Electrical Power
A dedicated electrical power supply must be present at the site and available to the
MPRR at all times. The power must be 16-20V AC or 16-28V DC. A step-down trans-
former is available (North America only) to convert a 120V AC duplex wall outlet
with ground to 18V AC, as is a step-up transformer to convert a low-voltage 12V AC
outlet to 18V AC. Consult your local and national electrical codes for installation and
safety requirements.

Note: MPRRs installed outside North America require a locally supplied transformer.
If 18V AC or 18V DC power is available, the transformer option is unnecessary.
TransCore offers a Class C transformer accessory kit (part number 76-1620-005) for
sites where 110V AC is available. It is the installer’s responsibility to supply conver-
sion equipment and wiring for other voltages.

Power circuits are protected internally against power surges.
Host Communications
Your site design must include communications between the MPRR and a host device.
The MPRR communicates with the host device through an asynchronous serial line.
This serial line is an RS
