INTRODUCTION1.1 Description The MCT-237 is a miniature CodeSecure™ 6-button keyfob transmitter, designed for use with the PowerMax Pro unit. The device enables the user to arm/disarm the alarm system and to view system status. For each PowerMax Pro control panel, a maximum of eight MCT-237 keyfob devices may be enrolled. Operating power is obtained from an internal 1.5 V alkaline battery. Each transmitter is supplied with a small keyring. Transmission is initiated by pressing any one of the six pushbuttons. Upon pressing a specific button, the keyfob transmits a CodeSecure™ digital sequence identifiable by the PowerMax unit, and a 4-bit function code associated with the button that was pressed. The next time a button is pressed, the keyfob will transmit a digital sequence of three transmissions that differs from the one used in the previous transmission and the respective function code. As a result, malicious “code grabbing” is virtually impossible. The main features of the MCT-237 are: • Status, alarm memory, and trouble data retrieval from PowerMax Pro. • Visual indications by LCD icon display. • LCD backlighting activation. • Various audible signals sounded by the speaker in response to specific actions. • 1.5 Volt Alkaline battery. 1.2 LCD Icons The following table provides definitions for each of the eight icons that appear on the LCD display. Icon Definition Lights when the system is in Arm Home mode Lights when the system is in Arm Away mode Lights when the system is disarmed Partition: Not available in this version Icon Definition Trouble: Indicates a trouble state is detected within the PowerMax Pro. Low Battery: Indicates the battery must be replaced without delay. In addition, a “low battery” report will be transmitted with the outgoing digital message. Communication: Indicates a communication failure Alarm: Indicates that the alarm has been activated PANIC(Press both buttonssimultaneously for 2 seconds)ARMHOMEAUX ADISARMSTATUSAUX B Figure 1.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE3.1 Testing a New Unit Since the keyfob transmitter is supplied with the battery already installed, the unit is practically ready to be tested. IMPORTANT! Before testing, "teach" the PowerMax Pro the ID code of the keyfob, as instructed in the PowerMax Pro Installer Guide. A. Stand near the PowerMax Pro control panel and press the keyfob button marked with a closed padlock icon. B. Make sure that the control panel responds as programmed and as stated in the PowerMax Pro Installer Guide. C. Operate the keyfob from various locations within the area covered by the receiver to determine "dead" locations, where transmission is blocked by walls and large objects, or affected by structural materials. For optimum operation, point the keyfob directly toward the PowerMax Pro control panel. Note: If dead/marginal zones are a problem, relocating the PowerMax Pro control panel may improve the performance. 3.2 Replacing the Battery Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. The battery should be replaced upon receiving a low battery LCD indication. A replacement 1.5 V AAA alkaline battery, such as GP (or equivalent), should be used. Replace the battery as follows:
