Voltage Mode

Voltage Mode is used to sense high and low voltage states, commonly from AC or DC signals from relay-controlled tape transports and LED feedback from preset dimming systems. This mode provides opto-isolation.

The jumper for each input should be set in the VO position before wiring the input signal to the card. An "on" (high) condition will be triggered by DC levels from 3.5 - 28 volts or an AC level from 2.5 - 24 volts. The required current is 0.6 mA at 5 V or 1.6 mA at 12 V.

Switch Mode

Switch Mode is used to sense switch or relay contact closures. Inputs using the AMX PCS Power Current Sensor will use this setting. Refer to the PCS and PCS2 Power Current Sensors instruction manual for additional information.

The jumper should be set in the SW position. Note that the "A" terminal of all inputs in Switch Mode shares the same common as the Axcess system ground. Sources that require isolation from the system ground should use the voltage mode, with the installer providing switched DC power for sensing, if required.
