DESCRIPTION
The MCS*E Series consists of multi-output 24 VAC indoor power supplies. These power supplies provide output for 4, 8, or 16 cameras from a
single source and come in 2, 5, 10, and 20 amp capacities. The power supplies allow for 120 VAC line input. Higher capacity models can handle
pan and tilt and receiver operation, in addition to the camera, for integrated systems such as Spectra® and Esprit
All MCS*E Series models come with an individual glass fuse for each output channel.
