Power considerations
The following information relates to wiring considerations for a AMX Lighting system.
Power connections
Power to a controller must be maintained to avoid losing communication with AXlink. Pack #1 will
survive a brownout or temporary loss of power and recover online to AXlink. Reset Pack #1 to
bring Packs #2 and above online. If Pack #1 loses power and power is then restored, all other packs
(2 - 10) will remain offline until Pack #1 is reset.
AXlink connections
In order to establish an AXlink connection for programming, the controller must be connected to a
power source and be powered on. The AMX Lighting system will allow programming after power
has been applied. Once power has been applied and the AMX Lighting controller has established an
AXlink connection, the 12VDC supply to the processor will allow program changes if the 120VAC
supply is cut off.
