MCT-320 SMA

Wireless Contact Sensor

Installation Instructions

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCT-320 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor,

for use with iControl control panels. The sensor includes a built-in

reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it).

The MCT-320 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed or

when the detector is removed from the wall.

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.

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.
