TBefore cabling and installing the MLC 104 IP Plus, locate and write down the MAC address of the device for configuring the IP address. The 12 character alphanumeric address (e.g., 00-05-A6-03-9G-H4) can be found on a label on the side of the controller.

TThe length of exposed wire is critical to avoid transmission problems. Ensure the lengths given here are adhered to when stripping the cables for connection.

NIf a drain wire is used, both ends of the wire must be covered by heat shrink to avoid accidental grounding.

a.Connect the MLC power and RS-232 control cable (part # 26-626-50) as shown.

NThe MLC 104 IP Plus is powered from the PVS 305SA. DO NOT connect an external power supply to the MLC 104 IP Plus unless installing an optional secondary control panel.
