1. General
The MCT-560 is a fully supervised wireless PowerCode detector used
with the PowerMax Pro (Ver. 5), PowerMax COMPLETE, and Amber
alarm systems. The detector alerts the alarm system control panel upon
detecting critical indoor or outdoor temperatures. The detector
generates an alarm message when its sensor detects that the
temperature has reached a certain temperature point. A restore
message is generated when it crosses back the threshold temperature
point. There are a total of four fixed temperature points and the user can
enable one or more temperature point. The MCT-560 can be used in
instances where temperature detection is critical.
Other examples of detector usage are as follows:
•
Activating and deactivating pipe heaters at locations where low
temperatures may causes the water in pipes to freeze.
•
Warn of possible electrical device malfunction due to high or low
temperature levels.
•
Alerting elderly people of a significant rise or drop in room temperature.
The MCT-560 detects both indoor and outdoor temperatures. The detector
monitors room temperature using an internal sensor. For outdoor or
refrigerator installations, a waterproof temperature probe (optional) is used.
When the probe is connected, the temperature measurement is
performed only by the probe sensor. When the probe is not
connected, the temperature measurement is performed only by the
detector's internal sensor.
Once the predefined temperature is reached, the detector wirelessly
updates the alarm system control panel which then sends a notification to
the central station or uses the PGM/X-10 controls to switch on a
connected appliance, for example, a heater or air conditioner.
Note: When using the temperature probe to monitor refrigerator
temperature, the temperature probe is installed inside the refrigerator, while
the detector is installed on the wall or ceiling. For outdoor installations, the
temperature probe is installed outdoors, while the detector is installed
indoors.
Upon alarm, a digital message is transmitted, composed of the unit ID
followed by message data.
Since messages transmitted by the MCT-560 might collide with
transmissions from other PowerCode detectors, a "smart" anti-
collision transmission sequence is used.
The MCT-560 tamper switch is activated when the MCT-560 is
removed form the mounting surface or when the MCT-560 securing
screw (see Fig. 4 point 1) is removed. A periodic supervision
message is transmitted automatically once every 15 or 60 minutes, or
according to local requirements.
An LED lights whenever alarm, alarm restore or tamper events are reported.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. A
weak battery will result in a "low battery" message.

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with the essential requirements and provisions of
Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of

3. Preparation for Use
Follow the instructions in Figs. 2 and 3 showing how to open the
detector cover and gain access to the DIP switch.
A. Function Switches
The MCT-560 has a 4-position DIP switch function selector (Fig. 3) that
enables selection of up to 4 temperatures at which the detector will send
an alert. Each switch lever enables one temperature alert.
All switches are set to OFF, by default. Setting a switch to ON enables
the MCT-560 to detect the matched temperature as listed in Table 1.
