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.

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.

4.3 Adding Devices
Devices whose message transmissions need to be repeated by
the repeater must be enrolled both to the repeater and to the
control panel. 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
Strong
Good
Poor
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.

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.
