces, hot
water heaters and space heaters.

 Do not install smoke detectors less than 6 meters (20 feet) away

from places where combustion particles are normally present, like
kitchens. If a 20-foot distance is not possible, try to install the
detector as far away from the combustion particles as possible,
preferably on the wall. To prevent false alarms, provide good
ventilation in such places.

IMPORTANT: Never try to avoid false alarms by disabling the
detector.

 Do not mount smoke detectors in the path of fresh air intake. The

flow of fresh air in and out can drive smoke away from the smoke
detector; thus reducing its efficiency. Figure 10 indicates the correct
and incorrect locations concerning this problem.

 Near pain thinner fumes.
 In close proximity to an automobile exhaust pipe; this will damage

the detector.

 In damp or very humid areas or near bathrooms with showers.

Moisture in humid air can enter the sensing chamber, then turns
into droplets upon cooling, which can cause false alarms. Install
smoke detectors at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from bathrooms.

 In very cold or very hot areas, including unheated buildings or

outdoor rooms. If the temperature goes above or below the
operating range of smoke detector, it will not work properly. Verify
that the temperature range of the detector falls within the Operating
Temperature, (see chapter 2. Specifications).

 In very dusty or dirty areas, dirt and dust can build up on the

detector's sensing chamber, to make it overly sensitive.

 Additionally, dust or dirt can block openings to the sensing

chamber and keep the detector from sensing smoke.

 Near fresh air vents or very drafty areas like air conditioners,

heaters or fans. Fresh air vents and drafts can drive smoke away
from smoke detectors.

 Dead air spaces are often at the top of a peaked roof, or in the

corners between ceilings and walls. Dead air may prevent smoke
from reaching a detector. See Figures 8 and 9 for recommended
mounting locations.

 In insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector's sensing

chamber, they may cause a false alarm. Where bugs are a
problem, get rid of them before putting up a detector.

 Near fluorescent lights, electrical "noise" from fluorescent lights

may cause false alarms. Install smoke detectors at least 1.5 meters
(5 feet) from such lights.

 Smoke detection depends on the smoke density present in a

room. Smoke density is greater in small rooms, for the same
amount of smoke, than in large rooms.

In small rooms less than 25 cubic meters (883 cubic ft.) in size,
a small amount of smoke may activate a smoke alert. For
example, smoking or bathroom steam may activate a smoke
alert.

Figure 10. Recommended Smoke Detector Locations to Avoid Air

WARNING: Never remove batteries to stop a false alarm. Open a

window or fan the air around the detector to get rid of the smoke. The
alarm will turn itself off when the smoke is gone. If false alarms persist,
attempt to clean the detector as described in this manual.

WARNING: Do not stand close to the detector when the alarm is
sounding. The alarm is loud in order to wake you in an emergency.
Too much exposure to the horn at close range may be harmful to your
hearing.

Streams with Combustion Particles

4.3 Smoke Detector Limitations

A. This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit

or offices, which means that it should be used inside a single
family home or apartment or office.

B. Please refer to NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA72 for smoke

detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as
"households".

C. The smoke detector will not sense a fire if the smoke does not

reach the sensor. In order for a smoke detector to sense smoke, it

must be installed in the immediate vicinity of the fire.
In addition, smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs, in remote

parts of the building, or on another level from where the smoke detector
is located, may not reach the smoke detector quickly enough for
occupants to escape unharmed. For this reason, installer shall install

smoke detectors on every level, in every sleeping area and in every
bedroom of the household.

D. Smoke detector may not be heard. The alarm horn in this smoke

detector meets or exceeds current Underwriter’s Laboratories
standards. However, if the smoke detector is not located in the same
room as the occupant or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal
noise, the alarm horn may not be heard. In addition, sound sleepers,
or persons who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol may not
hear the alarm or be able to react to it. Therefore, locate this

smoke detector, which has a sounder rated at 85 dB at 10 feet,
on every level, in every sleeping area and in every bedroom of
the household.

E. This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert people

who are hard of hearing.

F. In general, detectors may not always warn you about fires

caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed,
violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with
matches or arson.

