Visonic MCM-140, MCM-140+ Wireless Remote Control

1. Introduction

The MCM-140/MCM-140+ is a wireless remote control for the PowerMax series. The MCM-140 and MCM-140+ differ in the type of coding transmitted and their functions, as described in the Technical Data section. It allows the user to arm or disarm the alarm system, trigger emergency/fire alarm/panic signals, perform auxiliary functions (see notes 2 and 3 in section 7), or turn lights on and off. The remote control is equipped with a radio transmitter that sends a different coded radio signal for each command.

For the PowerMax model, the MCM-140 remote control enables the activation of the auxiliary function, seven home control outputs (X-10), and fire and emergency functions. For these, each button must be individually learned into the corresponding memory slot for auxiliary functions, PGM functions, or X-10 functions, and the desired function must be assigned accordingly in the control panel's programming.

With PowerMax+, PowerMax Pro, or PowerMax Complete, the full range of functions is automatically executed without occupying zone/line memory slots.

Key Features:

• Automatic notification when battery level is low.
• Visual signals via red/green/yellow LED indicators.
• Keypad backlight (switchable on/off).
• Automatic supervision signal (status message) at intervals according to local standards.
• Long-lasting 3-volt lithium battery.
• Wall-mountable.
• Easy to program.

The red LED indicator lights up during transmission. The yellow LED indicator lights up during programming (and during transmission when the battery is nearly empty). The green LED indicator lights up with each button press.

3. Mounting & Battery Replacement (See Figs. 2 + 3)

Caution: If the MCM-140/MCM-140+ is mounted near a door, "Quick Arming" of the system should not be enabled, as this could compromise system security.

4. Programming

4.1 Programming Options

• Enter Master User Code (User No. 1).
• Enter other User Codes (User Nos. 2 to 8).
• Enable/disable Quick Arming.
• Mute/enable the built-in buzzer.
• Enable/disable keypad backlight.
• Enable/disable the battery status message from the MCM-140/MCM-140+ remote control.

4.2 Programming Mode

Entering Programming Mode:

# + [Master Code] (Yellow LED blinks)

Note: Upon entering programming mode, the "Victory" melody will sound, and the yellow indicator light will start blinking. The blinking stops when you exit this mode (by pressing "#") or after a timeout period with no key pressed. Two short tones will sound when the indicator light stops blinking.

4.3 Changing Master Code/User Codes

Changing Master Code:

# + [Current Master Code] (Yellow LED blinks) → # + [New Master Code] (Yellow LED blinks) → #

Changing User Codes:

# + [Master Code] (Yellow LED blinks) → [User Number 1-8] → # + [New Code] (Yellow LED blinks) → #

Notes:

1. Enter the user number (1-8). User No. 1 is defined as the Master User.
2. The Master Code or User Codes consist of a four-digit number. The code "0000" is invalid. It can be used to delete the currently programmed code (upon execution, the "Victory" melody will sound).
3. The User Codes entered on the MCM-140 are independent of the codes entered in the control panel.
4. For the "Latchkey" mode (child function) to be transmitted upon disarming by Users 5-8, the corresponding option must be programmed in the PowerMax+ or newer systems.

4.4 Restoring Standard Master Codes

If you forget the Master Code, you can restore the factory-set default Master Code "1111". To prevent any misuse of this function by unauthorized third parties, an appropriate alarm message will be transmitted to the PowerMax control panel when this action is performed.

To restore the default Master Code without triggering an alarm message, the installer menu must be accessed on the control panel during the action (see PowerMax Installation Manual, Section 1.2 / PowerMax+, PowerMax PRO, and PowerMax Complete Installation Manual, Section 4.1.3).

Procedure: Remove battery, place jumper 1 pin to the right, and replace battery. After 4 seconds, the cheerful tone will sound and the red LED will light up. Move the jumper back to the left.

4.5 Special Programming Options

Upon a successful operation, the yellow LED will blink, and the buzzer will sound twice.

The supervision message is sent once per hour, or according to local standards.

*** If the battery is low, problem messages for the selected zone will be displayed in the PowerMAX.

5. Using with the PowerMax System

5.1 Learning Activation, Auxiliary, and Panic Functions

Note: If you use the "Latchkey" function and program the remote control positions (5-8) with an MCM-140/MCM-140+, all actions performed by the MCM-140/MCM-140+ will be considered as "Latchkey" inputs.

5.2 Learning Light, Fire, and Emergency Functions

Note: Define the zones (lines) programmed for X-10 and PGM devices as "Non-Alarm" zones to prevent false alarms upon activation.

5.3 Programming PGM/X-10 Devices as "On by Zones" (MCM-140)

6. Learning MCM-140 / MCM-140+ into PowerMax+/ PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete

7. Operation

Notes:

1. Eight user codes are possible (User Code No. 1 is the Master User Code). The factory default Master Code is "1111". Upon entering a valid code or command, the "Victory" melody will sound, and the red indicator light will briefly illuminate (indicating transmission).
2. MCM-140: By pressing the LIGHT key and then entering the desired device number (1-7), this device will be turned on (consecutive beeps may be heard). By repeating this key sequence, the device will be turned off. For the X-10 device to turn off when the light key is pressed a second time, the toggle mode must be enabled for the selected module. This can be set in the installer mode using the "PGM/X-10 Time" function under "4. Define Outputs" (see PowerMax Programming Manual, Chapter 5.20). The setup process is described in the installation manual.
3. The AUX function has the same meaning as the "*" key on the remote. Pressing the AUX function key (approx. 2 sec.) can initiate the STATUS (system status message), INSTANT (erasing entry delay), or PGM operation (activating the PGM output or X-10 devices), depending on how the system was previously programmed in the installer menu. For selecting the desired AUX function, see the PowerMax Installation Manual, Section 4.4.17 (Star Key).
4. To arm the system in INFOMODUS (LATCHKEY mode), press the AWAY key, wait until the red indicator light goes out, and then press the AWAY key again. The red indicator light will illuminate again and then go out. To realize the LATCHKEY function with PowerMax V1.16, the MCM-140/MCM-140+ remote control must be learned into remote control memory slot 5-8. For disarming, any valid user code of the remote control can be used.
5. If an invalid code combination is entered (not Master/User Code), a long buzzer tone will sound.
6. If an input sequence is not completed within the set timeout, the desired function will not be executed.
7. When the EMERGENCY, FIRE, or PANIC key is pressed, the red and green indicator lights will blink alternately for 2 seconds to warn the user. The red LED indicator lights up during transmission. The panic function can be programmed by the installer (enabled or disabled).
8. If the Stay Arm or Away Arm command is entered with an invalid user code, the command will not be executed. There are two ways to re-enter the Stay/Away command: a. Wait for the time lockout to expire and the green light to stop blinking. Then you can try again. b. Press STAY/AWAY twice, and then re-enter the code.
