The MCT-340 is a fully supervised, wireless magnetic door / window sensor, for use with ZigBee enabled home security panels. The sensor includes a built-in reed switch (that opens upon removal of a magnet placed near it).
The MCT-340 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically. The target receiver is thus informed, at regular intervals, of the unit’s active participation in the system.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a “low battery” message will be sent to the receiver 60 days before expiration of battery life (for operation in room temperature).

To pair the sensor to the security panel, you must set it to pairing mode.
Note: Pairing should be performed before installation.
CAUTION: This equipment shall be installed by Service Personnel in non-hazardous indoor locations only.
NOTE: It is highly recommended to attach the door / window sensor to the top of the door/window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable part (door or window). Make sure that the magnet is located not more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the sensor’s marked side.
The sensor should be mounted on the fixed surface and the magnet on the moving surface (see Figure 3b).
A. Double-sided adhesive tape
B. Magnetic location marks
Note: Silicone can also be used to securely mount the device and magnet.
Close the door or window, thus restoring it to the undisturbed state
You can reboot the sensor, as follows:
CAUTION! The defaulting process removes the device from the network and enables re-¬pairing |
Open the battery cover and pull back the clip to remove the battery (see Figure 4).
If you encounter one of the following problems with the MCT-340 SMA, perform the suggested remedy.
Problem | Remedy |
Attempt to pair the sensor is unsuccessful. | Make sure that the sensor has been defaulted and is set to pairing mode (see section 4). |
Make sure the security panel supports the MCT-340 SMA. | |
The sensor and the panel do not communicate. | Perform the signal strength testing procedure described in the security panel installation manual. Make sure that the signal is sufficient. If necessary, replace the sensor’s battery. |
The sensor sends a Low Battery indication. | To ensure continuous proper operation, replace the battery within two weeks of the first Low Battery indication. |
Panel does not arm because of an unrecognized sensor malfunction | Consult with your installer or system provider before you disable a zone. Disable the detector zone (see the security panel user manual). Note that disabling a sensor zone lowers the overall security level of your system. |

FCC Compliance Statement
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one that supplies power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
WARNING! Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
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.