G Smoke detectors are not fool-proof. Like all electronic devices,

smoke detectors have limitations. No type of smoke detector
can sense every kind of fire every time. In addition, smoke
from slow, smoldering fires rises slowly and may not reach
the smoke detector until actual flame breaks out. This type of
smoke may not reach the smoke detector in time for
occupants to escape unharmed.

H. Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or property

insurance. Though smoke detectors have been responsible for

saving many lives, they are not warranted or implied to protect
lives or property in the event of fire.

I. These wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high

standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and
limited range (required by the regulatory authorities), there are
some limitations to be considered:

i) Receivers may be blocked by radio signals on or near their

operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
ii) A receiver can only respond to one transmitted signal at a time.
iii) Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine

whether there are sources of interference and to protect

against faults

.

5. TAKING CARE OF THE MCT-427 SMA

5.1 Battery Replacement

The MCT-427 SMA was designed to be as maintenance-free as
possible. To keep the smoke detector in good working order, you must
test it weekly, as instructed in Para. 6.1 below.

Make it a rule to replace the detector’s battery (lithium) once every
8 years even if there is no indication that the battery is weak. Also

be sure to replace it immediately upon reception of a low battery
message via your control panel.

If you disregard this message, an audible reminder in the form of

4 D-303364 MCT-427 SMA Installation Guide

once-per-minute "beep" will sound after a few days. The low­battery "beep" should last at least 30 days before the battery dies
out completely.

NOTE: For best performance, use only lithium batteries as
replacement batteries (see specifications). Carbon zinc batteries are
not acceptable.
Caution! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Replace the battery as follows:

A. Separate the detector from its bracket (see figure 2).

B. Replace battery (see Figure 3a or Figure 3b according to the

battery used).

5.2 Maintenance

It is necessary to maintain the detector frequently to ensure it working
properly. Follow these tips for taking care of your detector:

 Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents occasionally to keep

them free of dust. When a "Clean Warning" transmission is
received, the detector should be cleaned. When a trouble event is
received, the detector should be removed (see Table 1 for visual

6. ADDITIONAL ADVICE

and audible indications).

 Perform detector functional test (see par. 3.6) weekly.
 A clean (maintenance) signal is transmitted when the detector's

chamber sensitivity becomes degraded.

Note: This transmission applies to the PowerMax+ control panel
only.

Note: If false alarms keep occurring, check whether the detector's
location is adequate (see Para. 4.1 and 4.2). Relocate the unit if it is
not located properly. Clean as described above.

6.1 Routine Testing

The detector should be tested weekly and also whenever you suspect
that it does not go into alarm. Push the test button firmly with your finger
until the horn sounds (it may take up to 20 seconds, for further details
see par. 3.6). Also verify that the control panel responds to the
transmitted fire alarm. If the detector fails, have it repaired or replaced
immediately, to ensure that it works properly.

Every 3 months the smoke detector must be checked by using smoke
detectors test sprayer.

WARNING: Never use an open flame of any kind to test your
detector. You may set fire to damage the detector as well as your
home. The built-in test switch accurately tests all detector
functions, as required by Underwriters' Laboratories. This is the
only correct way to test the unit.

NOTE: If the alarm horn produces a loud continuous sound and the
red LED flashes when you are not testing the unit, this means the
detector has sensed smoke or combustion particles in the air. Verify
that the alarm is a result of a possible serious situation, which
requires your immediate attention.

 The alarm could be caused by a false situation. Cooking smoke or

a dusty furnace, sometimes called "friendly fires" can cause the
alarm to sound. If this happens, open a window or fan the air away
to remove the smoke or dust. The alarm will turn off as soon as the
air is completely clear.

CAUTION: Do not disconnect the battery from the detector. This

will remove your protection from fires.

 If there is any question as to the cause of an alarm, it should

be assumed that the alarm is due to an actual fire and the
residence should be evacuated immediately.

 If the alarm horn begins to beep once every 30 sec (for further

details, see par. 3.2), this signal means that the detector's battery is
weak. Install a new battery immediately. Keep fresh batteries on
hand for this purpose.

6.2 Tips to Enhance Your Protection
From Fires

Putting up smoke detectors is only one step in protecting your family
from fires. You must also reduce the chances of fires starting in your
home. You must also increase your chances of escaping safely if one
does start. To have a good fire safety program you must apply the
following tips to enhance your family's protection from fires:

A. Install smoke detectors properly. Carefully follow all the

instructions in this manual. Keep your smoke detectors clean
and test them every week.

