The VOUT terminal on TB7 is the same as VIN. 2.2 Communication wiring (SIO communication port) The MR52 communicates with a HID Mercury Security intelligent controller (EP2500 for example) via a 2-wire RS-485 interface. The MR52 allows for multi-drop communication on a bus of up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m).
Powering HID® Mercury™ MR52-S3B Reader Interface Trusted Identities Installation and Specifications 2.3 Reader wiring Each reader port supports a reader with TTL (D1/D0, Clock/Data), F/2F, or 2-wire RS-485 signaling. Power to the reader is selectable: 12 V DC (VIN must be greater than 20 V DC), or power is passed-through (PT) from the input voltage of the MR52 (TB7-VIN), 300 mA maximum per reader port.

Powering HID® Mercury™ MR52-S3B Reader Interface Trusted Identities Installation and Specifications 2.4 Alarm contract wiring There are eight inputs that are typically used to monitor door position, request to exit or alarm contacts. Input circuits can be configured as: Unsupervised alarm (2 states); reporting as open or closed contact.
Powering HID® Mercury™ MR52-S3B Reader Interface Trusted Identities Installation and Specifications 2.6 Control output wiring Six Form-C contact relays are provided for controlling door strikes or other devices. Load switching can cause abnormal contact wear and premature contact failure. Switching of inductive loads (strike) also causes EMI (electromagnetic interference) which may interfere with normal operation of other equipment.
