Operating Power Installation
2.2 Operating Power
Primary Power Source (AC) and Earth Ground Connections
AC power connections are made inside the control panel cabinet. The primary power source for the
panel is 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 3.66 amps for the MRP-2002/C or 240 VAC, 50 HZ, 2.085 amps for the
MRP-2002E. Run a pair of wires (with ground conductor) from the protected premises main
breaker box to the AC terminal block TB1 on the main power supply. As per the National Electri-
cal Code, use 14 AWG (2.00 mm
2 , 1.6 mm O.D.) or heavier gauge wire with 600V insulation. No
other equipment may be connected to this circuit. In addition, this circuit must be provided with
overcurrent protection and may not contain any power disconnect devices. A separate Earth
Ground connection must be made to ensure proper panel operation and lightning and transient pro-
tection. Connect the Earth Ground wire [minimum 14 AWG (2.00 mm
2 )] to the grounding stud in
the backbox and then run wire to TB1. Do not use conduit for the Earth Ground connection since
this does not provide reliable protection.
Secondary Power Source (Batteries)
Observe polarity when connecting the battery. Connect the battery cable to J12 on the main circuit
board using the plug-in connector and cable provided. The battery charger is current-limited and
capable of charging sealed lead acid batteries. The charger shuts off when the system is in alarm.
