Powering Additional Readers from the Terminal Blocks

The MS-Connect 210 can power up to three additional readers during active operation. This is accomplished by wiring the additional readers to terminal blocks J2 through J5 inside the box, as shown below.

Note: If you are using MS-890s or Quadrus EZs, the MS-Connect 210 can power up to two additional readers, due to the greater power demands of those models.

Reader 2

Connect the positive wire of the reader's Reader Cable to J2 PWR+ (Pin 1), the negative wire to J2 PWR- (Pin 2), and the Chassis GND wire to J3 (Pin 3).

Reader 3

Connect the positive wire of the reader's Reader Cable to J4 PWR+ (Pin 1), the negative wire to J4 PWR- (Pin 2), and the Chassis GND wire to J3 (Pin 2).

Reader 4

Connect the positive wire of the reader's Reader Cable to J5 PWR+ (Pin 1), the negative wire to J5 PWR- (Pin 2), and the Chassis GND wire to J3 (Pin 1).