B. Remember that detectors that do not work will not alert you.

Replace your smoke detectors immediately if they are not
working properly.

C. Follow fire safety rules, and prevent hazardous situations:

 Use smoking materials properly. Never smoke in bed.

 Keep matches and cigarette lighters away from children.
 Store flammable materials in proper containers. Never use them

near open flame or sparks.

 Keep electrical appliances in good condition. Do not overload

electrical circuits.

 Keep stoves, fireplaces, chimneys, and barbecue grills grease

free. Make sure they are properly installed and away from any
combustible materials.

 Keep portable heaters and open flames such as candles away

from combustible materials.

 Do not allow rubbish to accumulate.
 Keep a supply of extra batteries on hand for your battery

powered smoke detectors.

D. Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire

family. Be sure to include small children in your practice.

 Draw a floor plan of your home, and find two ways to exit from

each room. There should be one way to get out of each
bedroom without opening the door.

 Explain to children what the smoke detector alarm signal means.

Teach them that they must be prepared to leave the home by
themselves if necessary. Show them how to check to see if doors
are hot before opening them. Show them how to stay close to the
floor and crawl if necessary. Show them how to use the alternate
exit if the door is hot and should not be opened.

 Decide on a meeting place which has a safe distance from your

house. Make sure that all your children understand that they
should go and wait for you there if there is a fire.

 Hold fire drills at least every 6 months, making sure that everyone,

even small children, knows what to do to escape safely.

 Know where to go to call the Fire Department outside your home.
 Provide emergency equipment, such as fire extinguishers, and

teach your family to use this equipment properly.

6.3 More Tips on How to Face a Fire at
Home

If you have made an escape plan and practiced it with your family,
their chances of escaping safely are increased. Go over the following
rules with your children when you have fire drills. This will help
everyone remember the rules in a real emergency.

A. Don't panic and stay calm. Your safe escape may depend on

thinking clearly and remembering what you have practiced.

B. Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Follow a planned escape

route. Do not stop to collect anything or to get dressed.

C. Feel the doors to see if they are hot. If they are not, open them

carefully. Do not open a door if it is hot. Use an alternate escape
route.

D. Stay close to the floor. Smoke and hot gases rise.
E. Cover your nose and mouth with a wet or damp cloth. Take short,

shallow breaths.

F. Keep doors and windows closed. Open them only if you have to in

order to escape.

G. Meet at your planned meeting place after leaving the house.
H. Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside your

house. Give the address and your name.

I. Never go back inside a burning building. Contact your local Fire

Department. They will give you more ideas about how to make your
home safer from fires and how to plan your family's escape.

Supervised Indoor Wireless CO Gas Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

The carbon monoxide (CO) detector is designed to monitor the
CO gas level in residential dwellings and give early warning
before potentially dangerous levels exist. The CO alarm is
transmitted to the iControl control panel.
The CO gas is considered to be a highly dangerous poisonous
gas because it is colorless, odorless, tasteless and very toxic.
Presence of CO gas inhibits the blood's capacity to transport
oxygen throughout the body, which can eventually lead to brain
damage. CO gas is produced by incomplete combustion of fuels
(such as natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal,
charcoal, gasoline or wood) that can occur in any device that
depends on burning for energy and heat (such as furnaces,
boilers, room heaters, hot water heaters, stoves, grills and in any
gasoline powered vehicle or engine).
Before CO harmful level is reached, the detector's internal buzzer
beeps sound periodically and the detector's red LED flashes. In
this condition, the buzzer sound can be stopped for 6 minutes by
pressing the TEST/MUTE switch. It will not correct the CO gas
problem, but will temporarily silence the buzzer while you correct
the problem. After 6 minutes, the detector restarts alarm if the CO
level remains high.

The detector provides
low battery and detector
end-of-life indications.

Caution: The detector
expiry date is stamped
on the detector. After
the expiry date, the
detector should not be
used - do not wait for
end-of-life indication!!

The detector is continuously self-tested and has a TEST button
that enables the user to test the detector anytime.

Note: The TEST/MUTE switch functions as TEST switch (in
normal operation) or as MUTE switch (in alarm condition).

