D-302722 1 MCX-610 Wireless Repeater for PowerCode Communications Installation Instructions 1. INTRODUCTION The MCX-610 is a range extender designed to relay digital data between wireless devices and a control panel. Repeater links are required when the control panel is beyond the range of at least some of the devices and is therefore incapable of receiving transmissions directly (see Figure 1). Devices whose message transmissions need to be repeated by the repeater must be enrolled to the repeater and to the control panel. Features Supports 1way and 2way keyfob and detector devices Mains powered 36 hours backup battery (rechargeable) Front and back tamper protected Enrolment and test buttons Diagnostic of installation performance Power fail indication (greed LED) Activity (RF) indication (blue LED) Compatible with PowerMaxExpress PowerMaxComplete PowerMaxPro, PowerMax+ and PowerMax1 versions Indoor environment Note: MCX-610 does not support wireless sirens and repeater chains.

2 D-302722 4. INSTALLATION 4.1 Repeater's Location Selection A. Install the repeater where good communication is assured with the PowerMax panel or alternative target receiver and with the transmitters deployed in the repeater's coverage area B. Make sure the repeater is mounted as high as possible above the floor and well away from metal chimneys, large metal cabinets, metal doors and reinforced concrete walls, all of which may reduce the communication range. C. Make sure that the location you have selected is near an electrical outlet. D. Mount the repeater in the selected location as shown in Figure 3. 4.2 Battery Pack Insertion Note: The rechargeable backup battery must be connected before connecting to AC mains power. If the backup battery is not connected or if a low battery condition exists when the cover is opened the repeater will beep every 10 seconds. Note: Battery replacement should be done by a service man.

A total of 50 devices may be enrolled to the MCX-610. Follow the instructions below for enrolling a device. A. Remove the MCX-610 cover. B. Press the repeater’s enroll button and release it (see Figure 2); the orange LED blinks for 10 sec. Note: Do not press the enroll button for longer than 3 sec. C. Initiate transmission from the device to be enrolled within 10 seconds. In response, the green LED will light and a "happy" beep will sound to indicate successful enrollment of the device. Note: For enrollment verification, the blue LED will blink when the device is activated. D. Repeat steps A to C for enrolling additional devices. Notes: i) If the device was already enrolled in the MCX-610 and the enroll procedure is performed again for the same device to the same MCX-610, the red LED will light and a "sad" failure beep will sound. ii) In the event that enrollment is performed after 50 devices have already been enrolled, the green LED does not light and a "sad" failure beep will sound. iii) If no transmission has been initiated for more than 10 seconds, the orange LED will extinguish and a double beep will sound. iv) Device enrollment cannot be used to link repeaters. 4.4 Deleting Devices Caution! Deleting devices procedure must be performed without the cover.
D-302722 3 The procedure for deleting devices enrolled to the repeater is performed for all the devices collectively. It is not possible to clear a specific device from the MCX-610 memory. A. Remove the MCX-610 cover. B. Press the repeater’s enroll button continuously. In response, the following successive stages should be observed: i) The orange LED blinks and the buzzer beeps at a slow rate (3 sec.). ii) The red LED blinks and the buzzer beeps at a slow rate (12 sec.). iii) The red LED blinks and the buzzer beeps at a fast rate (5 sec.). At the end of the procedure, the red LED will light steadily for 3 sec. and a "happy" beep will sound to indicate successful deletion of all devices 4.5 Local Diagnostics Test This function allows you to test the signal strength of the enrolled devices as seen by the repeater. Before testing, separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 3). Caution! Local diagnostic test procedure must be performed without the cover. Press the repeater’s test button for 5 seconds; the green LED blinks for 10 minutes or until the tamper switch is restored. Three reception levels are sensed and indicated as illustrated in the table below. Received Signal Strength Indication: Reception Buzzer Response Strong Happy Tune twice ( - - - –––– ) ( - - - ––––) Good Happy Tune ( - - - –––– ) Poor Sad tune ( –––––––– ) IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is received. 4.6 Cover Closure See figure 4. 12 Figure 4 - Cover Closure 5. NOTES AND WARNINGS 5.1 Product Limitations Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However there are some limitations to be considered: A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies B. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults. 5.2 Compliance with Standards Interference Prevention This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference that may be received or that may cause undesired operation. 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. The digital circuitry of 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 which supplies power to the receiver. – Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. This device complies with the essential requirements and provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio and telecommunications terminal equipment.
