GROUNDING Care should be taken to ensure proper grounding of all Power Supply connections. Ensure that the 12Vdc Power Supply that is providing power to the eMAX-MR51e is properly grounded to an Earth Ground point. August 20, 2012 eMAX-MR51e-Man Rev B...
LED. Reader port configuration is set via the host software. NOTE: When powering a remote device(s) from the eMAX-MR51e, such as a Card Reader, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum current rating available from the board. Size/gauge of the cable used must also be verified.
7. Input Circuit Wiring: Typically, the inputs of the eMAX-MR51e are used to monitor door position switches, request to exit devices, or auxiliary alarm contacts. The operational defaults are; Input 1 for the Door 1 contact, Input 2 for the Door 1 Request to Exit, Input 3 for the Door 2 contact (or spare), Input 4 for the Door 2 Request to Exit (or spare).

See documentation included with locking device regarding suppression diode requirements. NOTE: It is possible for the eMAX-MR51e to provide power for a 12Vdc Door Lock/Strike. However, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum current rating available from the board. Size/gauge of the cable used must also be verified.
Note: There is no LED for IN4. After the eMAX-MR51e has received its IP address, the following table describes the LEDs in the normal running mode. If the communication is lost, the eMAX-MR51e reverts back to the “waiting for IP address” mode: DESCRIPTION On-line, encryption disabled = .8 second ON, .2 second OFF...
The eMAX-EP controller will automatically assign the IP address to the eMAX-MR51e device after saving the record. See section 9 for LED status confirmation of IP setting. 11. eMAX-MR51e Specifications: The eMAX-MR51e Reader Interface Module is for use in low voltage, class 2 circuits only.
