1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-302 is a fully supervised, PowerCode magnetic contact
transmitter. For UL installations, the MCT-302 is for use with the UL
listed control unit, model PowerMax+ only. The transmitter includes
a built-in reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed
near it) and an auxiliary hard-wired input, programmable as either
N.C. or E.O.L., for use with additional sensors - pushbuttons,
detectors, door contacts etc.
An on-board DIP switch allows the installer to disable the
magnet- operated reed switch if only the auxiliary input is needed.
The reed switch and the auxiliary input behave as separate
transmitters, although they trigger the same RF transmitter. Each
input has a unique 24-bit PowerCode ID, selected in the factory
from over 16 million possible code combinations.
Since messages transmitted by the MCT-302 might collide with
transmissions from other PowerCode transmitters, a "smart" anti-
collision transmission sequence is used.
The MCT-302 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.
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.

GB/US: TRANSMISSION LED
SP: LED DE TRANSMIÓN
Standards: Meets FCC Part 15, MPT1349 and Directive
1999/5/EC,
EN 50131-1, Grade 2, Class II.
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. 2)
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, press the tamper
switch while you remove the battery.
3.2 Auxiliary Input Wiring
Remember! If your application does not require the auxiliary
input, be sure to set DIP switch SW2 to OFF and to short the
input terminals together with a piece of jumper wire.
A. Connect the auxiliary sensor contacts across the MCT-302
auxiliary input terminals.
B. If the auxiliary input of the MCT-302 is defined as a Normally
Closed (N.C.) type (SW2 set to OFF), series connected N.C.
sensor contacts must be used exclusively. An E.O.L. resistor
will not be required.
C. For E.O.L. supervision, set SW2 to ON.
Normally Closed (N.C.) as well as Normally Open (N.O.)
sensor contacts can be used, as show in figure 3. A 47kΩ
E.O.L. resistor must be wired at the far end of the zone loop.
Note: For UL installations, the device connected to the initiating
circuit must be located in the same room as the transmitter.
4. PREPARATION FOR USE
4.1 The Function Switches
A. Switch Tasks
The MCT-302 has a 4-position DIP switch function selector. Each
switch lever allows you to select one of two options.
B. Setting the Switches
Set the function switches as desired prior
to applying power. Use a ball point pen or
another pointed object to shift the switch
levers. The ON position is indicated by
the arrow on the switch body.
