Powering HID Mercury™ LP1502 Controller Trusted Identities Installation and Specifications 2.5 Input power, cabinet tamper and UPS fault input wiring The LP1502 requires 12 to 24 V DC power. Locate power source as close to the unit as possible. Connect power with minimum of 18 AWG wire. Connect the GND signal to earth ground in ONE LOCATION within the system! Multiple earth ground connections may cause ground loop problems and is not advised.
Powering HID Mercury™ LP1502 Controller Trusted Identities Installation and Specifications 2.7 Reader wiring Each reader port supports a reader with TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F (standard or supervised) or 2-wire RS-485 signaling (OSDP reader for example). Power to the readers is selectable: 12 V DC (VIN must be greater than 20 V DC), or power is passed-through (PASS) from the input voltage of the LP1502 (TB1-VIN), 300 mA maximum per reader port.
