MCT-350 Installation Instructions 1
MCT-350 SMA
Door / Window Sensor Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-350 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic door / window
sensor, for use with ZigBee enabled home security panels. The sensor
includes a built-in reed switch that opens upon removal of a magnet
placed near it.
The MCT-350 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 60 days before expiration of battery life (for operation in room
temperature).

3. ACTIVATING AND PAIRING THE SENSOR
To pair the sensor to the security panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
1. Set the panel to pairing mode.
2. To activate pairing mode on the sensor, pull the activation strip from the
back of the sensor (Figure 2).
3. The LED blinks 3 times every 5 seconds (repeated for up to 20 times) to
indicate that the sensor is searching for a security panel.
Note: If the sensor pairing is not successful during the searching
process, restart it by tripping the reed switch or tamper switch of the door
window sensor.
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the security panel. (See the pairing
instructions in the security panel installation guide.)
Note: Pairing should be done before installation.

4. INSTALLATION AND SENSOR TESTING
CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Persons in
non-hazardous indoor locations only.
4.1 Mounting
NOTE: It is highly recommended to attach the door / window 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
15 mm (0.6 in.) from the sensor’s marked side.
The sensor should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on
the moving surface (see Figure 3b).

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

raise the level of the
magnet to be
level/closer to sensor.
Install the spacers as
shown in Figure 3c.
4.2 Sensor Testing
1. Open and close the door or window and confirm the status is properly
updated on the security panel.
2. Perform the signal strength testing procedure to make sure the device
has a good signal. This procedure is described in the security panel
installation manual

Fig. 4b –Replacing Battery
1. Press down on the battery cover and slide in the direction shown to
open it (see Figure 4a).
2. Push against the clip and lift the battery from the slot below it.
3. Insert the new battery into the sensor while observing battery polarity
(see Figure 4b).
4. Close the battery cover.
Note: The required battery is CR2450 Lithium 3V, manufactured by
Panasonic.
Caution! Keep the battery away from small children.
Caution! There is risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an
incorrect type. Dispose of used battery according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
6. REBOOTING THE SENSOR
You can reboot the sensor, as follows:
1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Press and release the tamper switch for 1 to 2 seconds.
3. Close the battery cover.
7. DEFAULTING THE SENSOR
CAUTION! The defaulting process removes the device from the network
and enables re-pairing.
Open the battery cover and pull back the clip to remove the battery (see
Figure 4).
1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch (see Figure 4b).
2. Insert the battery into the sensor while observing battery polarity (see
Figure 4b).
3. Release the tamper switch within 4 seconds. The LED will blink 3
times every 5 seconds to indicate successful default.
4. To re-pair the sensor, follow the instructions in section 3.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-350, do the
suggested remedy:
Problem Remedy
Attempt to pair the sensor
is unsuccessful. Make sure that the sensor has been defaulted
and is set to pairing mode (see section 7).
Make sure the security panel supports the
MCT-350.
The sensor and the panel
do not communicate. Perform the signal strength testing procedure
described in the security panel installation
manual. Make sure that the signal is sufficient.
If necessar
y
, replace the sensor’s batter
y
.
Problem Remedy
The sensor sends a Low
Battery indication. To ensure continuous proper operation, replace
the battery within two weeks of the first Low
Batter
y
indication
(
see section 5
)
.

10. PRODUCT LIMITATIONS
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.
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 equipment.
