User’s Guide
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCM-140/MCM-140+ is a wireless remote control unit for the
PowerMax family control panels. The MCM-140 and MCM-140+ differ
in their transmitted ID type and functions, as detailed in the
SPECIFICATIONS.
The MCM-140/MCM-140+ enables the user to arm/disarm the alarm
system, to initiate emergency/fire/panic alarms, to perform one of the AUX
(auxiliary) functions (see Note 2 and 3 in Section 7), to turn lighting devices
on and off, and PGM control. The keypad includes an RF transmitter that
sends out a differently coded RF signal for each command.
For PowerMax, the MCM-140 enables activation of the Aux
(Auxiliary), seven home control outputs (X-10), one PGM output, Fire
and Emergency functions. Each button needs to be individually
defined for the AUX, PGM or X-10 functions at the corresponding
points of the define panel and define outputs menu of the control
panel.
For PowerMax+, PowerMax Pro or PowerMax Complete all the
functionality is implemented automatically without using space of the
zones.
The main features of the MCM-140/MCM-140+ are:
• Automatic reporting of low battery voltage.
• Visual indications by red/green/amber LED.
• Keypad back lighting (selectable).
• Various audible signals sounded by the buzzer in response to
specific actions.
• Automatic supervision messages at 60 minute intervals or
according to the local standards.
• Long-life 3 VDC lithium battery.
• Wall mounting option.
• Friendly programming.
The red LED lights during transmission. The amber LED lights during
the programming process (and during transmission if battery voltage is
low). The green LED lights upon each keystroke.
