MCT/IR-252 WP S
 
Resettable Dual RF & IR Waterproof Transmitter  
User Guide
 
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCT/IR-252 WP S is a miniature, water-proof, resettable, 
microprocessor controlled, personal transmitter designed for use in 
the SpiderAlert signaling network. The transmitter is used ONLY 
during emergencies involving security and safety of life, such 
that when an alarm is activated, transmissions continue during 
the pendency of this alarm condition.
 Application examples 
include elderly hospital patients and emergency nurse calls. The 
transmitter has two buttons, used for reporting three different 
emergency events: PANIC1 (large button), PANIC2 (small button) 
PANIC3 (by clicking on the two buttons simultaneously). The alarm 
events are supposed to be acknowledged and reset by the person 
who responds to the alarm message by holding a magnet close to 
the pendant. In the case that an event is not acknowledged, a No 
Response message is sent. In addition to the above-mentioned 
events, the transmitter also sends low-battery and supervision 
messages (when defined in DIP switch). The transmitter transmits 
coded UHF signals and pulsed infrared signals simultaneously, 
thereby allowing the target receiver to accurately determine the 
specific point at which transmission took place in multi-storey 
buildings.  
Besides the regular alert mode, in which an alert message is 
transmitted only once, the transmitter can be set to two additional 
modes – MESSAGE CYCLE and REPEATED MESSAGE 
CYCLING. In the message cycle mode, PANIC1, and PANIC2 
messages are automatically repeated three times (initially 4 times), 
and a no-response message follows if the message has not been 
acknowledged. In the cycle repetition mode, a sequence of three 
alarm messages followed by a no-response message (one cycle) is 
repeated 5 times, unless the message is acknowledged sooner. 
The time interval between these messages is determined by the 
DIP switches (para. 3.1). When a PANIC1 message is transmitted 
after an PANIC2 message has been initiated, the repeated 
messages will be PANIC1 messages instead of PANIC2 messages. 
When holding an external 
magnet close to the unit 
pushbuttons, either from 
underneath or on top, (fig. 1), 
the repetitive message 
transmissions stop and an 
acknowledge message is sent.

programmed, randomly selected 24-bit digital ID code. There are over 
16 million code possibilities, so for all practical purposes no two 
transmitters will have the same ID code. The dual-technology alert 
transmissions made by the MCT/IR-252 WP  S are directed at 
SpiderAlert receivers. These receivers are strategically located all 
over the surveillance area, to pick up alert transmissions and report 
the ID code of the transmitter whose signal was picked up.

Reporting is accomplished via a two-wire bus routed to the 
SpiderAlert Local Control Unit SLC-5, that collects and transfers all 
data to the SpiderAlert main computer automatically displaying the 
holder’s name and exact location. All units are supplied with a 
chain, to be worn around the neck as a pendant transmitter.

3. TRANSMITTER MESSAGES
3.1 Internal DIP Switch Functions 
The internal DIP switches functions and their default positions (set 
by the manufacturer) are detailed in table 1. 
To change DIP switch settings, remove the battery as detailed in 
para. 4.1 and set the required DIP switch positions. Position the 
battery in place and secure the battery cover.

ON - the supervision messages are transmitted every 60 minutes. 
OFF– No supervision messages are transmitted. 
**Message Cycling 
ON – Initially 4 repetitive PANIC1 messages are transmitted 
followed by a NO-RESPONSE message, after which 3 repetitive 
PANIC1 messages are transmitted followed by a NO-RESPONSE 
message. 
OFF – a single PANIC1 message is transmitted.
