The Honeywell 2MLR‑AC13, also cataloged as the 2MLR‑AC13 power supply module, operates as an AC‑input DC‑output conversion unit for HC900/ControlEdge systems, providing regulated 5 VDC output, RUN‑contact signaling, and backplane energizing for controller and I/O assemblies.

4‑20 mA HART Loop Protocol and Channel Isolation Behavior
Although the 2MLR‑AC13 is a power supply rather than an analog input module, its regulated 5 VDC output stabilizes HC900 backplane conditions for modules handling 4‑20 mA HART loop protocol. The controlled ripple and over‑current protection help maintain predictable analog update timing. HC900 I/O modules retain channel‑to‑channel isolation, preventing cross‑loop interference even under varying load conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the 2MLR‑AC13 be hot‑swapped while the rack is energized? A: No. The module must be inserted or removed only when the HC900/ControlEdge chassis is de‑energized.
Q: What happens during a brief AC input interruption? A: The module tolerates instantaneous interruptions within 20 ms without dropping the regulated 5 VDC output.
Q: Is the built‑in fuse user‑replaceable? A: No. Both AC and DC fuses are internal and non‑replaceable.
Field Installation Guidelines
Maintain proper torque on clamped terminals using 0.75–2 mm² conductors.
Route AC input wiring separately from low‑voltage DC output conductors to reduce electromagnetic coupling.
Bond shielded cable grounds at a single termination point to avoid circulating currents.
Ensure adequate airflow around the module to prevent thermal buildup.
Verify RUN‑contact wiring polarity and load requirements before commissioning.
