Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
The MCS-710 is an indoor or outdoor fully wireless siren,
designed for installation in areas in which wiring action is difficult
or impossible. There is no need for an external power supply. The
MCS-710 is powered by an internal non-chargeable battery.
The siren communicates with the PowerMax+, PowerMax Pro or
PowerMaxComplete. When an identified activation command is
received from the control panel, the siren activates its sounder,
activates its flash lights and acknowledges its activation to the
alarm system.
The MCS-710 and the control panel should be located in the
same house.
MCS-710 Features
• Designed for indoor or outdoor use
The siren has double plastic cover for extra protection against
rain and sun.
• Distinguishable siren fire and burglar alarms
Fire alarm: Alternating on/off alarm sound.
Burglary alarm: Continuous high/low tone sweep.
Note: The siren is activated for a predefined "Bell Time" (refer to
PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro / PowerMaxComplete installer
guide, par. 4.4), according to local authorities requirements, or
until the system is disarmed, whichever occurs first.
• Squawk indications
By using a keyfob, High, mid or low siren squawk (beep)
sounds can be used to indicate arming (1 squawk) and
disarming (2 squawks) of the PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro /
PowerMaxComplete (as described in the user's guide section
7).
• Flash lights
Upon alarm, the siren lights start flashing until the system is
disarmed.
• Triple Tamper protection
3 tamper switches are included; one under the front cover, second
touching the mounting surface and third attached to the closure
screw.
• Non-rechargeable 3.6V Lithium battery
When the battery voltage is low, low battery message is sent to the
alarm control system. After the low voltage message delivery, at least
2 siren alarms will be possible before the siren will be totally inactive.

• 2-way full supervision
The siren is a fully supervised, 2-way communication device.
It includes a receiver, to receive activation commands from
the alarm system, and a transmitter, to periodically transmit
its status signal to the alarm system.
The transmitted signal strength can be measured during the
installation (refer to PowerMax+ / PowerMax Pro /
PowerMaxComplete installer guide, paragraph 5.2 –
Diagnostic Test).
• Self-test feature
Upon pressing the MCS-710 self test switch for 3 seconds,
the siren functional check is performed (low level sounds and
flash lights indicate that that siren is serviceable).
