Wireless PowerG 2-Way Keyfob
1. INTRODUCTION
KF-234 PG2 is a miniature
PowerG 4-button (6-function)
keyfob, designed for use with the
PowerMax10-G2.
Transmission is initiated by
pressing any one of the four
recessed pushbuttons. Upon
pressing a specific button, the KF-
234 PG2 transmits a PowerG
message associated with the
button that was pressed and
identifiable by PowerMax10-G2
control panels.
Figure 1:
External View
A red LED lights during transmission. When an identified
command is received by the PowerMax10-G2 control
panel, it acknowledges the command. Upon
acknowledgement, the green LED lights and a happy beep
is heard to indicate successful completion of the command
or the red LED lights and a sad beep is heard to indicate
that the control panel cannot perform the command.
In addition, a battery report is transmitted with the outgoing
message. PowerMax10-G2 control panels are designed to
identify this report and operate a corresponding output, if
required.
Each keyfob is supplied with a small key ring.
Operating power is obtained from an internal 3V Lithium

8. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
8.1 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. Control panels may be blocked by radio signals occurring
on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the
code selected.
B. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to
determine whether there are sources of interference
and to protect against faults.

Important! The K9-85 detector is immune to 38 kg (85 lb)
animals moving on the floor or climbing on furniture as long as
the activity takes place below 1 m (3 ft). Above the 1 m (3 ft)
height limit, the detector is immune to 19 kg (42 lb) pets, but the
pet immunity will decrease as the pet gets closer to the
detector. It is therefore recommended to select a mounting
location that minimizes potential close proximity of animals.

7. SPECIAL COMMENTS
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.
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.

NEXT PG2, NEXT-K9 PG2
D-302758 7
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.
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.

SMOKE SENSORS (SMD-426, SMD-427)
Supervised Wireless PowerG Smoke / Heat and Smoke Detector
1. DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
SMD-426 (smoke detector) and SMD-427 (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 a PowerG type
UHF transceiver.
SMD-426 / SMD-427 provides early warning of developing
fire by sounding an alarm with its built-in alarm horn, and
by transmitting a coded alarm signal to a PowerG receiver
or to a compatible wireless alarm control panel.
SMD-427 will activate a fire alarm upon either smoke or
heat (temperature rate-of-rise) condition. With two fire
sensors (heat and smoke), the SMD-427 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.
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 transceiver
to the alarm system control panel.

the tamper switch is restored.
ALARM REPORT:
In the alarm condition, the detector sends the alarm event
to the control panel. When the alarm condition is restored,
the detector sends an alarm restore event to the control
panel and sets the alarm restore indication (red LED blinks
once per sec.)
Note: The alarm restore indication can be cleared via the
control panel only.

3.2 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.
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
•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 8. Recommended Best
and Acceptable Locations to
Mount Smoke Detectors
Figure 9. Recommended
Location to Mount Smoke
Detectors in Rooms with
Sloped, Gabled or
Peaked Ceiling
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."
3.3 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 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 paint thinner fumes.

SMD-426, SMD-427
10 D-302758
•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 Streams with Combustion Particles
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.

3.6 Resetting the Transceiver Module
The detector has a wall / rear tamper switch to alert
removal of detector. The tamper switch actuator, extending
through a hole in the base (see Figure 3), is pressed
against the bracket when the unit is attached to the bracket.
Removal of the unit from the bracket will cause the switch
contacts to open, creating a tamper event, which will be
reported by the transceiver to the control panel.

8. 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.
GSmoke 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.
9. TAKING CARE OF THE SMD-426 or
SMD-427
9.1 Battery Replacement
The SMD-426 and SMD-427 were 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 once-per-minute "beep" will sound after a
few days. The low-battery "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.

SMD-426, SMD-427
14 D-302758
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).
9.2 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 and
audible indications).
•Perform detector functional test (see par. 3.7) 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.
10. ADDITIONAL ADVICE
10.1 Routine Testing
The detector should be tested weekly and also whenever
you suspect that it does not go into alarm (for further details
see par. 3.6). 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.
10.2 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.

10.3 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.

1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-302 PG2 is a fully supervised, PowerG magnetic
contact device. The device includes a built-in reed switch
(that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it). The
MC-302 PG sends the parameters of the specific alarm to
the control panel using PC II 2-way communications
protocol.
The MC-302 PG II tamper switch is activated when the cover is
removed.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted
automatically. The control panel is thus informed, at regular
intervals, of the unit’s active participation in the system.
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. INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting (Fig. 3a and 3b)
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.
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.
Attention! The unit has a back tamper switch (optional)
under the PCB. As long as the PCB is seated firmly within
the base, the switch lever will be pressed against a special
break-away base segment that is loosely connected to the
base (Figures 2 and 3a). Be sure to fasten the break-
away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is forcibly
removed from the wall, this segment will break away from
the base, causing the tamper switch to open.

Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Fig.
3a).
A. Press the tamper switch once and release it.
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its
normal (undisturbed) position, and then secure the front
cover to the base with the case closure screw.
C. Momentarily open the door or window and verify the red
LED blinks, indicating detection.
D. After 2 seconds the LED blinks 3 times.
The following table indicates received signal strength
indication.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured.
Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you
receive a "poor" signal from the device, re-locate it and re-
test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to
PowerMax10-G2 Installer Guide.
7. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
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.

determine whether there are sources of interference
and to protect against faults.
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to
the unit, not expressly approved by Visonic Ltd., could
void the user’s FCC or other authority to operate the

REPEATERS (RP-600 PG2)
Wireless Repeater for PowerG Communications
1. INTRODUCTION
The RP-600 PG2 is a range
extender designed to relay digital
data between wireless
PowerMax10-G2 Devices and a
PowerMax10-G2 Control Panel.
Repeater links are required when
the Control Panel is beyond the
range of at least some of the
devices and is therefore incapable
of receiving transmissions directly
(see Figure 2).

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Repeater's Location Selection
A. In a repeater setup, install the repeater where good
communication is assured with the target receiver and with
the transmitters deployed in the repeater's coverage area.
B. Mount the repeater as high as possible above the floor
and well away from metal chimneys, large metal
cabinets, metal doors and reinforced concrete walls, all
of which may reduce the communication range.
C. Make sure that the location you have selected is near
an electrical outlet.