The tamper switch actuator (fig. 3), is pressed against the bracket
when the unit is attached to the bracket. Removal of the unit from
the bracket causes the switch contacts to open, creating a tamper
event, which is reported by the transmitter to the alarm system
control panel.

level of your system.

Appendix A - CO Detector Installation Overview
A-1. Selecting Installation Location

Selecting a suitable location is critical for the CO detector. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends to
use at least one CO detector per household, located near as
possible to sleeping area of the home, because the human body
is most vulnerable to the CO gas effect during sleeping hours.
For added protection, install additional CO detector in every separate
bedroom and on every level of your home. If your bedroom hallway is
longer than 14 meters (40 feet), install a CO detector at BOTH ends
of the hallway. Install an additional detector 6 meters (20 feet) away
from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

For maximum
protection, the
detector should
be also located
outside primary
sleeping areas or
at each level of
your home. Mount
the detector on a
firm wall or ceiling
(see par. 4.1).

Appendix B - CO Gas Health Effects
B-1. Toxic Effects

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless non-irritating gas
which is classified as a chemical asphyxiate whose toxic action is a
direct result of the hypoxia produced by a given exposure.
CO is rapidly absorbed through the lungs, diffuses across the alveolar
capillary membrane and is reversible bound with hemoglobin as
carboxyheoglobin (COHb), however a minute amount is present in
the plasma. The affinity of hemoglobin for CO is over 200 times its
affinity for oxygen. This reduces the oxygen carrying of the blood and
also has an effect on dissociation of oxyhemoglobin which farther
reduces the oxygen supply to the tissues. CO is chemically
unchanged in the body and is eliminated in the expired air. The
elimination is determined by the same factors that applied during
absorption.
If the Co level in the inhaled air is constant, the level of COHb in the
blood will approach an equilibrium state after several hours. However,
the rate at which the equilibrium is reached depends on many factors,
e.g. lung ventilation rate (physical activity) and alveolar capillary
transfer, cardiac parameters, blood hemoglobin concentration,
barometric pressure, oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration in the
inhaled air, but the two most important factors in determining the
COHb level are the CO concentration and the duration of exposure.

The effects of different saturation blood COHb levels on healthy
adults are shown in table A1.

Table 1 - Health effects of COHb blood levels on healthy adults

% COHb Effects

03 - 0.7 Normal range in non-smokers due to endogenous

production

0.7 - 2.9 No proven physiological changes

2.9 - 4.5 Cardio-vascular changes in cardiac patients
4 - 6 Usual values observed in smokers, impairment in

psychomotor tests

7 - 10 Cardio-vascular changes in non-cardiac patients

(increased cardiac output and coronary blood flow)
10 - 20 Slight headache, weakness, potential burden on fetus
20 - 30 Severe headache, nausea, impairment in limb

movements
30 - 40 Severe headache. irritability, confusion, impairment in

visual acuity, nausea, muscular weakness, dizziness

40 -50 Convulsions and unconsciousness

60 - 70 Coma, collapse, death

Source: US Environmental Protection Agency 1984

The following symptoms are related to CO poisoning and are to be
discussed with ALL members of the household:

1. Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as "Flu-like" symptoms).

2. Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast
heart rate.

3. Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio
respiratory failure, death.

4. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims
are aware they are not well, they become so disordered they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling
for assistance. Young children and household pets are typically
first affected.

B-2. Chronic Effects on High Risk Group

Individuals with coronary artery disease exposed to low levels of CO
showed reduced ability to exercise. The time of onset of exercise-induced
angina pectoris in such patients exposed to low levels of CO is reduced.
Carbon monoxide readily crosses the placental barrier and may endanger
the normal development of the fetus.
A number of high risk groups are particularly sensitive to the effects of
CO because of various organ impairments or specific changes,
mainly:
a. Those whose oxygen carrying capacity is decreased due to anemia

or other hemoglobin disorders.

b. Those with increased oxygen needs such as those encountered in

fever, hyperthyroidism or pregnancy.
c. Those with systematic hypoxia due to respiratory insufficiency.
d. Those with hearth disease and any vascular insufficiency, such as

cerebral ischaemia and peripheral vascular diseases.

B-3. Normal COHb levels

Under normal conditions all humans have low levels of COHb of
between 0.3% and 0.7% present within the body. These levels are
considered neither beneficial nor harmful.

