Connections and Wiring

NI-700NI-900

FIG. 1 AXlink connector and LED

The AXlink port can be used to supply power to downstream AXlink-compatible devices as long as both the power required is LESS THAN 2 Amps total and the external power supply feeding the NI unit has the necessary power capability.

Wiring Guidelines

The Integrated Controllers use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the Controller through the rear 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the power requirements information described in the product’s Specifications table to determine the power draw.

The incoming PWR and GND cable from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

This unit should only have one source of incoming power.

Using more than one source of power to the Controller can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out.

Apply power to the unit only after installation is complete.

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1.Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2.Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section).

3.Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
