Product Information 2 AXR-RF RF Receiver
Installation Installation Configuring the AXR-RF Use the eight-position DIP switch on, the rear of the AXR-RF, to set the device number. A device number is assigned to devices connected to the AXlink bus. Every device on the bus must have a unique device code. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program.
Installation Wiring Guidelines The AXR-RF requires regulated ±12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies power via the AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and AXR-RF is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The table below lists wire sizes and maximum lengths allowable between the AXR-RF and Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of ±13.
Installation Connect only the GND (-) wire on the AXlink connector when using an auxiliary ±12 VDC power supply. Do not connect the PWR (+) wire to the AXlink connector's PWR (+) terminal on the Central Controller side of the connector. Installing the AXR-RF 1. Set the device DIP switch to assign an AXlink device code to the unit. 2. Install the wiring for the AXlink bus. 3. Position the AXR-RF in the location where it will be used. Place the receiver close to, or in the middle of, the area to be covered.
