Visonic MCT-370 SMA Installation Instructions

MCT-370 SMA
Door / Window Sensor
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-370 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-370 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 CR2. Use Panasonic or Duracell Ultra only.
Nominal Battery Capacity: 850 mAh
Battery Life Expectancy: 5.9 years (for typical use, not yet verified by ETL).
Note: Inability to connect with wireless network, or wireless link quality no higher than
20% may significantly reduce the expected battery life.
3. ACTIVATING AND PAIRING THE SENSOR
To pair the sensor to the security panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
1. Set the panel to pairing mode.
2. To activate pairing mode on the sensor, pull the activation strip from the back of the
sensor (Figure 2).
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 the sensor pairing is not successful during the searching process, restart it
by tripping the reed switch or tamper switch of the door window sensor.
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the security panel. (See the pairing instructions
in the security panel installation guide.)
Note: Pairing should be done before installation.
4. INSTALLATION AND SENSOR TESTING
CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Persons 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 13 mm (0.5 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).

MCT-370 Installation Instructions
1. Peel away the release liners from the
two strips of double-sided adhesive
tape and attach to the device and
magnet (see Figure 3a).
OR
Secure the device using the #4
screws provided.
a. Remove the mounting plate by
inserting a screw driver in the
opening and pulling up. (see
Figure 2).
b. Secure the mounting plate to the
door or window frame with the
screws provided. Ensure proper
orientation of the magnet
location mark.
c. Make sure the tabs clear the
cover, and then slide the sensor
onto the mounting plate.
2. Align the device with the magnet
according to the location marks and
fasten the device and magnet to the
mounting surface. The sensor should
be mounted on the fixed surface and
magnet on the moving surface (see
Figure 3b).

4.2 Magnet Mounting
The magnet can be mounted with adhesive tape or screws. To mount the magnet with
adhesive tape, it is optional to use one or two spacers (see Figure 4).
Fig. 4 – Magnet Mounting with Spacers
To mount the magnet with screws, always use one spacer (see Figure 5).
1. Fasten the spacer to the mounting surface with two #4 screws.
2. Locate the magnet on the spacer at the correct direction and push it in.

4.2 Sensor Testing
1. Open and close the door or window and confirm the status is properly updated on
the security panel.
2. Perform the signal strength testing procedure to make sure the device has a good
signal. This procedure is described in the security panel installation manual.
