MC-302E PG2
PowerG Wireless, Door/Window Contact with Wired Input
1. INTRODUCTION
The MC-302E PG2 is a two-way wireless PowerG magnetic contact device. The device includes a built-in reed
switch that opens when the magnet is removed from the contact. There is a separate auxiliary hard-wired input,
programmable as either N.O., N.C. or E.O.L., for use with additional sensors, for example push button
detectors, door contacts, etc.
The MC-302E PG2 can be configured through the PowerMaster control panel to allow the installer to disable the
magnet-operated reed switch if the auxiliary input only is needed. The reed switch and the auxiliary input behave
as separate transmitters, although they trigger the same RF transmitter. The MC-302E PG2 sends alarm
information to the control panel using the PowerG two-way communications protocol.
The MC-302E PG2 tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
A periodic supervision message is transmitted automatically to the control panel at regular intervals.
An LED lights whenever alarm or tamper events are reported. The LED does not light while a supervision
message is being transmitted.
Operating power is obtained from an on-board 3 V Lithium battery. When the battery voltage is low, a "low
battery" message is sent to the receiver.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1. Mounting
It is highly recommended to attach the transmitter to the top of the door or window on the fixed frame and the magnet to the movable part of the door or
window. Make sure that the magnet is located not more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the transmitter's marked side.
Note: Once the cover is removed, a tamper message is transmitted to the receiver. Subsequent removal of the battery prevents transmission of
"TAMPER RESTORE", leaving the receiver in permanent alert. To avoid this, press the tamper switch when you remove the battery.
Caution!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used battery according to manufacturer's instructions.
Attention! The unit has an optional back tamper switch under the PCB. As long as the PCB is seated firmly within the base, the switch lever will be
pressed against a special break-away base segment that is loosely connected to the base
segment to the wall. If the detector unit is forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break away from the base, causing the tamper switch to
open.

1. Insert a flat-edged screwdriver into the slot and push upward to remove cover.
2. Remove the screw.
3. Separate the base from the cover.
4. Flex retainer and remove the PCB.
5. Mark and drill 2 holes in the mounting surface. Fasten the base with 2 countersunk screws.
6. Mount the magnet with 2 supplied screws and attach the magnet to the magnet base.
