MCT-340 SMA
Wireless Contact Sensor
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-340 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic contact sensor, for
use with iControl H.A. 1.2 control panels. The sensor includes a built-in
reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it).
The MCT-340 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
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 will be sent to the
receiver 30 days before expiration of battery life.

4. PAIRING/DEFAULTING THE SENSOR
To pair the sensor to the control panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
First set the panel to pairing mode and then the sensor.
1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch (see Figure 4-4).
2. Insert the battery into the sensor (see Figure 4-4).
3. Release the tamper switch within 4 seconds (the LED blinks 3 times
every 5 seconds).
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the control panel (see the pairing
instructions in the control panel’s installation guide).
5. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Personnel in
non-hazardous indoor locations only.
5.1 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 3).

1. Insert a “quarter” coin in the slot as shown in the drawing and push
downward firmly into the slot.
2. Twist to remove the cover.
3. Remove the old battery using a 3 mm flat-edged screwdriver.
4. Insert the battery at an angle, as shown in the drawing, while observing
battery polarity.
Note: The required battery is CR2032 Lithium 3V, manufactured by
VARTA or another UL recognized manufacturer, purchased from a
Visonic-approved supplier.
6. TESTING THE SENSOR
Close the door or window, thus restoring it to the undisturbed state.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-340 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
4
).
Make sure that the iControl panel
supports the H.A 1.2.
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 secur
ity level of your system.

FCC Compliance Statement
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 that supplies
power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

9. 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.
