MCS-730/MCS-730 AC

Fully / Mains Powered Wireless Outdoor Siren

Installation Instructions

1. INTRODUCTION

The MCS-730, powered by 1 or 2 (optional) non-rechargeable batteries,

is fully wireless outdoor siren, designed for installation in areas in which

wiring action is difficult or impossible. It is compatible with control panels

such as PowerMax Pro, PowerMaxComplete, PowerMaxExpress or

Visonic newer panels (not compatible with PowerMax+ and PowerMax

control panel).

The MCS-730 AC is similar to MCS-730 but It is powered by an External

9VAC Adaptor and non-rechargeable backup battery - enables very

long operation time without replacing the battery. The MCS-730 AC

complies with PowerMax+ also.

Features

• Siren and strobe light activation: The siren produces a strong

alarm noise and emits flashing light to deter intruders and guide

police to the site.

Notes:

The duration of the siren's alarm is controlled from the control panel

by setting the "Bell Time" option (refer to alarm system installer

guide, par. 4.4) and should be set according to local authorities

requirements.

The strobe light operates (every 1 second) for 20 minutes after

siren stops or until the system is disarmed, whichever occurs first.

• 2 Types of alarm indication

The siren produces different alarm signals for Burglar and Fire.

• Squawk indication: Squawk (beep) sounds can be used to

indicate alarm system arming (1 squawk) and disarming (2

squawks) by a keyfob (squawk can be enabled from the control

panel User menu).

• Tamper / supervision failure indication: Siren is equipped with

tamper protection, which produces alarm if a burglar attempt to

open the siren's cover or remove siren from wall.

• Low battery voltage alert

The siren reports a low battery message to the alarm system when

battery is about to drain. After low voltage is reported, at least 2

siren alarms are possible before the siren is totally inactive.

• Strobe Light Color: The siren can be purchased with red, blue,

amber or transparent lens, according to the desired strobe light color.

• Siren activity LED: A flashing LED (optional, at the bottom of the

siren front panel) indicates siren activity (can be disabled by an

internal jumper, see fig. 3, step 8)

Fig. 1b – Mounting Position

IMPORTANT! The MCS-730/MCS-730 AC siren must be installed

on the wall in a vertical position with the screw pointing to the floor

only

, as illustrated in Figure 1b. The importance of correct

positioning of the MCS-730/MCS-730 AC is to enable the siren to

function as a waterproof device.

• 2-way full supervision

The siren is fully supervised, 2-way communication device. It

periodically transmits its status signal to the alarm system.

• Installation diagnostics

The transmitted signal strength can be measured during the

installation (refer to the alarm system Installer guide, par. 5.2 –

Diagnostic Test).

• Self-test function

Upon pressing the self test switch, siren functional check is performed -

low level sounds and flash light indicate that the siren is serviceable.
