• System supervision: All wireless peripherals
within the protected site send periodic supervision
messages. If such a message is overdue, the
PowerMax Pro displays an ‘inactivity’ trouble
message. Your installer can disable this feature if
so desired.
• Battery supervision: You do not have to worry about
‘dead’ batteries. The PowerMax Pro displays a ‘Low
Battery’ message whenever a battery in a wireless
sensor is found to be near the end of its useful life.
Terms of the Trade
Better understanding of your system is assured if you
take time to read the definitions in APPENDIX A at
the end of this manual. However, if this is not your
first alarm system, then simply read on.

When the keypad cover is closed, as shown in Figure 1,
only two pushbuttons are visible - the top panel controls:

Note regarding the Mute Speaker button
The Mute Speaker button is active only if the "Set
Voice Option" function is enabled ("enable prompts" -
see user setting flow-chart, fig. 8).
Multi-Function Transmitter
Your system responds to signals sent by either a 4-
button (MCT- 234) or a 6-button two-way (MCT- 237)
miniature ‘keyfob’ transmitter that you and other
users can carry (see figure 4).
Both wireless keyfob sensors (MCT-234 and MCT-237)
and the two-way wireless keypad (MKP-150/151) will
control the system / a predefined partition only (*). This
means that the 4-button keyfob (MCT-234), 6-button
two-way keyfob (MCT-237), and the two-way wireless
keypad (MKP-150/151), will be able to perform any of
the described functions on the system / a single partition
only (*), and not on the entire protected premises.
Note: MKP-150/151 is not compatible for use when
partition (*) is enabled.
* In PowerMax Pro with PARTITION feature.
