Middle Atlantic MPR MODULE, 20A, CONTROLLED, ISO GROUND

Designed for professional AV installations, the Middle Atlantic MPR MODULE, 20A, CONTROLLED, ISO GROUND delivers a fast, flexible solution to installation challenges. This remote power module is engineered to integrate seamlessly with Middle Atlantic’s MPR raceways, enabling clean cable management, centralized power control, and safe, reliable distribution for a wide range of audio-visual systems. With a 20-amp rating and an isolated ground configuration, it reduces electrical noise and contributes to safer, more stable performances in conference rooms, lecture halls, home theaters, broadcast environments, and corporate lobbies. Whether you’re upgrading a compact control room or outfitting a large multi-room installation, this MPR module provides the scalability and reliability installers demand.

• Fast, flexible solution to installation challenges: The MPR MODULE is designed to simplify complex installations. Its streamlined form factor and modular construction let you adapt quickly to shifting room layouts, retrofit projects, and evolving equipment needs. By consolidating power handling into a dedicated, centralized module, technicians can reduce wiring clutter, minimize signal interference, and speed up commissioning. The result is a cleaner install that’s easier to maintain and upgrade over time.
• Remote power modules fit in MPR raceways: This module is purpose-built to live inside Middle Atlantic MPR raceways, providing a clean, integrated power distribution path that respects modern aesthetics and space constraints. Remote power management means less visible cabling and a more professional presentation in boardrooms, media suites, and home theater setups. The ability to tuck the module into the raceway keeps outlets accessible where needed while preserving overall room organization.
• 20A capacity with controlled power distribution: The 20-amp design supports demanding equipment loads typical of professional AV installations, including displays, processors, amplifiers, multi-outlet hubs, and critical control gear. The “CONTROLLED” designation indicates the module’s suitability for centralized power sequencing, remote switching, and integration with control systems. Engineers can coordinate on/off timing, protect sensitive gear from inrush events, and ensure a reliable startup sequence for complex systems.
• Isolated Ground (ISO Ground) for cleaner performance: The ISO Ground specification helps minimize ground loop noise and electromagnetic interference that can degrade audio fidelity and video quality. By providing a dedicated, isolated grounding path for the connected equipment, this module helps maintain signal integrity across AV matrices, processors, and loudspeakers—especially in environments with multiple power sources and dense cabling.
• Versatile, professional-grade installation for a range of environments: From corporate boardrooms and education facilities to high-end home theaters, the MPR MODULE supports a variety of configurations. Its rugged construction, compatibility with MPR raceways, and robust power management capabilities make it ideal for installations where reliability, ease of service, and future scalability are critical. The module’s modular approach means you can expand or reconfigure as needs evolve without replacing the entire power system.

How to install Middle Atlantic MPR MODULE, 20A, CONTROLLED, ISO GROUND

Installing the MPR MODULE is a straightforward process for qualified technicians. Begin by planning the module’s location within the MPR raceway system, considering access for maintenance and the intended load distribution. Ensure the main power is de-energized before handling any wiring or mounting tasks. Position the module in a secure, accessible section of the raceway where it won’t be obstructed by other equipment or future upgrades.

Mount the module securely within the raceway according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, using the appropriate mounting hardware. Route power input and output cabling to minimize interference with data lines and video signals. Connect the input to the designated power source, observing polarity and conductor sizing appropriate for a 20A circuit. Attach each connected device to the module’s controlled outlets, and arrange cables to maintain a clean, organized appearance inside the raceway.

If integrating with a control system, configure the module’s remote control interface to synchronize with your AV processor, room automation system, or centralized power management solution. Establish sequencing, wake-on-usage rules, and safety interlocks as required by the installation. After wiring and setup are complete, re-energize the system and carefully test each outlet’s response to control commands, as well as normal operation under load. Confirm the ISO Ground path is functioning correctly by performing grounding checks and verifying noise reduction performance with representative equipment, such as a preamp, processor, and display. Finally, document the installation, including load calculations, circuit assignments, and control logic, to support future service and upgrades.
