Features

LED Indicator

In Normal operation mode, the LED indicator remains off except in the following situations:

  • When Door Contact’s Tamper switch is triggered.

  • When the Door Contact is activated with either Tamper or Low battery condition.

  • When the Door Contact is activated and transmitting the signal under the Test mode.

Supervision

  • The Door Contact will automatically transmit Supervisory signals periodically to the Control Panel at random intervals of 15 to 18 minutes in Normal Operation Mode.

  • If the Control Panel has not received the signal from the Door Contact for a preset period of time, the Control Panel will indicate that particular Door Contact is experiencing an out-of-signal problem.

Tamper Switch

The tamper switch is designed to protect against unauthorized cover opening. When the tamper is triggered, Door Contact will emit a signal to the Control Panel for reporting, the LED will also light up.

Battery

The MDC-3-ADC2 uses one 3V CR2450 Lithium battery as its power source. The Door Contact is also capable of detecting low battery. When the battery is low, a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel along with regular transmission. The LED will light up when the Door Contact is activated under low battery status.

  • Changing the Battery

You need to open the front and back covers to insert/remove the battery

Step 1 Use a flat-headed screwdriver to fit into the slit between the covers as FIG. 1.

Step 2 Push the flat-headed screwdriver upwards as FIG. 2 to separate the covers.

Step 3 Turn to the other side and repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Step 4 Once the covers are separated, you can proceed to change the battery.

Step 5 After the used battery is removed, press the Learn/Test button 5-6 times to fully discharge before inserting a new battery.

Note:

Make sure the battery mark with the positive side (+) faces upwards when inserting the new battery.

Make sure to insert or place the battery from the bottom as indicated in FIG. 3.

Step 6 To replace the cover:

  • Make sure the Tamper Compression Mark is aimed at the Tamper Switch ( FIG.4).

  • Align the rounded corners of the back cover with the rounded corners with the front cover and push the covers towards each other until you hear a click sound (FIGs. 5 and 6).

Test Mode

  • The Door Contact can be put into Test mode for 3 minutes by pressing the Test Button once.

  • Under Test Mode, the LED will light up whenever the Door Contact is activated.

  • Each additional Test Button press will reset Test Mode time to 3 minutes.

Getting Started

Step 1 Remove the battery insulator of the Door Contact.

Step 2 Put the Control Panel into learning mode, refer to Control Panel manual for detail.

Step 3 Press the Learn/Test Button on Door Contact to send signals to the Control Panel.

Step 4 If the Panel successfully receives the signals, the Control Panel should respond (e.g., emitting beeps). Refer to your Control Panel manual to complete the learning process.

Step 5 After the Door Contact is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode, hold the Door Contact at the desired location, and press the Test button to confirm if this location is within signal range of the Panel.

Step 6: When you are satisfied with the Door Contact at the chosen location, proceed to installation.

Installation

Mounting Methods

  • Mount the Door Contact on the fixed frame of a door/window using the Velcro tape, adhesive tape, or Screw.

  • Mount the magnet on the mobile object (door/window) using Screw Mounting or Adhesive Mounting.

  • Align the rib marks on the magnet and the Door Contact. Where required, use the magnet spacer to better align the rib marks.

Note: The magnet should be no more than 6 mm from the Door Contact when the door is closed.

Mounting Methods for Door Contact

Screw Mounting

The back cover has two Mounting Holes (knockouts), where the plastic is thinner, for mounting purpose.

To mount the Door Contact:

  1. Remove the back cover from the Door Contact.

  2. Break through the two knockouts on the back cover.

  3. Use the holes as a template and drill the holes into the door/window frame.

  4. Insert wall plugs if the Door Contact is to be mounted on plaster or brick.

  5. V. Screw the back cover onto the wall plugs with a Phillips screwdriver.

  6. Attach the front cover to the back cover.

Velcro tape Mounting:

The Door Contact can be mounted using the Velcro tape provided.

  1. Clean the surface to be mounted and the back of the Door Contact with degreaser. Do not mount the Door Contact on a rough surface or a surface with cracking paint.

  2. The Velcro tape can be separated in to the Hook and the Loop (FIG.7).

  1. Remove the liner of the Hook and attach the Hook to the back of the DoorContact. Press the Hook firmly for 30 seconds to ensure good contact (FIG.8).

  2. Remove the liner of the Loop and apply the Loop to the desired mounting location as in FIG.9. Press the Loop firmly for 30 seconds to ensure good contact.

  3. Apply the Door Contact to the Loop taped on the door/window frame(FIGs. 10&11 )

Double-sided Adhesive Mounting:

The Door Contact can be mounted with the double sided adhesive tape provided.

  1. Clean the surface to be mounted and the back of the Door Contact with degreaser. Do not mount the Door Contact on a rough surface or a surface with cracking paint.

  2. Remove the liner for the object side and attach the adhesive tape to the Door Contact. Press the tape against the Door Contact firmly for 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion .

  3. Remove the liner for the wall side and attach the Door Contact to the door/window frame. Press the Door Contact against the door/window frame firmly for 30 seconds to ensure goodadhesion.

Mounting Methods for Magnet

Screw Mounting

The back cover of the magnet has two Mounting Holes for mounting purpose.

To mount the Magnet:

  1. Open the back cover with a flat-headed screwdriver as the picture on the bottom left. Fit the screwdriver into the caved-in area and push upwards as the picture on the bottom right.

  1. Use the holes on the back cover as a template and drill two holes into the door/window.

  2. Insert the wall plugs into the holes screwed.

  3. Screw the back cover onto the wall plugs with a Phillips screwdriver. Where required, use the magnet spacer to elevate the magnet to better align the rib marks.

  4. Attach the front cover to the back cover. You will hear a click sound when the front cover is firmly fixed onto the back cover

Adhesive Mounting

The Magnet can also be mounted with the double-sided adhesive tape pad. Where required, use the magnet spacer to elevate the magnet for better alignment of the rib marks.

  1. Clean the surface to be mounted and the back of the Magnet with a suitable degreaser.

  2. Remove the liner for the object side of the adhesive tape and attach the tape to the magnet. Firmly press the tape against the magnet to ensure goo adhesion.

  3. Remove the liner for the wall side and attach the magnet to the door/window. Firmly press the magnet against the door/window for 30 seconds to ensure good adhesion.
