R450 MIU and Magnet
If you have R450 MIUs already installed, you can use these to test if the R450 MC is
receiving readings from MIUs. However, it is recommended that you take an R450 MIU
and Neptune magnet with you when you install the R450 MC. These items are needed to
test the unit. See “Swiping the MIU” on page 32.
