MC-302EL PG2
Two-way Wireless Magnetic Contact Device with
Hard-wired Input
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MC-302EL PG2 is a two-way wireless PowerG magnetic contact device that is compatible with
PowerMaster control panels, version X and above. The device includes a built-in reed switch (that
opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it) and an auxiliary hard-wired input, programmable as
either N.O., N.C. or E.O.L., for use with additional sensors – pushbuttons detectors, door contacts,
etc.
The MC-302EL PG2 can be configured through the PowerMaster control panel to allow the installer to
disable the magnet-operated reed switch if only the auxiliary input is needed. The reed switch and the
auxiliary input behave as separate transmitters, although they trigger the same RF transmitter. The
MC-302EL PG2 sends the parameters of the specific alarm to the control panel using PowerG two-
way communications protocol.
The MC-302EL PG2 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The control panel is thus informed, at
regular intervals, of the unit’s active participation in the system.
An LED lights whenever alarm or tamper events are reported. The LED does not light while a
supervision message is being transmitted.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a
“low battery” message is sent to the receiver.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Mounting (Fig. 3a and 3b)
It is highly recommended to attach the transmitter 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 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the transmitter’s marked side.
Note: Once the cover is removed, a tamper message is transmitted to the receiver. Subsequent removal of the battery prevents
transmission of "TAMPER RESTORE", leaving the receiver in permanent alert. To avoid this, press the tamper switch while you remove
the battery.
Caution!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used battery according to manufacturer's instructions.
Attention! The unit has a back tamper switch (optional) under the PCB. As long as the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the switch
lever will be pressed against a special break-away base segment that is loosely connected to the base (Figures 2 and 3a). Be sure to
fasten the break-away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the
base, causing the tamper switch to open.

WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure
compliance requirements, the magnet contact device should be
located in a distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during
normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not
be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
1. Insert a flat-edged screwdriver into
the slot and push upward to
remove cover.
2. Remove screw
3. Separate base from cover.
4. Flex catch and remove P.C. board
5. Mark & drill 2 holes in mounting

2.2 Auxiliary Input Wiring (Fig. 4)
A. Connect the auxiliary sensor contacts across the MC-302EL PG2
auxiliary input terminals.
B. If the auxiliary input of the MC-302EL PG2is defined as a Normally
Closed (N.C.) type, series connected N.C. sensor contacts must be
used exclusively. An E.O.L. resistor will not be required.
Figure 4. E.O.L. Wiring Example
C. If the auxiliary input of the MC-302EL PG2is defined as a Normally Open (N.O.) type, parallel connected N.O. sensor contacts must
be used exclusively. An E.O.L. resistor will not be required.
D. For E.O.L. supervision:
Normally Closed (N.C.) sensor contacts can be used, as shown in Figure 4. A 47k E.O.L. resistor must be wired at the far end of the
zone loop.
Note: For UL installations, the device connected to the initiating circuit must be located in the same room as the transmitter.
The drawing below illustrates a N.O. and N.C. alarm circuit with E.O.L. resistor.
Note: An alarm message is transmitted once the loop is opened or short circuited.

3. LOCAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST
Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 3a).
A. Press the tamper switch once and release it.
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal (undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the base with
the case closure screw.
C. Momentarily open the door or window and verify the red LED blinks, indicating detection.
D. After 2 seconds the LED blinks 3 times.
The following table indicates received signal strength indication.
LED response Reception
Green LED blinks Strong
Orange LED blinks Good
Red LED blinks Poor
No blinks No communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from
the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received.
Note: For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
4. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to low transmitting power and limited
range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be considered:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the digital code used.
B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at a time.
C. Wireless devices should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.
The user is cautioned that changes or modifications to the unit, not expressly approved by Visonic Ltd., could void the user’s
FCC or other authority to operate the equipment.
The digital circuitry of this device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is
encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one which supplies power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
