Installation and Specifications:
1. General:
The MR52 reader interface provides a solution to the OEM system integrator for interfacing to
TTL/Wiegand/RS-485 type readers and door hardware. The MR52 can accept data from reader with
clock/data, Wiegand or RS-485 signaling, provide a tri-stated LED control and buzzer control. Six form-C
relay outputs may be used for strike control or alarm signaling. Eight supervised inputs are provided for
monitoring the door contact, exit push button and alarm contacts. Communication to the MR52 is
accomplished via a 2-wire RS-485 interface.
The MR52 requires 12 to 24Vdc for power. See the following figure for component location.
The MR52 accepts 12 to 24Vdc for power on TB7. Locate the power
source as close to the MR52 as possible. Make power connection with
minimum of 18AWG wires.
Observe POLARITY on VIN!
3. Communication Wiring (SIO Communication Port):
The MR52 communicates to a Mercury Security intelligent controller (EP2500 for example) via a 2-wire
RS-485 interface. The MR52 allows for multi-drop communication on a bus of up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m).
Use twisted pair(s) (minimum 24AWG) with shield for communication. See specifications section.
Install jumpers according to the selected configuration.
4. Reader Wiring:
Each reader port supports a reader with TTL or RS-485 interface. Power to the reader is selectable:
12Vdc, or input voltage passed through (PT), 125mA maximum per reader port. This selection is made
via jumper J2 and is made for both reader ports. For the selection of 12Vdc, the MR-52 must be powered
by a 20Vdc minimum source. For readers requiring a different voltage or current capability, they must be
powered separately.
To fully utilize each reader port, a 6-conductor cable (18AWG) is required when TTL signaling is used.
RS-485 signaling requires two 2-conductor cables. One cable for power (18AWG) and one cable for
communication (24AWG). Reader port configuration is set via host software.
DIODE CURRENT RATING > 1 X STRIKE CURRENT
DIODE BREAK DOWN VOLTAGE: 4X STRIKE VOLTAGE
FOR 12Vdc or 24Vdc STRIKE, DIODE 1N4002 (100V /1A) TYPICAL
MOV SELECTION:
CLAMP VOLTAGE > 1.5 X Vac RMS
FOR 24Vac STRIKE, PANASONIC ERZ-C07DK470 TYPICAL

5. Alarm Contract Wiring:
Inputs 1 to 8 may be configured to use or not to use End-Of-Line (EOL)
resistors, and for normally open or normally closed contacts. Input TMP
is used for monitoring cabinet tamper and PFL input is used power
failure monitoring. These two inputs are for contact closure monitoring
only. They do not use EOL resistor(s). Input configuration is set via host
software.
6. Control Output Wiring:
Six form-C contact relays are provided for controlling door strikes or other devices. Load switching can
cause abnormal contact wear and premature contact failure. Switching of inductive loads (strike) also
causes EMI (electromagnetic interference) which may interfere with normal operation of other equipment.
To minimize premature contact failure and to increase system reliability, contact protection circuit must be
used. The following two circuits are recommended. Locate the protection circuit as close to the load as
possible (within 12 inches [30cm]), as the effectiveness of the circuit will decrease if it is located further
away.
Use sufficiently large gauge of wires for the load current as to avoid voltage loss.
NOTE: The input power (VIN) must be 20Vdc minimum if the 12Vdc selection is to be used.
