MCS-720
Fully Wireless Indoor Siren
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCS-720 is a fully supervised wireless siren, for indoor use, that
communicates with PowerMax Pro or PowerMaxComplete alarm system.
Features
• The siren is activated according to specific commands that are
transmitted from the alarm system (refer to the alarm system
specifications - SIREN SIGNALS).
Note: The siren is activated for a predefined "Bell Time" (refer to
PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete installer guide, par. 4.4),
according to local authorities requirements, or until the system is
disarmed, whichever occurs first.
• Squawk indications when using a keyfob
High, mid or low siren squawk (beep) sound can be used to
indicate arming (1 squawk) and disarming (2 squawks) of the alarm
system.
• Flash lights / strobe
When an identified activation command is received from the alarm
system, the strobe light is activated every 1 second (100ms ON,
900ms OFF) for a period of 20 minutes maximum, or until the alarm
system is disarmed whichever occurs first. There is an option to
disable the lights/strobe locally by using an internal jumper.
• Tamper protection
The unit has tamper protection for wall and front cover opening
alarm.
• Low battery voltage alert
When the battery voltage is low, low battery message is sent to the
alarm system. After the low voltage message delivery, at least 2
siren alarms are possible before the siren is totally inactive.
• 2-way full supervision
The siren is a fully supervised, 2-way communication device. It
includes a receiver, to receive activation commands from the alarm
system, and a transmitter, to periodically transmit its status signal
to the alarm system.

The transmitted signal strength can be measured during the
installation (refer to PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete installer
guide, paragraph 5.2 – Diagnostic Test).
• Self-test feature
The siren can be tested locally (by using the SELF TEST switch) or
remotely (from the control panel), upon batteries insertion, prior to
the actual wall installation.
