About MP12

MP12 OMM system configurationThe MP12 uses infra-red optical transmission.  It is turned on using either an M code or the auto-start feature, and is turned off using either an M code or an internal timer.

MP12 uses the legacy optical transmission method, therefore must be paired with either the OMI or the OMM / MI12 receiver and interface.
