User manual in brief

Sensor controls and wiring

The MS-2 microwave sensor triggers message playback on a Mackenzie message repeater by a contact output. It is powered from the 12 VDC supply of the unit it triggers.

  • On the sensor, a status LED and a sensitivity adjustment.
  • Red wire: 12 VDC. Black wire: common. Both connect at the unit’s 12 VDC power connector, together with the power source.
  • Blue wire: trigger from the sensor, to a start or play input of the unit.

Wiring to a MiniMac

  • The blue trigger wire goes to the PLAY terminal of the MiniMac’s control connector.
  • When the sensor triggers, the MiniMac plays the currently selected message.

Wiring to a MacFi

  • The blue trigger wire goes to position 2, START 1, of the MacFi’s Connector 1.
  • When the sensor triggers, the MacFi plays message 1. To trigger a different message, move the blue wire to the corresponding START input.
