Magnetic Contact Sensor (MC-31)
Overview
The MC-31 is a
battery-operated contact
sensor that monitors the
status of an interior window
or door and provides a reliable
and simple method to detect
occupancy at entry points. The
MC-31 can be configured to
monitor closed-to-open, and/
or open-to-closed transitions,
or the current state of the
device.
The sensor is well suited for
occupancy-based hospitality
applications that require control to power a room or setback temperature
control devices.
The MC-31incorporates features that assist the installer to position the
device without the need for signal strength indicators and configuration
tools.
This document covers installation, testing, and setup of all MC-31 models.
The product package includes the contact sensor, magnet, and battery.
Prepare for Installation
To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the
following guidelines:
• For indoor use only. Operating temperature -25°C to 65°C
(-13°F to 149°F), 5%–92% relative humidity (non-condensing).
• High density construction materials and large metal appliances or
fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.
• Install the sensor within range of linked receivers or controllers, 24 m
(80 ft) unobstructed view. Consider adding a repeater to extend the
wireless signal, if required.
Supplies required to install (not provided):
• Four #6 screws, double-sided tape, or Velcro
