If the MCT-441 was enrolled to PowerMax or PowerMax+ revision 
2.9 and down, you have to cause the detector not to send AC failure 
messages, as follows: 
Continuously press the Test/Silent button for 10 seconds 
approximately, until a long beep (2 seconds) is heard. This beep 
indicates that the detector will not to send AC failure messages. To 
return to AC failure reporting capability, repeat the above action. 
4. PREPARATION FOR USE 
4.1 The LED Functions 
Once the unit is plugged into the wall outlet, the green power indicator 
flashes indicating that power is present and the unit is working. After an 
initial ten minute warm-up period, the unit will start the process of 
continually sampling the air around it. 
Table 1. LED functions 
LED Function 
Green
 
Flashing: During the first ten minutes (after power 
connection) the green LED flashes (stabilization time). 
Constant light: The equipment is ready for operation: "Power ON". 
Orange  Illuminates in the event of trouble and emits a lengthy buzzer sound.
Red 
(alarm) 
Flashes and a supplementary acoustic signal generator 
(transducer) sounds intermittently in the event of an alarm. 
4.2 Test Button and Muting Switch 
Press down on the Test / Silent button (see Figure 2) to test the 
operation of the indicators. The red and orange LEDs will flash and an 
acoustic signal tone will sound intermittently. This action should be 
performed once a week. Use the Test / Silent button (see Figure 2) to 
switch off the acoustic alarm tone in the event of an alarm. The red 
LED will continue to flash and a short signal tone will sound 
approximately every 45 seconds. 
Note: Do not test the MCT-441 using a gas lighter. 
Note: In the event of a gas leakage, the smell of the gas may be in 
the air before the detector activates the alarm. 
5. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS 
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. 
D.  It is recommended to unplug the detector from the electricity 
mains before cleaning. Clean only using a dry cloth. Do not clean 
using a liquid substance. Clean externally only. 
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.

1. INTRODUCCIÓN
MCT-441 es un detector de gas completamente supervisado muy 
facil de instalar, el cual protege espacios interiores.
 
El MCT-441 es un detector de gas natural diseñado para enviar 
alarmas al detectar gas Metano. Estos detectores pueden usarse en 
apartamentos, caravanas, barcos o yates. 
Los detectores se alimentan con la red, con 220 VAC. Una pila interna 
de Litio sirve para informar de un fallo de corriente sólo (no alimenta el 
detector).  
El detector puede enviar los siguientes mensajes al panel de control del 
sistema de: Alarma de Gas, fallo del sensor de gas, fallo de corriente y 
batería baja. 
MCT-441 están diseñados para su montaje en pared y deberían 
colocarse en un lugar donde haya presencia de gas, por ejemplo donde 
pueda haber fugas. 
En caso de detección, emite un zumbido y el transmisor integrado 
transmite un mensaje digital,
 
compuesto del PowerCode ID del  
detector seguido de mensajes de estado.
 
Las alarmas y otros datos 
son, por tanto, remitidos al sistema de alarma. Un mensaje periódico de 
supervisión se transmite automáticamente (ver especificaciones) para 
informar al sistema de alarma de la participación activa de la unidad en 
el sistema. 
Los detectores de gas MCT-441 tienen un código ID de 24 bits, 
seleccionado aleatoriamente desde fábrica de entre más de 16 millones 
de combinaciones posibles. Este código es, por tanto, único y 
virtualmente imposible de reproducir. 
Los receptores PowerCode compatibles se diseñan para “aprender” 
los específicos y responder solamente a ellos.
