MCT245 RECEIVER**
DESCRIPTION
The MCT245 is a frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver unit, designed to be compatible with US (FCC Part 15.247), Canadian (RSS-210), EU(EN 60950-1, EN 300 328, EN 301 489), and Australian() regulations for license free use in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. The MCT245 is designed for mobile applications in accordance to Part 2.1091(b). The MCT245 remote control products are assembled by KarTech, at Kar-Tech. There are no user-serviceable parts on the MCT245 transceiver. The MCT245 is not designed for multiple antenna applications and should not be used to transmit simultaneously with any other transmitter.
OPERATION
The MCT245 is a radio Receiver product for the 2.4 GHz ISM bands. The Receiver
microcontroller includes a CPU, GPI/O, a fully integrated frequency
synthesizer, a power amplifier, a modulator, and a receiver unit. The data
received from the antenna is sent to the microcontroller for processing. The
MCT245 microcontroller monitors the input data, and received data, and
controls outputs. The system data is sent to the RF processor and then to RF
circuit, and then to the antenna. The microcontroller is responsible for the
control of the entire communication. The MCT245 transceiver contains a DC
regulator which generates a constant 1.8 VDC for the digital circuitry. The RF
section runs on
the 3.3V supply.
The MCT245 uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum that uses 16 channels for
any hop mode, between 2.407GHZ and 2.470GHZ, with 1MHZ resolution. The
receivers are matched to the transmitters to use the same channels and
sequence as the transmitter’s signals.
The MCT245 controls outputs which can operate relays, hydraulic valves,
lights, or other similar load devices, according to customer requirements.
Where Used
Typical applications for the MCT245 are to control valves, relays and lights
on agricultural equipment, construction equipment, and other similar
equipment.
INSTALLATION
- Attach the external harness to the MCT245.
- Assemble the MCT245 assembly into the Enclosure.
- Place a label on the outside of the enclosure on the side. On the label, include the following: “FCC ID: P4U- MCT245” and “IC:4534A- MCT245, CE”
Application Requirements:
A) Power the MCT245 Receiver with 9-30VDC nominal voltage, with peak current
draw of 150mA.
B) Assemble the MCT245, into a KAR-TECH Receiver enclosure.
C) The MCT245 is to be installed only in mobile applications. See Part 2.1091
for definitions of mobile and fixed applications.
D) Do not operate the MCT245 without an antenna.
E) Documentations: In the host’s User Manual include the following:
a. That there are no user-serviceable parts in the radio product. They should
not remove or install radio modules.
b. The “Instructions To The User” section.
c. The “Industry Canada Statement”.
d. Include in the manual, “This device is granted for use in Mobile only
configurations in which the antennas used for this transmitter must be
installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all personal
and not be colocated with any other transmitters except in accordance with FCC
and Industry Canada multi-transmitter product procedures.”
BEFORE APPLYING POWER!
- Check power and ground for proper polarity.
- Read the rest of this manual.

INSTRUCTION TO THE USER
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE: This equipment 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 a residential installation.
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 communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
