MR50

Authentic Mercury MR serial input/output (SIO) devices represent the secondary level in Mercury’s distributed architecture. The devices provide flexibility ensuring they can choose the controller that best fits their needs.

The MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO are economical single card reader interface panel dedicated to individual door oversight and provides of all the I/O needed for controlling a single door. Both MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO connect one card reader, two general-purpose input monitor points and two control relays for access control and security monitoring through an Authentic Mercury EP intelligent controller.

The panel is easy to install and supports Wiegand, clock and data, magnetic stripe, F2F, Supervised F2F, OSDP, keypad and biometrics reader technologies. With its compact footprint and RS-485 connectivity, both MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO can be clustered or distributed depending on the installation environment.

An ideal choice for a compact and economical single-card reader panel, the high-performance MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO are versatile, reliable interface for an individual door

Application Notes

The inputs and the relays can be assigned to door-related functions or to general purpose I/O. The inputs support normally open, normally closed, supervised and non-supervised circuits. The relays can be configured for fail-safe or fail-secure operation.

Hardware interface and card format settings are loaded through software commands.

When connected to a Mercury EP intelligent controller, the MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO can relate the activities of selected system devices to other devices within the system, generating actions and allowing activities to occur independently of the host. The MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO can also locally process access requests based on facility code verification, even disconnected from an intelligent controller. Up to eight facility codes may be active in each of the MR50 Series 2 & 3 SIO .
