ESIGN AND APPLICATION
The MCT88M-IO is an access terminal dedicated to RACS 5 system. The terminal is equipped with colour
graphic display, sensor type keypad, 4 function keys and MIFARE Ultralight/Classic/DESFire/Plus/ reader.
Users can identify at the terminal with PINs, MIFARE cards and mobile devices equipped with NFC (Near
Field Communication) or BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) technology. MCT88M-IO can be connected to RS485
bus of MC16 access controller directly or via MCX16-RS expander using Ethernet network (LAN).
Alternatively the terminal can be connected to virtual controller through Ethernet network (LAN). When
connected to MC16 controller it can be operated as access control terminal, Time&Attendance terminal and
additionally it can be used to control the system especially in regard of building automation functionalities
offered by RACS 5. When connected to virtual controller it can be operated as POS (Point of Sale) terminal
or assets management terminal.

Power supply
The terminal requires power supply voltage in range of 11-15VDC. It can be supplied from the MC16 access
controller (e.g. TML output), from MCX2D/MCX4D expander or from dedicated power supply unit. The
supply wire diameter must be selected in such way that the voltage drop between supply output and the
device would be lower than 1V. The proper wire diameter is especially critical when device is located in long
distance from the supply source. In such a case the use of dedicated power supply unit located close to the
device should be considered. When separate power supply unit is used then its minus should be connected
to controller’s GND by means of signal wire with any diameter. It is recommended to use UTP cable for
connection of device to controller. The table below shows maximal UTP cable lengths in relation to the
number of wires used for power supply.
