Mercury M5-2K

Authentic Mercury M5-2K is a multi-device interface panel for the replacement of the Casi M2000 reader controller. As with the entire Mercury M5 Bridge family of controllers, the M5-2K is made to match the existing form factor of the popular Casi Micro5 line of access control hardware allowing a fast “screwdriverless” changeover and easy migration of a Casi client infrastructure to any Authentic Mercury software partner.

Built to provide the ability to control access for four openings, this panel offers support for Four (4) F/2F protocol based readers capable of being individually configured. Additionally, the M5-2K has the native capability to monitor the door position, manage the door locking hardware and request to exit devices.

Application Notes

The M5-2K is an integral component in the Mercury M5 Bridge family approach to migrate any Micro5 hardware legacy to the flexible, feature-rich Mercury access hardware. When paired with a M5-IC, it ensures the customer an “Open” future based on Authentic Mercury controllers.

NOTE:

The above specifications are based on the typical 12 volt reader drawing 125 mA. Reader power requirements vary between different models. Excessive voltage drop on long cable runs may require a larger cable gauge for powering the reader from a local power source. Refer to the power specifi cation for the reader being installed.
