1. INSTRODUCTION
The MCM-140 is a wireless remote control unit for the PowerMax
system. It enables the user to arm/disarm the alarm system, to
initiate emergency/fire/panic alarms, to perform one of the AUX
(auxiliary) functions (see Note 3 in Section 6) and to turn lighting
devices on and off. The keypad includes an RF transmitter that
sends out a differently coded RF signal for each command.
The main features of the MCM-140 are:
• Automatic reporting of low battery voltage.
• Visual indications by red/green/amber LED.
• Keypad back lighting (selectable)
• Various audible signals sounded by the buzzer in response to
specific actions.
• Automatic supervision messages at 60 minute intervals.
• Long-life 3 VDC lithium battery.
• Wall mounting option.
• Friendly programming.
The red LED lights during transmission. The amber LED lights
during the programming process (and during transmission if
battery voltage is low). The green LED lights upon each
keystroke.

4.1 Programming Scope
The following programming actions are possible:
• Setting the master user (user #1) code.
• Setting other user codes (users #2-8).
• Allowing/forbidding quick arming of the keypad.
• Muting/reactivating the keypad's buzzer.
• Controlling the keypad's back-lighting.
• Enabling/disabling the supervision/low battery reporting from
the MCM-140.
4.2 Entering the Programming Mode
The programming mode is accessible with the master code only
(1 1 1 1 by default). The "#" key is used to enter and also to exit
the programming mode.
Entering the Programming Mode
Action LED indication Buzzer response

(1111 by default)
Amber LED blinks slowly

(success melody)
* Upon entering the programming mode, the success melody is
heard and the amber LED starts blinking. Blinking will stop
once you exit from this mode (by pressing "#" again) or upon
time out during which no key is pressed. 2 short beeps are
heard when the LED stops blinking.
4.3 Changing Master/User Codes
To change the MCM-140 master and user codes, enter the
programming mode (Par. 4.2) and proceed as follows:
Action LED indication Buzzer response
+[1-8]1 Amber LED blinks
+[new code]2 Amber LED blinks quickly -
(blinks slowly after success)
(success melody)
Notes
1. Enter user No. (1-8). User No. 1 is defined as the master user.
2. Master/user codes consist of 4-digits. Code "0000" is not
valid. It can be used to erase the currently programmed code
(when this action is performed, success melody is heard).
3. PowerMax user codes and MCM-140 user codes are different
codes.
4.4 Restoring the Default Master Code
If the master code is forgotten, it is possible to recall the factory
default master code "1111". To ensure that this possibility is
not misused by unauthorized people, a panic alarm is
automatically transmitted to the PowerMax system when
such an action is performed.
To recall the default master code and prevent a panic alarm, set
PowerMax to User Settings mode (see PowerMax Prog. Guide,
Par. 1.2) and proceed as shown in the following illustration:
4.5 Special Programming Options
Enter the programming mode (Par. 4.2) and proceed as follows:
Desired function Press and then press:
Quick arming 9 1
Buzzer control 9 2 +AWAY to enable (amber LED
lights)
Back lighting 9 3 +OFF to disable (amber LED blinks).
Supervision / low
battery reporting

to indicate success.
Notes: The supervision message will be sent once an hour.
When there is Low Bat condition, trouble message will be
displayed in the zone that was selected for the FIRE key.

A dark box will appear at the far right, indicating that the
chosen function has been enrolled.
Note: If the same function is already enrolled elsewhere, the
“Happy Tune” will sound twice in succession.
5.2 Enrolling PowerCode Functions
The following MCM-140 PowerCode control functions can be
enrolled:
• Lights No. 1-7
• Light No. 8 (controlled by PGM, "on by zones")
• Fire
• Emergency
To enroll these functions, proceed as follows:

a transmission from the chosen wireless device:
TRANSMIT NOW
G. Initiate transmission from the MCM-140 by pressing the
LIGHT key followed by pressing "1" (for electrical device #1).

until the RED LED lights and “Happy Tune” (- - - ––– ) sounds.
Notes
1. There is no need to teach the keypad PANIC function for the
PowerMax - it will be automatically performed.
2. Define the zones that are enrolled for the 1-8 lights as non-
alarm zones, to prevent an alarm display when a light is
turned on.

can be done by user No. 8, by using code numbers 5-8 of the
MCM-140.
5. Pressing a non-valid code combination (not master / user
code) causes a long failure beep.
6. If a keying sequence is not completed within timeout, the
desired function will not be executed.
7. Pressing the Emergency, Fire or Panic buttons, causes the
red and green LEDs to blink alternately for 2 seconds to alert
the user. The red LED lights during transmission.
8. If arming Home or arming AWAY command is used with an
invalid user code, the command will not be performed. To
enter the arming HOME/AWAY command again, you should
press the HOME/AWAY key twice and then enter the valid
user code.
