MC-302 PG2
Supervised PowerG Magnetic Contact Device
Installation Instructions
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 PowerG 2-way communications protocol.
The MC-302 PG 2 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 V Lithium battery.
When the battery voltage is low, a
“low battery” message is sent to
the receiver.

Canada: RSS 210
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 the essential requirements and
provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio and
telecommunications terminal equipment.
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.

4. ENROLLMENT
Refer to the PowerMaster-10 Installer Guide for the device enrollment procedure.
5. MODIFY DEVICE SETTINGS
This section describes how to configure the parameters of contact sensors from the PowerMaster-10 control panel.
To Modify the Contact Sensor Settings
Refer to the PowerMaster-10 Installer Guide and perform the procedure for Adding A Wireless Device (section 4.5.2), or, Modifying a
Device (section 4.5.5). Then continue below to modify the device settings.
1.
Here you determine whether or not the alarm LED indication will be activated.
2.
3. or Select between "LED ON" and "LED OFF".
4.
When exiting "
ZONES / DEVICES " menu, the PowerMaster-10 system displays the number of
devices that need to be updated, as follows: DEV UPDATING NNN.
For detailed instructions on Adding Devices, Deleting Devices, Replacing Devices and
Defining Defaults see the PowerMaster-10 Installer Guide.
6. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
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
PowerMaster-10 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.
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.
