Introduction Introduction The AMX Radia Lighting Control SystemTM employs a dual-platform programming architecture that supports both the Axcess programming language and PROlink. The AMX Lighting product line is modular by design, and includes a wide variety of integrated dimmer control modules, dimmer modules, and also switch/relay modules.
Introduction Applications You can use the AMX Lighting Control System for commercial, corporate, and residential applications. The dual-platform Axcess and PROlink control architecture can address virtually any number of lighting zones. Entire residential or commercial lighting systems can be manually controlled or fully automated. AMX Lighting systems can also be integrated into existing Axcess presentation/control systems.
Introduction AMX Lighting Control Equipment The following table lists all of the AMX Lighting Control System equipment. Refer to the installation sheets for these enclosures, control modules, and dimmer modules for detailed wiring drawings, application notes, and specifications.

Installation Installation Space Requirements AMX Lighting control installations require very little space. Enclosures are the main concern. All enclosures are mounted flush, on a vertical surface and must have a minimum clearance of 12" (304.8 mm) above and below to allow for air circulation. Physical dimensions for each enclosure are described in the Installation section. Conduit Conduit runs depend on the enclosures you use and their AMX Lighting modules.
Installation Install the control modules according to local and National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations. Enclosure Dimensions RDA-ENC2, -ENC4, and -ENC6 enclosure and dimensions FIG. 4 shows the dimensions for the RDA-ENC2, RDA-ENC4, and RDA-ENC6 enclosures.

Installation Neutral terminal block Ground terminal block Mounting screw holes for modules (4 per slot) Module mounting slots FIG. 15 Enclosure module mounting slots and mounting screw holes The RDA-ENC2 enclosure contains a ground-terminating lug. The RDA-ENC4, RDA-ENC6, RDA-ENC6B, and RDA-ENC12B enclosures contain a neutral terminating block and a groundterminating lug. Low-Voltage Connections All low-voltage connections must comply with Class 2 wiring codes.

Installation Green status LED indicator When you apply power to the AMX Lighting Control System, the green status LED notes its conditions: It is on full when power is applied to the control module. It blinks on and off when AXlink communication is present. It is off after default initialization is complete. The LED indicator is located near the dry closure connector on the control module. Red status LED indicators The red LED's function is to indicate level.

Installation Configuring and connecting AXlink On all AMX Lighting controllers, DIP switch SW1 sets the AXlink device number. The device number is determined by the value of all the switch position settings. The following table shows the SW1 DIP switch positions and their values. The device number assignment range is 1 through 255. SW1 DIP switch setting values for AXlink Position Value 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 8 5 16 6 32 7 64 8 128 1.

Glossary Glossary Air Gap Switch - A relay or mechanical switch that physically separates a load from the power feed, resulting in an air gap between the contacts. An air gap is a deliberate and noticeable space or disruption in a circuit causing an open condition. AXlink - A four-wire data bus used to transmit and receive data from the AXlink Central Controller to any of 255 devices on the system.
Glossary Control Current - The current used by a dimmer or switch to perform its function. Each Radia Lighting controller supplies this current to its control ports and each Radia Lighting module uses and requires this current in order to operate the dimmer or switch. Control Port - The four-pin connector on the Radia Lighting controller used for electrical control of the dimmer (or switch) is called the Control Port. All modules connect to a control port to operate.
Glossary Integrated Dimmer Module - A Radia Lighting device that contains both a six-channel master controller and dimmers on the same package. They will have a PROlink address and can be on AXlink. The RDD-DM4/ series and the RDD-DM6/ series are integrated dimmer modules, and they all take up two module spaces. Level Time - A Radia Lighting default parameter. Level time is the time it takes for a dimmer to reach its assigned level after receiving a level command.
Glossary Preset Fade Time - A Radia Lighting default parameter. The amount of time it takes for one preset to begin to fade out and another preset to completely fade in. Preset Ramping - The active preset can be ramped to a different level while retaining the proportions and integrity of the preset scene. A preset can be dimmed so that all levels are zero and recovered or brought to full brightness and the dimmed back down to the original settings.
