1Overview
The TELSEC®MP2 is designed to provide advanced monitoring and alarming for remote facilities and
cabinets using industry standard communications protocols such as SNMP, DNP3 and SMTP (Email) over
Ethernet. The system has a built-in web server for status review and programming and can be polled
using SNMP GET requests. The MP2 has up to 32 universal inputs for monitoring temperature, humidity,
contact closures and any 0-6 VDC or 0-20 mA sensors. Each individual input may be scaled and
displayed in the proper engineering units. The system has two RS485 serial port for monitoring Modbus
RTU devices or to act as a DNP3 Outstation and four digital outputs which can be actuated based upon
user programmable events. This user guide is intended to provide basic operational information for
programming and status review of the MP2 System. Please contact Quest for additional information
and or questions about the operation of the system.
1.1 Getting Started
The TELSEC®MP2 is simple to setup and program which allows you to start monitoring your facility
quickly. The basic steps are listed below along with a chapter reference for this manual:
1. Mount the MP2 in the desired location (section 3.1)
2. Power the system. (section 3.2.1)
3. Connect the inputs to be monitored to the system. (section 3.4)
4. Connect one or both serial ports to Modbus RTU Devices. (section 3.5)
5. Wire the digital outputs. (section 3.8)
6. Connect the MP2 to an Ethernet switch and configure the IP settings. (section 5.1)
7. Configure the system (Section 8.1)
8. Configure the alarm distribution. (section 8.2)
9. Define the inputs. (section 9.1)
10. Define the Modbus points. (section 9.3)
11. Define the alarm points. (section 9.4.1)

3Installation
All local and national electrical safety codes (NESC®) must be followed when installing the MP2. If there
is any contradiction in this manual and those standards, then the installer must follow the local and
national codes. Use copper conductors only. The TELSEC®MP2 is designed for mounting on a wall or
within a rack. Rack mounting is accomplished by using the optional (not included) mounting ears for a
19 or 23” rack. Contact your Quest representative to order the Rack Mounting Ear kit (PN 150989).
3.1 Mounting the MP2
Install the MP2 in the desired location using #8 hardware to connect the two mounting tabs to the wall.

3.2 Powering and Grounding
3.2.1 Powering the MP2
Follow all national and local electrical codes when powering the MP2. Quest recommends a minimum
of 18AWG conductor for powering. The TELSEC®MP2 will operate from 18-65 VDC power (50 mA max at
48 VDC). The power input is isolated from the rest of the system and will work on either a positive or
negative DC system. The MP2 supports power from a dual (A & B) feed DC power system to provide
redundancy in case one of the feeds is lost. Connect the power source A and B (optional) to the MP2
observing the polarity markings on the enclosure. Quest recommends fusing each power source at 1 A.
Reverse polarity will not damage the unit, but it will not operate until corrected. It is recommended that
all input wiring be completed with no power to the system. Turn on power once all wiring is verified.
3.2.2 Removing the Battery Insulator
The MP2 is shipped with an insulator to keep the battery disengaged from the system. Remove the
insulator once the unit is permanently powered, by pulling the tab in front of the unit. The system uses
the battery to save the system time and input time status.

Rev 1. 1 05/08/19 - 4 - TELSEC©MP2 User Guide
3.2.3 Grounding the MP2
There is a ground post on the left and right side of the chassis. Place a ground wire using a minimum 12
AWG conductor from the Electrical panel ground bus (or other approved grounding point) to the ground
terminal on the MP2. Follow national and local codes and practices for properly grounding the system.
3.3 Connecting the Ethernet
Use a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable to connect the MP2 to the local switch or hub. Configure the switch
port to auto speed detect and auto negotiation. A green LED link light on the ethernet jack will be
illuminated when a physical link has been established. The amber LED on the ethernet jack will be
illuminated when the connection is 100Mb and off if the connection is 10Mb.
3.4 Wiring inputs
Wire each input to be used between the input terminal (1-32) and a common terminal (C). There is a
common terminal available for every two inputs available for termination. The MP2 does not provide
power for sensor operation thus any device requiring power will need an external power source to
operate properly. Refer to the silkscreen on the enclosure for location of each input and common
terminal. The inputs will support any sensor that is a 10k Type III thermistor: 0-6 VDC or 0-20 mA analog
sensors. In addition, the system accepts dry contact closures or wet contact closures up to 65 VDC.
3.4.1 Thermistors
Thermistors are resistive devices and do not have polarity. Connect one lead to the input terminal of
the desired input and the second lead to a common terminal. Quest recommends using shielded and
stranded cable for all analog sensors. Connect the shield of the cable to chassis ground on the MP2. Cut
the drain wire and isolate the shield at the sensor end of the cable.

temperature sensors

3.4.2 Voltage Sensors
The TELSEC®MP2 can read and scale any linear voltage input from 0 to 6 VDC. Sensors requiring power
must be externally powered. Contact Quest for the Input Scaling spread sheet to determine the correct
number for the Low and High Custom scale factors.

3.4.3 Current Sensors
The TELSEC®MP2 can read and scale any linear current input from 0 to 20 mA. An external 249-ohm
resistor (recommend 1% tolerance) is required to convert the signal to voltage and will require an
external voltage source to power the sensor. Contact Quest for the Input Scaling spread sheet to
determine the correct number for the Low and High Custom scale factors.

The TELSEC®MP2 supports dry contact closures or wet contacts up to 65 VDC. A wet contact is an input
where there is an external voltage present. A dry contact has no voltage present and the MP2 provides
