2.2- WIRING MCS CONTROLLERS TO THE MDS-6A

System Specs

IMPORTANT NOTE

MCS Controllers and IR Receivers

Each ZONE KEYPAD INPUT RJ45 jack on the MDS-6A provides 12VDC/300mA.

You may choose to load each of the MDS-6A’s ZONE KEYPAD INPUTS with any combination of MCS Controllers and/or IR Receivers as long as the TOTAL CURRENT CONSUMP-

TION DOES NOT EXCEED 300mA.

MCS Controller (w/ IRTUBE) = 125mA

Additional IR Receivers = 10mA

Each of the MDS-6A’s Zone Controller RJ-45 Jacks provides 12VDC/300mA. These Zone Keypad connections are capable of driving a maximum of TWO MCS Controllers per zone.

MCS Controller Connections and MDS-6A Wiring

1.CAT-5 should be used for all MCS Controller wire runs (max 500ft).

2.MCS Controller wire runs can be terminated directly to RJ45 connectors and then plugged into the MDS-6A.

3.Use RJ45-to-Pigtails Interface Cables and a point-to-point punchdown block to facilitate the termination of MCS Controller wire runs. Use of a punchdown block eliminates crimping and pinout errors while providing a neat, on-wall wire management solution.
