5.2 Electrical installation of the MSC800
The MSC800 is used in combination with ID sensors for single-side or multi-side reading.
This chapter provides a schematic description of these application possibilities with a
block circuit diagram and a wiring table. The terminals for the DC 24 V supply voltage and
the connections on the logic unit of the MSC800 are described in chapter 5.3 Electrical
connections on page 45. Instructions on carrying out the individual installation steps are
provided in chapter 5.4 Performing the electrical installation on page 56.
