MCT-320 SMA
Wireless Contact Sensor
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-320 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor,
for use with iControl control panels. The sensor includes a built-in
reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it).
The MCT-320 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed or
when the detector is removed from the wall.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The target
receiver is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s active participation
in the system.
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.

3. PAIRING/DEFAULTING THE SENSOR
To pair the sensor to the control panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch.
2. Insert the battery into the sensor.
3. Release the tamper switch and press it again within 4 seconds.
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel (see the pairing
instructions in the control panel’s installation guide).

4. MOUNTING
NOTE: 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.
The transmitter should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on the moving surface (see Figure 1).

5. TESTING THE SENSOR
Close the door or window, thus restoring it to the undisturbed state.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-320
SMA, perform the suggested remedy:
Problem Remedy
Attempt to pair the sensor is
unsuccessful. Make sure that the sensor has
been defaulted and is set to
pairing mode (see section 3).
The sensor and the panel do
not communicate. Perform the signal strength
testing procedure described in
the control panel installation
manual. Make sure that the
signal is sufficient. If
necessary, replace the
sensor’s battery.
Problem Remedy
The sensor sends a Low
Battery indication. To ensure continuous proper
operation, replace the battery
within two weeks of the first
Low Battery indication.
Panel does not arm because of
an unrecognized sensor
malfunction
Consult with your installer or
system provider before you
disable a zone.
Disable the detector zone (see
the control panel user manual).
Note that disabling a sensor
zone lowers the overall
security level of your system.
7. PRODUCT LIMITATIONS
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.
