Power
The MPI 6000 requires 19V DC to 28V DC or 19V AC to 27V AC RMS voltage
source.
Table 3-1 lists the MPI 6000 external power connector specifications.
RF Antenna Connector
The MPI 6000 Reader typically is connected to an AA3152 Universal Toll Antenna
by a single low-loss RF cable. The antenna configuration is designed for overhead
mounting on a gantry or sign structure. Figure 3-2 shows the antenna connector on the
MPI 6000 enclosure.
