Star DP8340 (Sur-Gard part # DCDP8340), the SG-
1220B power supply should be used (Sur-Gard part number
XP1220) The SG-1220B is a 12V 2A power supply housed
in a metal case with a tamper switch. It requires one 12VDC
sealed rechargeable battery (6 to 25 Ah rating) and one
16VAC 40VA Class 2 wire-in transformer (Frost FTC4016 or
equivalent).
Connect the parallel printer to the MLR2-DG printer output
port using a parallel printer cable.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a printer cable which has
only 1 common ground wire.
Computer Connections
Connect the computer to the MLR2-DG RS-232 port using
a serial cable to COM1.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a null modem cable.

Telephone Line Connections
With 6-pin modular cables, connect each line module
output to its corresponding telephone line.
Grounding
For maximum resistant to static and electrical noise, the
19" rack frame should be connected to earth ground
through the AC utility box.
Power Supply
Ensure that all electrical connections are made correctly.
After verifying all connections, connect the RED and BLACK
leads to a 12VDC sealed rechargeable battery. Be sure
to observe polarity when connecting the battery. When
the battery is connected, test the system under battery
power only.
If a separate DC input is used to power the LCD
backlighting during AC power failures, connect it to the
BLGT terminal. It must be a listed Fire-Protective Signalling
Mounting the Receiver
Install the MLR2-DG in a closed 19" rack or cabinet with a
locking rear access door. Cover all unused spaces with
blank metal plates. The LCD screens on the receiver are
designed to be viewed below eye level. If the unit must be
mounted where the screens are above eye level, angle the
unit downwards to improve visibility. The following items
can be supplied for a complete installation:
