System Setup
Before using the MR-2, you will need to connect the necessary cables and antenna(s), and install the Topcon
software, which enables you to configure the receiver. This chapter describes how to set up your new receiver.
Cable and Antenna Connections
The MR-2 receiver is designed to use either a serial cable or Ethernet cable for full operation. The cable and
antenna setup for serial and Ethernet is described below.
Serial Cable Setup
Step 1: Power the Receiver
You can apply power to both ports at the same time. The receiver draws power from the port with the higher
voltage. If both voltages are the same, power will passively switch between both ports. The switching happens
within operating range, and causes no drop in power. The receiver will work without interruption.
1. Mount the receiver to a suitable hard surface where the LED is visible and the ports are accessible. See also
“Mounting the Receiver” on page 9.
2. Connect the supplied serial cable harness to the power/communication port (Figure 5).

3. Connect the adapter cable to the power connector of the cable harness, as shown in Figure 6.
