MCT-370 SMA
Door / Window Sensor
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT-370 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic door / window sensor, for use
with ZigBee enabled home security panels. The sensor includes a built-in reed switch
that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it.
The MCT-370 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 60 days before
expiration of battery life (for operation in room temperature).

3. ACTIVATING AND PAIRING THE SENSOR
To pair the sensor to the security panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
1. Set the panel to pairing mode.
2. To activate pairing mode on the sensor, pull the activation strip from the back of the
sensor (Figure 2).
3. The LED blinks 3 times every 5 seconds (repeated for up to 20 times) to indicate that
the sensor is searching for a security panel.
Note: : If the sensor pairing is not successful during the searching process, restart it
by tripping the reed switch or tamper switch of the door window sensor.
4. Complete the pairing procedure on the security panel. (See the pairing instructions
in the security panel installation guide.)
Note: Pairing should be done before installation.
4. INSTALLATION AND SENSOR TESTING
CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Personnel in non-
hazardous indoor locations only.
4.1 Mounting
NOTE: It is highly recommended to attach the door / window sensor 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 sensor’s
marked side.
The sensor should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on the moving
surface (see Figure 3b).
1. Peel away the release liners from the
two strips of double-sided adhesive
tape and attach to the device and
magnet (see Figure 3a).
OR
Secure the device using the screws
provided.
a. Remove the cover by inserting a
screw driver in the opening and
pulling up. (see Figure 2).
b. Attach the mounting plate to the
sensor with the two screws
provided.
c. Place the cover onto the unit
with the mounting plate installed.
Make sure the tabs clear the
cover, and then slide the cover
onto the mounting plate.
2. Align the device with the magnet
according to the location marks and
fasten the device and magnet to the
mounting surface. The sensor should
be mounted on the fixed surface and
magnet on the moving surface (see
Figure 3b).
4.2 Magnet Mounting
The magnet can be mounted with adhesive tape or screws. To mount the magnet with
adhesive tape, it is optional to use one or two spacers (see Figure 4).
To mount the magnet with screws, always use one spacer (see Figure 5).
1. Fasten the spacer to the mounting surface with two screws.
2. Locate the magnet on the spacer at the correct direction and push it
upward.
4.2 Sensor Testing
1. Open and close the door or window and confirm the status is properly updated on
the security panel.
2. Perform the signal strength testing procedure to make sure the device has a good
signal. This procedure is described in the security panel installation manual.

5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Fig. 4a – Opening Battery Cover
Fig. 4b –Replacing Battery
1. Press down on the battery cover and slide in the direction shown to open it
(see Figure 4a).
2. Lift the battery from the compartment.
3. Insert the new battery into the sensor while observing battery polarity (see Figure
4b).
4. Close the battery cover.
Note: The required battery is CR2 Lithium 3V, manufactured by Panasonic.
Caution! There is risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose
of used battery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
6. DEFAULTING THE SENSOR
CAUTION! The defaulting process removes the device from the network and enables
re-pairing.
Open the battery cover and pull back the clip to remove the battery (see Figure 4).
1. Press and hold down the sensor’s tamper switch (see Figure 4b).
2. Insert the battery into the sensor while observing battery polarity (see Figure 4b).
3. Release the tamper switch within 4 seconds. The LED will blink 3 times every 5
seconds to indicate successful default.
4. To re-pair the sensor, follow the instructions in section 3.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-370, do 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 7).
Make sure the security panel supports the MCT-370.
The sensor and the panel do
not communicate.
Perform the signal strength testing procedure
described in the security 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 (see section 5).
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 security panel user
manual). Note that disabling a sensor zone lowers the
overall security level of your system.

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.
