MCT-370 Installation Instructions

MCT-370 SMA

Door / Window Sensor

Installation Instructions

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-370 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-370 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 Personnel 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 6 mm (0.25 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).

1. Peel away the release liners from the

two strips of double-sided adhesive

tape and attach to the device and

magnet (see Figure 3a).

Secure the device using the screws

provided.

a. Remove the cover by inserting a

screw driver in the opening and

pulling up. (see Figure 2).

b. Attach the mounting plate to the

sensor with the two screws

provided.

c. Place the cover onto the unit

with the mounting plate installed.

Make sure the tabs clear the

cover, and then slide the cover

onto the mounting plate.

2. Alignthe 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 (see

Figure 3b).

4.2 Magnet Mounting

The magnet can be mounted with adhesive tape or screws. To mount the magnet with

adhesive tape, it is optional to use one or two spacers (see Figure 4).

To mount the magnet withscrews, always useone spacer (seeFigure 5).

1. Fasten the spacer to the mounting surface with two screws.

2. Locate the magnet on the spacer at the correct direction and push it

upward.

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.

5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Fig. 4a –Opening Battery Cover

Fig. 4b –Replacing Battery

1. Press down on the battery cover and slide in the direction shown to open it

(see Figure 4a).

2. Lift the battery from the compartment.

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 CR2 Lithium 3V, manufactured by Panasonic.

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. 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.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-370, 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-370.

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 necessary,

replace the sensor’s battery.

Problem

Remedy

The sensor sends a Low

Battery indication.

To ensure continuous proper operation, replace the

battery within two weeks of the first Low Battery

indication (see section 5).

Panel does not arm because

of an unrecognized sensor

malfunction

Consult with your installer or system provider

before you disable a zone.

Disable the detector zone (see the security panel user

manual). Note that disabling a sensor zone lowers the

overall security level of your system.

9. 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.
