is capable of “learning” each detector’s identification code
and linking it to a specific zone (see Section 3 in the
Programming Manual). Some units are shown below:

or K-940 MCW  

MC PIR-2000 & MC PIR-3000 are not UL-listed!
Note: K-940 MCW and K-980MCW are pet immune units.
In addition to its unique 24-bit identification code, each

detector transmits a message, containing status information:
 •   The detector is in alarm (or not).
 •   The detector is being tampered with (or not).
 •   The battery voltage is low (or normal).
 •   “This is a supervisory message”.
If any of these detectors detects motion, it sends out a

message to the alarm control panel. If the system is in the

armed state, an alarm will be triggered.
B. Magnetic Contact Transmitter

MCT-302 (Figure 17) is a PowerCode

magnetic-contact transmitter used to

detect the opening of a door or a window.

The alarm contacts are closed as

 

long as

the door or window remain

 

closed.

The unit has an extra alarm input that acts as if it were a

separate wireless transmitter. It sends (or does not send)

a “restored to normal“ message to the alarm system,

depending on the setting of an on-board “DIP” switch. The

“restore” message informs you, through the control panel’s

display, whether the door or window is open or closed.
C. MCT-100 Wireless Adapter for Wired Detectors
(not UL-Listed) MCT-100 (Fig. 18) is a

PowerCode device used mainly as a

wireless adapter for 2 regular magnetic

switches installed on 2 windows in the

same room. It has two inputs, behaving as

separate wireless transmitters with

different PowerCode IDs. Each input

sends (or does not send) a “restored“

message to the alarm system, depending

on the setting of an on-board “DIP” switch.  

D. Wireless Smoke Detector

MCT-423 (not UL-listed).  A

photoelectric smoke detector

equipped with a PowerCode-type

transmitter. If enrolled to a fire

zone, it initiates a fire alarm upon

detection of smoke.

E. Glass Break Detector MCT-501
(not UL-Listed).

 An acoustic detector (Fig.

20) equipped with a PowerCode-type
transmitter. Since it restores automatically
after detection, this unit does not send a
restoral message to the control panel.

3.9 PowerMax-Compatible Transmitters

Note: Each transmitter is packed with its own instructions
for battery installation and use. Be sure to pass these
documents on to the “Master User“ of the alarm system.
The PowerMax system is compatible with multi-button and

single button key-ring and hand-held transmitters that use
PowerCode and CodeSecure coding methods.
Multi-button PowerCode transmitters transmit the same
code each time the same button is pressed. They can be
used for emergency signaling, or for activating the PGM
output or for controlling appliances via X-10 units. They
can not be used for arming / disarming.
CodeSecure transmitters are of the rolling code type - they
transmit a new code each time the same button is
pressed. This provides a higher security level, especially
in arming / disarming applications, because the code can
not be copied (“grabbed”) by unauthorized people.
Following are the basic details of several compatible

transmitters. The possible applications for each push-

button are indicated in each drawing.
A. MCT-234 (Fig 21): ‘Keyfob’

transmitter - one unit is
supplied with the PowerMax.
You can program the AUX
(auxiliary) button to perform
various tasks, in accordance
with the user’s needs.

B. MCT-231 / 201* (Fig. 22):

Single-button pendant units.

The MCT-231 (Code-

Secure) and the MCT-201

(PowerCode) can be enrolled

to perform functions as

shown. Both units look alike.

C. MCT-134 / 104* (Fig.

 

23):

4-button hand-held units.

MCT-134 (CodeSecure) can

replace the MCT-234 keyfob.

MCT-104 (PowerCode) can

perform emergency and non-

alarm functions. Both units

look alike.

D. MCT-132 / 102* (Fig. 24):

2-button units. MCT-132
(CodeSecure) Can perform
functions as shown.

 

MCT-102

(PowerCode) can perform
emergency and non-alarm
tasks. Both units look alike.

E. MCT-131 / 101* (Fig. 25):

Single-button units. The
MCT-131 (CodeSecure) and
the MCT-101 (PowerCode)
can be enrolled to perform
functions as shown. Both
units look alike.

F. MCT-211* (Fig. 26) Water-

proof,

 

wrist-worn PowerCode

transmitter. Can be enrolled
to perform emergency or
non-alarm functions.

3.10 Mounting the RS232 Module

The control panel can be equipped with an optional RS232
module for serial data interchange with a local computer. If
this module is not supplied, a special plastic cap blocks the
niche designed to accommodate the module.
The following instructions are useful when adding the
