1. General
 
The MCT-560 is a fully supervised wireless PowerCode detector used 
with the PowerMax Pro (Ver. 5), PowerMax COMPLETE, and Amber 
alarm systems. The detector alerts the alarm system control panel upon 
detecting critical indoor or outdoor temperatures. The detector 
generates an alarm message when its sensor detects that the 
temperature has reached a certain temperature point. A restore 
message is generated when it crosses back the threshold temperature 
point. There are a total of four fixed temperature points and the user can 
enable one or more temperature point. The MCT-560 can be used in 
instances where temperature detection is critical. 
Other examples of detector usage are as follows: 
  Activating and deactivating pipe heaters at locations where low 
temperatures may causes the water in pipes to freeze. 
  Warn of possible electrical device malfunction due to high or low 
temperature levels.  
  Alerting elderly people of a significant rise or drop in room temperature. 
The MCT-560 detects both indoor and outdoor temperatures. The detector 
monitors room temperature using an internal sensor. For outdoor or 
refrigerator installations, a waterproof temperature probe (optional) is used.  
When the probe is connected, the temperature measurement is 
performed only by the probe sensor. When the probe is not 
connected, the temperature measurement is performed only by the 
detector's internal sensor. 
Once the predefined temperature is reached, the detector wirelessly 
updates the alarm system control panel which then sends a notification to 
the central station or uses the PGM/X-10 controls to switch on a 
connected appliance, for example, a heater or air conditioner. 
Note: When using the temperature probe to monitor refrigerator 
temperature, the temperature probe is installed inside the refrigerator, while 
the detector is installed on the wall or ceiling. For outdoor installations, the 
temperature probe is installed outdoors, while the detector is installed 
indoors. 
Upon alarm, a digital message is transmitted, composed of the unit ID 
followed by message data.  
Since messages transmitted by the MCT-560 might collide with 
transmissions from other PowerCode detectors, a "smart" anti- 
collision transmission sequence is used. 
The MCT-560 tamper switch is activated when the MCT-560 is 
removed form the mounting surface or when the MCT-560 securing 
screw (see Fig. 4 point 1) is removed. A periodic supervision 
message is transmitted automatically once every 15 or 60 minutes, or 
according to local requirements. 
An LED lights whenever alarm, alarm restore or tamper events are reported. 
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. A 
weak battery will result in a “low battery” message. 
Features 
  The MCT-560 is compatible with supporting versions of PowerMax 
Pro, PowerMax COMPLETE, and Amber. 
Note: There is no backward compatibility with PowerMax and 
Amber models produced before the year 2007.

3. Preparation for Use
 
Follow the instructions in Figs. 2 and 3 showing how to open the 
detector cover and gain access to the DIP switch.
 
A. Function Switches 
The MCT-560 has a 4-position DIP switch function selector (Fig. 3) that 
enables selection of up to 4 temperatures at which the detector will send  
an alert. Each switch lever enables one temperature alert. 
All switches are set to OFF, by default. Setting a switch to ON enables 
the MCT-560 to detect the matched temperature as listed in Table 1.
