1.0 Introduction
The MR50 Series 3 is an enhanced SIO single card reader interface panel dedicated to individual door oversight and provides all the I/O needed for controlling a single door. Each MR50 connects one card reader, two general-purpose input monitor points, and two control relays for access control and security monitoring through an Authentic Mercury intelligent controller.
Note: Borealis also support the MR50 Series 2 modules.
With two-wire RS-485 connectivity, the MR50 reader port supports OSDP, OSDP Secure Channel, FICAM government profiles, keypads, biometric readers, Wiegand, clock and data, magnetic stripe, F/2F, and supervised F/2F reader technologies. System configuration and setup are provided through Mercury OEM
partner software applications.
