MC-302E PG+

Enrolling the device

1. Refer to the control panel installation manual for the complete set of enrollment instructions and testing procedures.

2. From the Installation menu, enter the Device enrollment menu and select the option to add a new device.

3. Remove the battery pull-tab to power on the device and begin the auto-enrollment process. If the battery pull tab is not available or if the device does not automatically enroll, open the device cover to trigger the enrollment. Alternatively, press the enroll button until the yellow LED turns on. See Figures 4 G and H.

4. If requested, enter the PIN code printed on the device label.

5. To manually enroll the device:

   • Scan the QR Code on the device box, using the IQ4 camera if available, or see step b.
   • Manually enter the device ID, printed on the product label, in the format 102-XXXX.
     Note: If the device has been powered up for more than 48 hours it will be identified by the system only after the device has been reset.
     The MC-302E PG+ is enrolled with device ID 102-XXXX. In fallback mode, it enrolls as MC-302E PG2 with device ID 101-XXXX.

6. Select the required zone.

7. Configure any device parameters that are required.

8. Mount and test the device. See Local diagnostics test for information on testing the device.

Configuring the device parameters

1.  Enter the DEVICE SETTINGS menu and select the required configuration as described in the following table:

Configuration options

Optional settings: LED ON (default) and LED OFF.

Reed

Switch

| Determine whether to enable or disable the internal reed switch. Optional settings: Enabled (default) or Disabled
Input#1| Define the external input according to the installer’s requirements. Optional settings: Disabled (default), End Of Line , Normally Open or

Normally Closed.

Mounting the device using tape

1. Peel the release liners of the two strips of double-sided adhesive tape and attach the tape to the back of the device and the magnet. See the following figure.

Double-sided adhesive tape placement on the device and magnet

2. Place the device on the frame of a window or door and place the magnet on the moving surface of the window or door itself, directed according to the positioning marks. See the following figure.

Mounting the device using screws

About this task:
Internal view

1. To open the device cover, use a screwdriver to loosen the cover screw and separate the base from the cover.
   Figure 5: Device cover removal

2. Remove the battery while pressing the tamper switch.
   Note: When the cover is removed, a tamper message is transmitted to the control panel. Subsequent removal of the battery prevents transmission of tamper restore, leaving the control panel in the permanent alert. Pressing the tamper switch when removing the battery prevents this.

3. Flex the retainer and remove the electronic board. See the following figure.

Removing the electronic board

Screw the device base onto the door or window frame. See the following figure.

Note:
Make sure to fasten the break-away segment to the frame. If the device is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the base, causing the tamper switch to open. See Figure 7 A.

Device screw installation

5. Reinsert the battery. See Replacing the battery for more details.

6. To reattach the electronic board to the base, flex the retainer and place the electronic board under the electronic board edge supports. Then release the retainer back in place to fasten the electronic board. See the following figure.

Reattaching the electronic board

7. Clip the cover onto the device base and tighten the cover screw. See the following figure.

Closing the device cover

8. Align the magnet bracket to the device according to the positioning marks. See Figure 10 A.
9. Screw the magnet bracket onto the door or window frame. See Figure 10 B.
10. Attach the magnet to the bracket. See Figure 10 C.

Magnet screw installation

11. Optional: You can add 3 mm or 7 mm spacers to the magnet. Clip the spacers onto the bracket in the required combination.

Spacer mounting combinations

Replacing the battery

Before you begin:

CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions and according to local rules and regulations.

1. Remove the device cover. See Figure 5.
2. Remove the battery. See Figure 12.
3. Insert the new battery while observing battery polarity.

Figure 12: Battery removal and insertion

4. Press down on the battery until it fits into place.
5. Close the device cover and fasten the cover screw. See Figure 9.

Note: After restoring a low battery, the system may take up to 5 minutes to clear the trouble.

Wiring the auxiliary input

About this task:
The auxiliary input is programmable as either Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC), End Of Line (EOL), Double End of Line (DEOL), and Triple End of Line (TEOL).

1. Remove the device cover. See Figure 5.
2. Use long nose pliers to remove the wiring inlet.
   Removing the wiring inlet

1. Connect the auxiliary sensor contacts across the auxiliary input terminals.
2. If the auxiliary input is defined as NC, series-connected NC sensor contacts must be used exclusively. An EOL resistor is not required.
3. If the auxiliary input is defined as NO, parallel-connected NO sensor contacts must be used exclusively. An EOL resistor is not required.
4. For EOL supervision, NC sensor contacts can be used. A 5.6 kΩ EOL resistor must be wired at the far end of the zone loop.

Alarm circuit options with EOL resistors

R1=5.6 kΩ resistor; S1=tamper

R2=5.6 kΩ resistor; S2=Alarm

F| TEOL: NC switch only;

R1=5.6 kΩ resistor; S1=tamper R2=5.6 kΩ resistor; S2=alarm

R3=10 kΩ resistor; S3=fault S2 and S3=masking

7. Close the device cover and fasten the cover screw. See Figure 9.

Wiring the auxiliary input in fallback mode

About this task:
This section is relevant only for devices enrolled in fallback mode as MC-302E PG2.

1. Connect the auxiliary sensor contacts across the auxiliary input terminals.
2. If the auxiliary input is defined as NC, series-connected NC sensor contacts must be used exclusively. An EOL resistor is not required.
3. If the auxiliary input is defined as NO, parallel-connected NO sensor contacts must be used exclusively. A 5.6 kΩ EOL resistor must be wired at the far end of the zone loop.
4. For EOL supervision: NC sensor contacts can be used, as shown in Figure 14. A 5.6 kΩ EOL resistor may be wired at the far end of the zone loop.

The following figure illustrates an NO and NC alarm circuit with an EOL resistor.

Note: An alarm message is transmitted once the loop is opened or short- circuited.

Local diagnostics test

About this task:
After power-up or closing the cover, the device automatically enters Test Mode for 15 minutes. To manually enter the devices into Test Mode refer to the Control Panel Installer Guide.

1. Before you start the test, remove the device cover from the base. See Figure 5.
2. Close the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal position.
3. Momentarily open the door or window and verify the red LED blinks, indicating detection. After 2 seconds one of the LEDs blinks three times.

The following table indicates the received signal strength indication.
Table 3: Signal strength indication

Important: Reliable reception must be assured. Therefore, poor signal strength is not acceptable. If you receive a poor signal from the device, relocate it and re-test until good or strong signal strength is received.
Note:
It is recommended to have strong signal strength and you must verify the signal strength using the control panel’s diagnostic test. For detailed Diagnostics Test instructions, refer to the control panel installer guide.
