Connect to Power
The Siren Marine MTC can be powered by either a 12 or 24vdc system. The internal battery charges off of the boat’s
battery, and it is recommended that the unit be connected directly to the battery with a 5amp slow fuse tted between
the unit and the power supply. Please note that this connection must be fused for over- current protection.
The Positive(+) or power side of the battery should be connected to terminal position #1 Labeled BATT 1+. The Negative(–)
or ground side of the power connection should be connected to terminal position #2 Labeled BATT NEG.
What You Need
MTC Unit - Remove lower cap to expose the terminal board
Battery Wire w/5amp Inline Fuse
Your Boat’s Battery
READ BEFORE STARTING
The provided battery wire w/5 amp inline fuse
connects the device to the boat’s battery and:
Powers the Cellular (GSM) modual
Powers the internal GPS/Tracking
(Geo-Fencing)
Charges the internal back-up Li-Po battery
Powers the internal device accelerometer
This hardwired connection can come directly
from the battery posts or any 24/7 power circuit
that is powered by that battery.
Please note that this connection must be fused
for over-current protection.
Important: Do not wire the MTC to the
switched side of the battery.

To connect the MTC to power, follow the instructions below:
Step 1
Using the supplied battery wire, connect the Red 12v Positive(+) wire to the Positive(+) post on your battery
and connect the other end to terminal #1 on the MTC labeled BATT 1+.
Step 2
Using the supplied battery wire, connect the Black 12v Negative(-) wire to the Negative(-) post on your battery
and connect the other end to terminal #2 on the MTC labeled BATT NEG.

Battery 2 Monitoring
The Siren Marne MTC has the ability to monitor 2 batteries on board. Both battery inputs share the same
common ground(-) labeled BATT NEG.
To connect the MTC to a second battery
Connect one end of a Red 12v Positive(+) lead ( not supplied ) from the Positive(+) post on your second
battery and connect the other end to terminal #3 on the MTC labeled BATT 2+.
Connect one end of a Black 12v Negative(-) lead ( not supplied ) from the Negative(-) post on your second
battery and connect the other end to terminal #2 on the MTC labeled BATT NEG.

Ignition (Engine 1)
This input is designated to detect when your engine is on or off as well as measure engine
hours. Connect to the Positive(+) terminal from your ignition switch to the terminal labeled
IGNITION on the MTC to sense voltage when the key is turned on. This input is looking for
Positive(+) voltage.
Manual Arm/Disarm Switch
This input is designated to be connected to a Manual On/Off switch located in a hidden area or
mounted at the helm. This gives you the option to manually arm and disarm the system without
using the Siren Marine app or when you are outside cell coverage. Connect the Negative(-) side
of the switch to the input labeled ARM/DIS on the MTC. To learn how to setup your arm and
disarm functions see the Siren Marine Quick Start Guide.
Security 1 & 2
These 2 inputs are designated for Siren Marine motion sensors, reed switches, canvas snap
sensors, etc. Connect one wire from these accessories to the terminal labeled Security 1/2 on
the MTC, and the other to Ground(-). Please reference the specic accessory wiring instructions
included with the accessory.
High Water
This input is designated to detect high water in the bilge. Any normally open(N/O) water sensor
or oat switch that closes to ground(-) will work in this terminal position. Connect one wire from
these accessories to the terminal labeled High Water on the MTC, and the other to Ground(-).
Shore Power
This input is designated to detect the presence/loss of shore power. If using the Siren Marine
Shore Power Sensor Plug, simply terminate the black lead to Ground(-) or BATT NEG and the
blue lead to the Shore Power Input. The Siren Marine AC Shore Power Relay is also available
as a hardwired option directly off the Shore Power Breaker. Please see instructions included
with that accessory.
Engine Hours (Engine 2)
This input is designated to track your engine hours. This input works best when connected to an
oil pressure gauge as it will only count engine hours when the engine is running. Any switch that
is Normally Open(N/O) and closes to Ground(-) will work on this terminal position. To monitor
engine hours from a Positive(+) ignition source use the Siren Marine PAM-4 DC Relay.
Reference the AC and DC relay on the support page at Sirenmarine.com.
Reference the MTC Terminal Board on page 5.

Spare Input - DIG IN7
This spare terminal position is used to connect additional security sensors,
high water (bilge) sensor, or any other sensor that closes to Ground(-).
*To be used for future functionality.
Temperature
The Siren Marine MTC has 4 designated inputs for connecting 2 hardwired temperature
probes to the MTC. Only the Siren Marine Temperature Probe will correctly display
temperature readings from the MTC. Please refer to the temperature probe’s wiring
instructions included with that accessory.
Outputs 1/2/3
The outputs that are available on the MTC unit have a max rating of 1amp.
For smaller applications such as a strobe light or siren that have a rating of
less than 1amp, no external relay is required.
For applications such as connecting to your bilge pump, air conditioning or refrigerator,
please match the external relay to the load requirements for need of that application.
Blue Sea Battery Switch
These outputs are designated for the Blue Sea remote battery switch that
will allow you to remotely turn your battery on and off from the Siren Marine app. Connect the
wires from the Blue Sea battery switch as shown below.
Connect the Orange Wire out of the Blue Sea wire harness would be terminated
on BL SEA ON on the MTC terminal board.
Connect the Brown Wire out of the Blue Sea wire harness to the MTC to BL SEA OFF.
Status LED PINS
Coming soon for alarm status indicator light.
*To be used for future functionality.
Bilge 1 & 2
This input is congured to track bilge pump activity. Wire into the Positive(+) side of the
12v/24v indicator light at your helm that powers only when the pump is cycling. Or wire
directly into the Positive(+) side if the Bilge Pump. If you are looking to power your bilge
pump please refer to the device output section.
