The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is a wireless, fully supervised, 2-way communication device designed to be installed in your home or business. It functions as a waterproof device, making it suitable for various environments.
The device primarily serves as a siren, emitting a loud sound to alert you to potential intrusions or other events. It also features a strobe light, which flashes to provide a visual alert. The siren and strobe light activate simultaneously, providing both audible and visual indications.
The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is a fully supervised device, meaning it continuously communicates with the alarm system to ensure its proper functioning. This 2-way communication allows for real-time status updates and ensures that the device is always ready to respond.
The device also includes a tamper switch, which triggers an alarm if the siren cover is removed. This feature enhances security by preventing unauthorized tampering with the device.
The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is designed for easy installation. It can be mounted on a wall, either vertically or horizontally. The device comes with a mounting bracket and screws for secure attachment.
The device is powered by either 1 or 2 non-rechargeable batteries, providing a long operating life. For the MCS-730 AC model, an AC power supply is also available, which can be used in conjunction with the batteries for continuous operation.
The device features a "bell time" option, which allows you to set the duration of the siren activation. This can be configured from the control panel or by a local installer.
The strobe light operates for a limited time (usually 20 minutes) after an alarm is disarmed or when the system is disarmed. This helps conserve battery life while still providing a visual alert.
The device provides different alarm signals for Burglary and Fire events. It also includes a "squawk" feature, which is a short audible signal that can be used to indicate system arming or disarming. This can be configured from the control panel or by a local installer.
The tamper switch triggers an alarm if the siren cover is removed. This feature enhances security by preventing unauthorized tampering with the device.
The device also includes a low battery message alert. When the batteries are low, the device sends a signal to the alarm system, indicating that the batteries need to be replaced. This ensures that the device remains operational.
The strobe light can be configured to flash in different colors (red, blue, or amber) to indicate specific events. This allows for visual differentiation of alarm types.
The device also has a "strobe LED light" feature, which is a bottom-mounted LED that can be enabled by an internal jumper. This feature provides additional visual indication.
The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is designed for minimal maintenance. The long battery life ensures that battery replacement is infrequent. The low battery message alert provides timely notification when battery replacement is needed.
The tamper switch ensures that any unauthorized attempts to open the device are detected, allowing for prompt action.
The device is waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor installation and reducing the need for frequent cleaning or protection from the elements.
The fully supervised nature of the device means that its status is continuously monitored by the alarm system. This allows for early detection of any malfunctions or issues, enabling prompt maintenance or repair.
The device also includes a self-test button, which allows you to manually test the siren and strobe light to ensure they are functioning correctly. This can be done periodically to verify the device's operational status.
The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is designed to be a reliable and low-maintenance component of your security system, providing both audible and visual alerts in case of an alarm.
