Mercury Commands and Codes

Overview

This article will help understand the various error codes that Mercury Hardware may generate.

When using the Realtime Control these are the command code that show up in the "Replies From Controller" Window.

Ex. Feb 23 07:22:34 Controller: (10,1):434 DOOR SENSOR-6, 9:3 Door: 00 (was 00), AccPt: 01 (was 00)

In the example the Mercury code is 9.3, the portal is secure.
