MRKP2 – REAR CONNECTORS

Installation

The MRKP2 is designed to mount in a standard two gang electrical back-box (see Specifications sections for details). Typical mounting height is 56-60 inches (1.53 meters) from the floor to the bottom of the frame. This provides optimum “eye-level” viewing for the largest number of people.

Route the CAT-5 cable from the MX88 into the back of the electrical back-box, terminate it with an RJ-45 connector after it is passed through the electrical back-box. Connect it to the appropriate RJ-45 connector on the rear of the MRKP2 (“CONTROLLER” for connecting to MX88, or “EXP ANSION” if connecting to an extension keypad). If using an IR Receiver, strip the ends of three conductors of the IR receiver’s cable and insert into the appropriate terminals of the IR Input terminal block shown in Figure 3.1.

Once connections are made, mount the MRKP2 into the electrical back-box using the two provided screws. Mount the Trim Plate Bracket as shown in the Figure 2.5 on next page, and then snap the Screw-less Trim Plate in place.

Note: Do not mount the MRKP2 in the same electrical back- box as high

voltage devices such as electrical outlets or switches.
