Programming Manual). Some units are shown below:

MC PIR-2000 & MC PIR-3000 are not UL-listed!
Note: K-940 MCW and K-980MCW are pet immune units.
In addition to its unique 24-bit identification code, each
detector transmits a
information:
• The detector is in alarm (or not).
• The detector is being tampered with (or not).
• The battery voltage is low (or normal).
• "This is a supervisory message".
If any of these detectors detects motion, it sends out a
message to the alarm control panel. If the system is in the
armed state, an alarm will be triggered.
B. Magnetic Contact Transmitter
MCT-302 (Figure 17) is a PowerCode
magnetic-contact transmitter
detect the opening of a door or a window.
The alarm contacts are closed as long as
the door or window remain closed.
The unit has an extra alarm input that acts as if it were a
separate wireless transmitter. It sends (or does not send) a
"restored to normal" message to the alarm system,
depending on the setting of an on-board "DIP" switch. The
"restore" message informs you, through the control panel's
display, whether the door or window is open or closed.
C. MCT-100 Wireless Adapter for Wired Detectors
(not UL-Listed) MCT-100 (Fig. 18) is a
PowerCode device used mainly as a
wireless adapter for 2 regular magnetic
switches installed on 2 windows in the
same room. It has two inputs, behaving as
separate wireless
different PowerCode IDs. Each input
sends (or does not send) a "restored"
message to the alarm system, depending
on the setting of an on-board "DIP" switch.
D. Wireless Smoke Detector
MCT-423 (not UL-listed). A
photoelectric smoke
equipped with a PowerCode-type
transmitter. If enrolled to a fire
zone, it initiates a fire alarm upon
detection of smoke.
E. Glass Break Detector MCT-501
(not UL-Listed). An acoustic detector (Fig.
20) equipped with a PowerCode-type
transmitter. Since it restores automatically
after detection, this unit does not send a
restoral message to the control panel.

PowerCode and CodeSecure coding methods.
Multi-button PowerCode transmitters transmit the same
code each time the same button is pressed. They can be
used for emergency signaling, or for activating the PGM
output or for controlling appliances via X-10 units. They
can not be used for arming / disarming.
CodeSecure transmitters are of the rolling code type - they
transmit a new code each time the same button is pressed.
This provides a higher security level, especially in arming /
disarming applications, because the code can not be
copied ("grabbed") by unauthorized people.
Following are the basic details of several compatible
transmitters. The possible applications for each push-
button are indicated in each drawing.

3.10 Mounting the RS232 Module

The control panel can be equipped with an optional RS232
module for serial data interchange with a local computer. If
this module is not supplied, a special plastic cap blocks the
niche designed to accommodate the module.
The following instructions are useful when adding the
RS232 module to an already installed PowerMax system:
