The MRDT Display Terminal provides robust communications functionality in a single package. When combined with Mercury’s EP or AP series of intelligent access platforms, the unit brings an interactive link and truly integrated functionality to the terminal, a major plus for end-user convenience and satisfaction. The MRDT combines a 32-character LCD display and a multi-position keypad. Even in challenging settings, the back-lit LCD yields clear information displays. Text is displayed as sent by the controller, providing access and alarm status feedback or other freeform messaging or instructions that the system generates. The keypad features standard numerics and 4 function keys to select display options. Deployed with the Mercury family of access platforms, the MRDT is capable of creating custom tasks with any of the functions keys, which mimic system command console functionality at the doorway. And supporting Wiegand, magnetic stripe and proximity devices, the unit connects to the system via either a 2-wire RS-485 link or a TTL connection. Menu-driven configuration is easily conducted at the keypad.
