GSAMCT430Photoelectric Smoke Detector

DE3643 1 MCT-430 Supervised Wireless PowerCode Smoke Detector Installation Instructions 1. INSTALLATION SUMMARY 1.1 General Description The MCT-430 is a low profile, battery operated, photoelectric smoke detector which shares its housing with a UHF PowerCode type transmitter. It has a 57°C (135°F) fixed temperature heat detector and a built-in sounder. The detector sends out the following messages to the control panel: • Smoke alarm • Heat alarm • Tamper alert • Low battery alert • Trouble message (when heat sensor malfunctions) • Service alert (degraded smoke detection sensitivity - internal screen requires cleaning). During normal and low battery conditions, the LED flashes approximately once every 40 seconds. The smoke/heat detector will sound its built-in temporal horn when smoke activates the detector (the LED flashes rapidly), or when the air temperature reaches 57°C (135°F). A message is also sent to the wireless control panel. After the horn stops, a RESTORE message is transmitted to the control panel and the ID number can be cleared from the panel. The built-in Drift Compensation algorithm automatically maintains the sensitivity of the detector. Once the detector reaches its limit of compensation, it transmits a maintenance signal to the panel. When maintenance is required, the LED stops flashing. The maintenance signal fully complies with the sensitivity test requirement specified in NFPA 72, 7 - 2.2. Figure 1. General View 1.2 Power Up and Initial Test The smoke detector is supplied with two 3V batteries seated within their holder but insulated from the battery terminals. A. Turn the detector upside down and pull out the paper tab that insulates the batteries from one of the terminals. B. Insert a sharp object into the test switch hole and push the switch in continuously, until the built-in horn sounds (about 2.5 seconds after depressing the button). The sounding sequence is: 3 beeps - short break - 3 beeps ......and so on until you release the switch. In addition, the LED will flash rapidly a few times. This means that the smoke detection section is working properly. 1.3 Enrolling Transmitter’s Power- Code ID The detector includes a tamper switch that causes a tamper alert when the main body is separated from its mounting bracket. This switch protects the unit against unauthorized handling. The detector has two separate PowerCode IDs: • The first ID is linked to messages containing alarm, low battery and supervision data. • The second ID is linked to messages containing tamper and maintenance data such as “clean” and circuit trouble. Enrolling process to the PowerMax is differennt from the enrolling process to other versions of the PowerMax (PowerMax+, PowerMax GSM....), as described in par. 1.3.1 and 1.3.2. 1.3.1 Enrolling to PowerMax Control Panel It is necessary that the control panel will learn the two IDs before the detector is actually mounted in place. This is best carried out in close proximity to the control panel. Each ID must be enrolled to a separate zone of the control panel. A. Refer to the control panel’s installation instructions and follow the procedure given there for enrolling transmitter IDs in the control panel's memory. 2nd. When required to initiate a transmission for enrollment of the first ID, activate the test switch (see fig. 1) until the built- in horn sounds (see Para. 1.2B). C. When you are instructed to initiate a transmission for enrollment of the second ID, separate the detector from the bracket to activate a tamper message. Important: If the second ID is not learnt by the control panel, the maintenance and tamper messages will not be received. Note: The PowerMax control panel can not distinguish between “clean” and circuit trouble data. Upon receiving a maintenance alert, clean the internal screen as described in Para. 5.2. If the maintenance alert persists, the trouble is probably due to a circuit failure. 1.3.2 Enrolling to Other Versions of PowerMax (PowerMax+, PowerMax GSM...) To enroll the transmitters IDs to the PowerMax+, PowerMax GSM and above, it is necessary to enrol only one ID, the first ID or the second ID (for IDs description refer to par. 1.3). When either ID is enrolled to one zone, the second ID is automatically enrolled. The enrolling process is as follows: A. Refer to the control panel’s installation instructions and follow the procedure given there for enrolling transmitter IDs in the control panel's memory. 2nd. When you are instructed to initiate a transmission for enrollment of the ID, activate the test switch until the built-in horn sounds (see Para. 1.2B), or separate the detector from the bracket to activate a tamper message. 1.4 Mounting the Bracket in Place Read Section 4 in this manual first, then decide where to install the detector. Refer to Figure 2 and proceed according to the following instructions. 2 DE3643 Figure 2. Mounting Bracket 1st.If the detector is attached to the bracket, separate it from the bracket by holding the bracket in one hand and turning the detector slightly counterclockwise with your other hand. Note: Removal of the unit from the bracket will initiate a tamper alert! The LED will flash but the horn will remain silent. 2nd.Press the bracket against the mounting surface and mark the drilling spots through two mounting screw bays. C. Drill two 5 mm (3/16”) holes at the marked spots. D. Attach the bracket to the wall, using the two screws and plastic wall anchors (supplied). 1.5 Assembly and Test A. Align the marks on the detector’s body with the arrows on the bracket. Push the detector against the bracket and turn it slightly clockwise until it snaps into place. Pull outward to make sure that the detector is securely attached to the bracket. B. Press the test button until the built-in horn sounds. Verify that the transmitted signal has been received at the control panel, and that the control panel responds accordingly by activating the fire alarm siren or any other warning device. 2. MISCELL…

THE VISONIC LTD. POWERCODE SYSTEM A-1. The PowerCode Message Format The PowerCode message transmitted includes the detector's 24- bit ID and a status report (see Fig. A1). Figure A1. Transmitted Data A message includes the following data: • Detector's ID: Any message transmitted starts with the 24- bit ID assigned to the particular detector unit. • Tamper / Restore: Upon removal of the unit's front cover, a message will be transmitted with a "tamper marker" ON. If the unit's cover is put back, a message will be transmitted with the tamper marker OFF ("Tamper Restore"). • Alarm: Once the detector is in alarm, a message will be transmitted with an "alarm marker" ON. • Low Battery: A special battery condition marker is used to report the battery status in any message. The battery is tested once an hour and if found low, the "low battery marker" is set to ON in all following messages. • Supervision Message: A special "supervision message marker", when set to ON, identifies the periodic supervision messages transmitted automatically at 1 hour intervals. This marker will be OFF in all other messages. • Transmitter Type: A special marker indicates the type of the transmitter: ! Supervised or non-supervised ! Reports or does not report restorals after alarm • Checksum: Checksum bits at the end of the message allow the receiver to determine whether an incoming message is valid (error-free). This feature considerably upgrades the reliability of the wireless communication link. A-2. Anti-Collision To overcome message collisions at the receiving end, PowerCode transmitters transmit 3 data bursts at random intervals, with 6 repetitions of the same message in each burst (Fig. A2). This redundancy improves the probability of reception. Note: Periodic supervision messages are an exception to this rule - they consist of a single 6-message burst. Figure A2. Anti-Collision Transmission Sequence A 10 s plot, showing that transmitter stops transmitting in less than 5 s :
