Visonic MCS-710 Installation Instructions

MCS-710
Fully Wireless Siren
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCS-710 is an indoor or outdoor fully wireless siren,
designed for installation in areas in which wiring action is difficult
or impossible. There is no need for an external power supply. The
MCS-710 is powered by an internal non-chargeable battery.
The siren communicates with the PowerMax+, PowerMax Pro or
PowerMax LE. When an identified activation command is received
from the control panel, the siren activates its sounder, activates its
flash lights and acknowledges its activation to the alarm system.
The MCS-710 and the control panel should be located in the
same house.
MCS-710 Features
•
Designed for indoor or outdoor use
The siren has double plastic cover for extra protection against
rain and sun.
•
Distinguishable siren fire and burglar alarms
Fire alarm: Alternating on/off alarm sound.
Burglary alarm: Continuous high/low tone sweep.
Note: The siren is activated for a predefined "Bell Time" (refer to
PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro / PowerMax LE installer guide, par.
4.4) according to local authorities requirements. After this period,
the siren sound stops.
•
Squawk indications
By using a keyfob, High, mid or low siren squawk (beep)
sounds can be used to indicate arming (1 squawk) and
disarming (2 squawks) of the PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro /
PowerMax LE (as described in the user's guide section 7).
•
Flash lights
The siren includes 6 flash lights that are activated as follows:
When an identified activation command is received from the
control panel, the siren starts sounding for a predetermined
time (set by the PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro / PowerMax LE
"4. DEFINE PANEL", "04: BELL TIME" menu). (The siren
sound can be stopped by the disarming the control panel).
After the siren sounding period (if the alarm system is not
disarmed) the siren lights flash once every 1 second (0.1
second ON, 0.9 second OFF) for a period of 20 minutes, or
until the alarm system is disarmed.
•

Non-rechargeable 3.6V Lithium battery
When the battery voltage is low, low battery message is sent
to the alarm control system. After the low voltage message
delivery, at least 2 siren alarms will be possible before the
siren will be 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+ / PowerMax Pro / PowerMax
LE installer guide, paragraph 5.2 – Diagnostic Test).
•
Self-test feature
Upon pressing the MCS-710 self test switch for 3 seconds,
the siren functional check is performed (low level sounds and