B-4. Tobacco Smoking

Tobacco smokers are exposed to significant concentration of CO. In
cigarette smokers the COHb concentration varies between 5% - 9%
while heavy smokers it may exceed 10%.

Appendix C - Action to Take When Alarm Sounds

In case of harmful levels of CO gas is detected, your detector will go
into continuous full alarm, Try to take the following necessary actions
immediately:

1. Push the detector TEST switch to silence the alarm.

!

Warning: Never remove the battery to silence the alarm.

Removing the battery removes your protection!

2. Call your emergency service (tel. No. .............), or fire department

(tel. No. ............). (Please write the telephone numbers).

3.

Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by opening

door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from
the open door/window until the emergency services responders
have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm
remains in normal condition.

4. After following steps 1 - 3, if your alarm reactivates within 24 hours
period, repeat steps 1 - 3 and call qualified technician (Tel. No.

........) to investigate for sources of CO gas from fuel burning

equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this
equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have

4 D-303363 MCT-442 SMA Installation Guide

the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion
equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturer instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly,
for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make
sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in
an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

!

Warning: Normally an activation of the detector indicates the
presence of CO gas. However, the CO gas can be extremely fatal, if it
is not detected. The source of the CO gas may come from several
possible situations.

Caution: This detector will only indicate the presence of CO gas at
the sensor. However, you have to be aware that the CO gas may be
present in other areas in the premises.

Action to be taken after the problem has been corrected

Once the problem about the CO gas presence in the premises has
been corrected, the detector's alarm should be off. After waiting for 10
minutes, push the Test button, to verify that the detector is properly
working again.

Appendix D - Warnings and Limitations

Y

This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living
units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.

Caution: The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30 ppm.
The alarm, including the sensor, is not to be located within 1.5m (5 feet) of
any cooking appliance.
The detector may not alarm at low carbon monoxide levels. The
Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) has established that
continuous exposure levels of 50 ppm should not be exceeded in an 8
hours period. Individuals with medical problem may consider more
sensitive detection devices.
The CO gas detector is not suitable as a smoke detector or fire detector.
This detector is not suitable to install in an hazardous location as defined
in National Electrical Code.
Carbon monoxide must reach the detector for proper performance of CO
gas detection. The detector may not protect people who are at special risk
from carbon monoxide exposure by reason of age, pregnancy or medical
condition. In doubt, consult your medical practitioner.
CO detectors may wear out because they contain electronic parts that fail
at any time. Test your detector at least every week.
Instruct children never to play with the detector.

Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the detector.
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the
detector.
Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the detectors vents and interfere
detecting CO gas.
Detailed information on conditions which can result in transient CO
situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances

caused by:
a. Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity,

including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid
air with extended periods between cycles).

b. Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust

fans.

c. Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances

competing for limited internal air.

d. Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces,

or water heaters.

e. Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify

the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,

fireplace, etc.).

3. Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

Appendix E - Trouble-shooting

Every 60 seconds, the yellow LED flashes once and 1
beep is heard.
When TEST/MUTE button is pressed, the green LED
flashes instead of lighting during 2 seconds.
Every 60 seconds, there are 3 flashes of the yellow

MCT-550 SMA

Supervised Wireless Flood Detector

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-550 SMA is a fully supervised indoor wireless flood
detector, used to detect the presence of water based fluids at
any desired location.

The MCT-550 SMA transmitter is designed for wall mounting.
The flood sensor is placed in a location where the presence of
water based fluids, as a result of leakage or flooding, is probable.

Upon

flood detection, a digital message is transmitted, composed of

the detectors’ ID followed by various status and other messages.
Alarm and other data are thus forwarded to the alarm system.

An on-board tamper switch is opened when the cover is
removed. In a tamper situation, a tamper message is
transmitted.

A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically (see
specifications) to inform the alarm system at regular intervals, of
the unit’s active participation in the system.

2. SPECIFICATIONS

Frequency: 2.4 Ghz as per IEEE 802.15.4
Message Repetition: One-shot transmission (default) or once

every 3 minutes (selectable).
Supervision: Signaling at 24-minute intervals.
Response to Tamper Event: Tamper report every 3 minutes

(until the tamper switch is restored).
Power Source: 3V Lithium battery, Panasonic/GP/Sanyo type CR2

or equivalent.

