MCT-­340 SMA
Door  /  Window  Sensor  
 
 
1.   INTRODUCTION
The   MCT-­340   is   a   fully   supervised,   wireless   magnetic   door   /   window  
sensor,   for   use   with   ZigBee   enabled   home   security   panels.   The   sensor  
includes   a   built-­in   reed   switch   (that   opens   upon   removal   of   a   magnet  
placed  near  it).    
The  MCT-­340  tamper  switch  is  activated  when  the  cover  is  removed.  
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  will  be  sent  to  the  receiver  60  
days  before  expiration  of  battery  life  (for  operation  in  room  temperature).  
2.   SPECIFICATIONS
WIRELESS  
Supported  Network:  ZigBee  H.A  1.2  
Frequency:  2.4  GHz  as  per  IEEE  802.15.4  
Tamper  Alert:  Reported  when  a  tamper  event  occurs  and  in  any  
subsequent  message,  until  the  tamper  switch  is  restored.  
ELECTRICAL  
Internal  Battery:  3V  Lithium  battery,  type  CR2032.  Use  Varta  only.  
Nominal  Battery  Capacity:  230  mAh  
Battery  Life  Expectancy:  3  years  (for  typical  use).  
 
3.   ACTIVATING AND PAIRING THE SENSOR
To  pair  the  sensor  to  the  security  panel,  you  must  set  it  to  pairing  mode.  
1.  First  set  the  panel  to  pairing  mode  and  then  the  sensor.  
2.  To  activate,  pull  the  activation  strip  (from  either  side)  that  protrudes  
from  the  back  of  the  sensor.  
3.  The  LED  blinks  3  times  every  5  seconds  (repeated  for  up  to  20  times)  to  
indicate  that  the  sensor  is  searching  for  a  security  panel.    
Note:  If  sensor  pairing  is  not  successful  during  the  searching  process  -­  
by  tripping  the  door  /  window  sensor  or  by  pressing  the  tamper  switch  -­  
the  searching  process  will  restart.  
4.  Complete  the  pairing  procedure  on  the  security  panel  (see  the  pairing  
instructions  in  the  security  panel's  installation  guide).  
 
4.   INSTALLATION AND SENSOR TESTING
CAUTION:   This   equipment   shall   be   installed   by   Service   Personnel   in  
non-­hazardous  indoor  locations  only.  
4.1 Mounting
NOTE:  It  is  highly  recommended  to  attach  the  door  /  window  sensor  to  the  
top   of   the   door/window   on   the   fixed   frame   and   the   magnet   to   the   movable  
part  (door  or  window).  Make  sure  that  the  magnet  is  located  not  more  than  6  
mm  (0.25  in.)  from  the  sensor's  marked  side.    
The  sensor  should  be  mounted  on  the  fixed  surface  and  the  magnet  on  
the  moving  surface  (see  Figure  3b).

Note:  Inability  to  connect  with  wireless  network,  or  wireless  link  quality  no  
higher  than  20%  may  significantly  reduce  the  expected  battery  life.  
Battery  Power  Test:  Performed  immediately  upon  battery  insertion  and  
periodically  every  several  hours.  
Battery  Supervision:  Automatic  transmission  of  battery  condition  data  as  
part  of  any  status  report.  
ENVIRONMENTAL    
Operating  Temperature:  0°C  to  55°C  (32°F  to  131°F).  
Dimensions:  66  x  25  x  10  mm  (2-­9/16  x  1  x  6/16  in.)  
Weight  (including  battery):  15g  (0.5  oz)  
Note:  Pairing  should  be  performed  before  installation.

4.2 Sensor Testing
Close  the  door  or  window,  thus  restoring  it  to  the  undisturbed  state
1.  Press  down  on  the  battery  cover  and  slide  in  the  direction  shown  in  
2
Figure  4a  to  open.  
 
2.
Pull  back  on  the  clip  and  remove  the  battery  as  shown  in  Figure  4b.  
3.  Insert  the  new  battery  into  the  sensor  while  observing  battery  polarity  
(see  Figure  4b).  
4.  Close  the  battery  cover.  
 
Note:  The  required  battery  is  CR2032  Lithium  3V,  manufactured  by  
 
VARTA.
