DE36421 MCT MCTMCT MCT-425 -425-425 -425 Supervised Wireless PowerCode Smoke Detector Installation Instructions 1. DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS The MCT-425 is photoelectric smoke detector designed to sense smoke, but not gas, heat or flame and fitted with a Power- Code-type UHF transmitter. It provides early warning of developing fire by sounding an alarm with its built-in alarm horn, and by transmitting a coded alarm signal to a PowerCode receiver or to a compatible wireless alarm control panel. It must be borne in mind, though, that effective pre-warning of fire accidents is only possible if the detector is located, installed and maintained properly as described in this manual. WARNING: This smoke detector is designed for use in a single residential unit only, which means that it should be used inside a single family home or apartment. It is not meant to be used in lobbies, hallways, basements or another apartment in multi-family buildings, unless there are already working detectors in each family unit. Smoke detectors, placed in common areas outside the individual living unit, such as on porches or in hallways, may not provide early warning to residents. In multi-family buildings, each family living unit should obtain its own detector. WARNING: This detector is not meant to be used in non-residential buildings. Warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings and special purpose non- residential buildings require special fire detection and alarm systems. This detector alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection systems for places where many people live or work, such as hotels or motels. The same is true of dormitories, hospitals, nursing homes or group homes of any kind, even if they were Figure 1. General View once single family homes. Please refer to NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, NFPA71, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D and 72E for smoke detector requirements for fire protection in buildings not defined as "households". WARNING: This detector, if used as a stand-alone unit, will not alert people who are hard of hearing. 2 22 2. INSTALLATION SUMMARY . INSTALLATION SUMMARY. INSTALLATION SUMMARY . INSTALLATION SUMMARY 2.1 Disassembly Separate the unit from its mounting bracket as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Separating the MCT-425 from its Bracket 2.2 Setting the Function Switch The MCT-425 has a 4-position DIP switch function selector (see Figure 3). The switch levers are numbered 1 to 4, and each switch allows you to select one of two options. Set the function switches as desired. The ON position is indicated on the switch body. Table 1. Function selector settings Sw-MarkingPos.Selected OptionDefault SW-1 LEDON OFF LED will light upon transmission LED is disabled ON SW-2 RSTON OFF “Restore” events reported “Restore” events not reported ON SW-3 TRRON OFF Do not use! Always OFF OFF SW-4 BATON OFF Do not use! Alkaline or Lithium battery is being used OFF Battery cover Figure 3. Function Selector and Battery Cover 2.3 Definitions of LED Light and Buzzer The red and yellow LED light and buzzer turn on and/or off to indicate various situations. There are several LED light and buzzer operations. A.When the red LED flashes every 30 seconds, this means power on, i.e., the detector is energized. B.When the red LED flashes and the buzzer beeps intermittently, this means alarm for potential smoke hazard. C.When the red LED flashes together with buzzer beeps for every 30 seconds with temporal tone 0.5 second on and 0.5 second off intermittently, this means battery power is low. D.The yellow LED turns on every time an RF signal is transmitted to the control panel. 2.4 Battery Connection and Initial Test CAUTION: The MCT-425 is fitted with cover latches that will prevent the cover from closing if there is no battery inside. The smoke detector is supplied with a 9V battery seated within its holder but insulated from the battery terminals. BRACKETDETECTOR ❷ Rotate Unit Counter- Clockwise ❶ Seize Bracket ❸ Pull Away From Bracket Test Button TAMPER 2DE3642 A.Connect the snap-on battery clip to the battery terminals. The clip will not fit if the contacts are reversed, but take care not to make a prolonged reverse contact - the battery will discharge rapidly through the built in protection diode! Note: When the battery first makes contact, the alarm horn may sound for one second. This indicates that the battery is connected properly. B.Push the battery firmly in until it is seated tightly within the holder, with the snap-on clip pressed against the contact springs. C.Close the cover, then press the test button for about 5 seconds until the horn sounds two sequences of a loud 3-beep alarm. This means that the smoke detection section is working properly. 2.5 Resetting the Transmitter Module and Enrolling its PowerCode ID A rear tamper protection switch is mounted under the PC board. The tamper switch actuator, extending through a hole in the base (see Figure 4), is pressed against the bracket when the unit is attached to the bracket. Removal of the unit from the bracket will cause the switch contacts to open, creating a tamper event, which will be reported by the transmitter to the control panel. Battery cover Figure 4. Rear Tamper Refer to the control panel’s installation instructions and follow the procedure given there for enrolling transmitter IDs in the control panel's memory. When required to initiate a transmission for enrollment, press the smoke detector’s test button until the built-in horn sounds, or press the tamper switch. Note: It is much easier to carry out this operation while holding the MCT-425 in your hand, close to the control panel. 2.6 Mounting the Bracket in Place Read Section 4 in this manual first, then decide where to install a detector. Refer to Figures 5 and 6 and proceed as follows: Figure 5. Aligning the Bracket Figure 6. Mounting the Bracket A . At the location where you intend to install the detector, draw a horizontal line six inches long. B . Remove the mounting bracke…
