Electrical Installation

AC Power and Fuse

The Model MCE-325 is pre-wired for either 110 or 220 VAC operation, and the appropriate fuse is already installed. The 
MCE-325 uses a 0.5A Slo-Blo fuse for 110 volt operation, or a 0.25A Slo-Blow fuse for 220 volt operation. A fused external 
DC source may be used instead of AC power if desired. (See “External DC Power Source” on page 31.)

Intercom Lines J8, J9, J10

General

Intercom line connectors J8 and J9 are parallel-wired for loop-through connection to other intercom stations. These connectors 
are used for connection of 2-wire line to channels one and two (full-duplex operation), or for connections of 4-wire CH A 
output (CH A input is connected at the auxiliary connector). 

Intercom line connector J10 is used for connections of 2-wire lines to channels 3 and 4 (full-duplex operation), or for 
connections of 4-wire CH B output (CH B input is connected at the auxiliary connector).
