Overview

The MC-31 is a

battery-operated contact

sensor that monitors the

status of an interior window

or door and provides a reliable

and simple method to detect

occupancy at entry points. The

MC-31 can be configured to

monitor closed-to-open, and/

or open-to-closed transitions,

or the current state of the

device.

The sensor is well suited for

occupancy-based hospitality

applications that require control to power a room or setback temperature

control devices.

The MC-31incorporates features that assist the installer to position the

device without the need for signal strength indicators and configuration

tools.

This document covers installation, testing, and setup of all MC-31 models.

The product package includes the contact sensor, magnet, and battery.

Prepare for Installation

To ensure optimal function, consider the installation environment and the

following guidelines:

• For indoor use only. Operating temperature -25°C to 65°C

(-13°F to 149°F), 5%–92% relative humidity (non-condensing).

• High density construction materials and large metal appliances or

fixtures in the space may disrupt wireless transmissions.

• Install the sensor within range of linked receivers or controllers, 24 m

(80 ft) unobstructed view. Consider adding a repeater to extend the

wireless signal, if required.

Supplies required to install (not provided):

• Four #6 screws, double-sided tape, or Velcro®

Installation

The MC-31 sensor has two parts: the contact sensor and the magnet. The

sensor should be installed on the casing and the magnet on the moving

window or door. The location of the MC-31 directly affects the quality of

the controller’s message reception.

If installing on a beveled window or door trim, ensure the magnet is

oriented to accommodate the angle. See Magnet Position Test on page 6

to confirm the location.

Use hand tools for the installation. Over-torquing with a screw gun can

damage the device.

Mount the Sensor

The sensor can be mounted using

screws through the mounting plate,

with double-sided tape, or with Velcro.

To mount with screws:

1. Insert a flatblade screwdriver into

one of the two slots at the side

and gently pry to remove the

sensor from the mounting plate.

2. Mount the mounting plate using

two #6 screws.

3. Snap the sensor back into place.

Mount the Magnet

Orienting the magnet in relation to the

sensor is critical. Mount the magnet

using screws through the mounting

plate, with double-sided tape, or with Velcro.

To mount with screws:

1. Insert a flatblade screwdriver into the single slot at the side and gently

pry to remove the magnet from the mounting plate.

2. Mount the mounting plate using two #6 screws. To confirm the

location relative to the sensor, see Magnet Position Test on page 6.

3. Perform a thorough check to ensure normal use of the window or door

does not damage the device.

4. Snap the magnet back in place.

The gap between the sensor and magnet should not exceed 12.7 mm

(1/2 in) to prevent damage when opening and closing the door. The ideal

planar alignment of the magnet is level with the sensor.

Contact Operation

The MC-31 can be configured to transmit a message when the contact

opens, closes, or both (default). See Operating Mode on page 8. The

current contact status can also be transmitted as a heartbeat message. See

Heartbeat Messaging on page 9 to select the interval.

Link to a Controller

The target controllers must be installed, powered, and within range of the

MC-31. Repeating the linking process can be used to unlink the device.

1. Press the [Learn] button on the controller to activate Link mode. If

necessary, refer to the related product documentation.

2. Press the [Teach] button on the sensor once to send a message. The

blue LED blinks to confirm a successful transmission.

3. Deactivate Link mode on the controller.

Battery Power

A CR2032 battery is included with the MC-31. The battery may be factory

installed or packed separately according to shipping regulations. Insert the

battery if required or remove the protective plastic tab before installing.

Note:

If installed for an entry door application, link the sensor

while it is in the closed position. If installed as a window

sensor, link the sensor in the open position.

Note:

A red LED indicates when the battery is low (single blink

every 15 seconds). Replace immediately to ensure

messages are transmitted. When the battery is critically

low the red LED double-blinks every 15 seconds.

The battery can be replaced while the sensor is in its mounted position.

To replace the battery:

1. Insert a screwdriver

into the slot and gently

pry to open the tray.

2. Insert the new battery

in the tray with the

positive side (+) up.

3. Close the battery tray

and press the [Teach]

button to test. The blue LED blinks to confirm success.

Estimated battery life is up to 10 years based on an average of 10 operations

per day. Configuration settings that require many transmissions affect the

life of the battery.

Tests and Settings

The [Teach] button and color LEDs are used to navigate the Tests and

Settings Menu. The intervals between blinks make it easy to distinguish

between single, double, and triple-blinks.

•Exit and Start Over (green single blink LED)

•Range Confirmation Test (blue single blink LED)

•Magnet Position Test (red single blink LED)

•LED Display (green double-blink LED)
