The battery boxes can provide power for two heads at the same time, where multiple heads are needed to provide the level of protection required. Each box has a built in battery charger so that the internal battery can be re-charged when convenient.
The microwave receiver head is connected to a special type of battery box, called the MMD-Master, which includes a radio transmitter. This radio transmitter sends alarm and status information to a control unit, MMD-CU, fitted with a compatible radio receiver. The radio receiver can accept signals from remote units over a distance of about 1km in open areas.
