- Provides six Form-C relays rated at 5 A / 3 A @ 30 VDC
Dual Reader Interface Panel
The Mercury MR52-S3 is an interface panel module designed for access control systems that require two reader ports. It supports up to two doors per controller and provides eight general-purpose inputs alongside two dedicated inputs for tamper and power monitoring. Installers and system integrators use it to expand door control in commercial security installations.
Capacity and Headroom
Six Form-C output relays handle switching loads with normally open contacts rated at 5A @ 30 VDC and normally closed contacts at 3A @ 30 VDC. Host communication runs over RS–485 two-wire twisted pair shielded cable up to 4,000 feet using Belden 9841 or equivalent. The unit draws a maximum of 550mA from a 12-24 VDC supply with ten percent tolerance. It does not suit applications needing more than two reader ports or relay counts beyond six.
Thermals, Noise and Power
Operating temperature range spans 0 to 70 degrees Celsius (32 to 158 Fahrenheit) with storage tolerance from -55 to 85 degrees Celsius. Humidity tolerance is 5 to 95 percent RH non-condensing. Primary power accepts 12 to 24 VDC at up to 550mA. The module has no moving parts, so it generates no audible noise during normal operation.

Questions about this item
Will the MR52-S3's RS-485 host link at 4,000 feet reach the door controllers I already have wired with Belden 9841?
Yes — the panel communicates over 2-wire RS-485 up to 4,000 feet on twisted-pair shielded cable such as Belden 9841, matching your existing wiring.
Which LEDs or relay clicks confirm the MR52-S3 is powered and talking to the host after I apply 12-24 VDC?
Apply 12-24 VDC (550 mA max); the dedicated power-monitor input and tamper input will report status, and the six Form-C relays (NO 5 A / NC 3 A @ 30 VDC) will click on command.
Does the MR52-S3 ship with the Belden 9841 cable and 12-24 VDC supply, or must I source them separately?
The module provides two reader ports, eight programmable inputs, two dedicated inputs and six Form-C relay outputs; cable and power supply are not included.