Note: Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's
instructions.

Nominal Battery Capacity: 750 mAh
Current Drain: 6µA STBY, Maximum 100mA during transmission
Battery Life with LED on: 3 years (for typical use)

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

Installation Instructions

An LED lights whenever alarm or tamper events are reported. The
LED does not light while a supervision message is being
transmitted.

Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery.
A weak battery will cause a “low battery” report to be added to any
message transmitted.

4.3 Pairing/Defaulting the Detector

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

A. Press and hold down the detector’s tamper switch.
B. Insert the battery into the detector. Wait for the RF

module’s green LED to light.

C. Release the tamper switch and press it again within 4

seconds. When the detector is in pairing mode, the
green LED starts to blink.

D. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel

(see the pairing instructions in the control panel’s
installation guide).

4.4 Testing the Unit

Before testing, set DIP switches SW3 and SW4 as required for
the particular application (see Para. 4.1).

A. Insert the battery between the battery clips, at the correct

polarity. For proper operation, only Lithium battery

(Panasonic type CR-2 or equivalent) should be used.

B. Press the tamper switch once and release it.

Note: Since the cover is removed and power is applied, a

tamper situation exists. Verify that the MCT-550 SMA

transmits (the LED lights briefly) once every 3 minutes,

regardless of SW4 setting.

C. When you are satisfied that tamper alerts are transmitted

properly, put the cover on to return the tamper switch to its

normal (undisturbed) position. Wait slightly over 3 minutes to

verify that tamper transmissions cease. If all went well, secure

the front cover to the base with the case closure screw.

D. Clean the flood sensor thoroughly with a rag. Bring the flood

sensor into contact with water and verify that the transmitter

LED lights, indicating that transmission is in progress. If SW4

is ON, wait 3 minutes to verify that the transmission is

repeated at 3-minute intervals.

E. Dry the flood sensor using either blotting paper or a rag, thus

restoring it to the undisturbed state and observe the LED. If

SW3 is set to ON, a “restore” transmission will now take place.

F. Refer to the target receiver’s installation instructions, and let

the receiver “learn” the ID code associated with the detector.

4.5 Maintenance

To ensure proper detector's operation, clean the flood sensor
thoroughly with a rag once a month and perform test.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-550
SMA, perform the suggested remedy:

Problem Remed

Attempt to pair the detector is
unsuccessful.

The detector and the panel do
not communicate.

The detector sends a Low
Battery indication.

Make sure that the detector
has been defaulted and is set
to pairing mode (see section

4.3).
Perform the signal strength

testing procedure described in
the control panel installation
manual. Make sure that the
signal is sufficient. If
necessary, replace the
detector’s battery.

To ensure continuous proper
operation, replace the battery
within two weeks of the first
Low Battery indication.

Panel does not arm because of
an unrecognized detector
malfunction

Problem Remed

Consult with your installer or
system provider before you
disable a zone.

Disable the detector zone (see
the control panel user manual).
Note that disabling a sensor
zone lowers the overall security
level of your system.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter one of the following problems with the NEXT
PLUS K9-85 SMA, perform the suggested remedy:

Problem Remed

Attempt to pair the sensor is
unsuccessful.

The sensor and the panel do
not communicate.

5. SPECIAL COMMENTS

Make sure that the sensor has
been defaulted and is set to
pairing mode (see section 3.5).

Perform the signal strength
testing procedure described in
the control panel installation
manual. Make sure that the
signal is sufficient. If
necessary, replace the
sensor’s battery.

Problem Remed

The sensor sends a Low
Battery indication.

Panel does not arm because of
an unrecognized sensor
malfunction

To ensure continuous proper
operation, replace the battery
within two weeks of the first
Low Battery indication.

Consult with your installer or
system provider before you
disable a zone.

Disable the sensor zone (see
the control panel user manual).
Note that disabling a sensor
zone lowers the overall security
level of your system.

Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated or
may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection,
malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the optical system,
decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the
human body and unexpected failure of a component part.

The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to detect
intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be
checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.
An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for
insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be prudent
enough to continue insuring their lives and property, even though they
are protected by an alarm system.
