Installation Installation Configuring Switches Setting the Device DIP Switch Use the eight-position device DIP switch to set the AXP-AI8 as an AXlink device. It can be one of 255 devices in an Axcess system. The device number must match the assignment of the device in the Axcess program. Set the device number with the total of all ON (down) positions. For example, the DIP switch below defines device number 129 (1+128=129).
Installation Be sure that the board input ground is connected to the voltage source ground prior to applying a voltage to the input. Wiring FIG. 4 shows typical joystick wiring: Tilt 4 Pan 2 Pan 2 Tilt 4 Zoom 6 Zoom 6 Focus 8 Focus 8 GND 17,18 GND 17, 18 +5+5V VDC DCREF REF19,20 19,20 FIG.

Turn off any unused inputs. 3. Create a wiring diagram using the AXP-AI8 System Worksheet on page 7. 4. Connect the ribbon cable or the PC board to 20-pin header. 5. Connect the AXP-AI8 to the AXlink data/power bus. 6. Check the AXlink LED. It should blink once per second. Testing 1.
