Checking AxLink Status

Mio Modero IR

Wiring Guidelines

The Mio Modero IR requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The power is supplied by the AMX system's AxLink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and the receiver is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the receiver and the Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central Controller's power supply.

Wiring Specifications @ 35 mA

Maximum Wiring Length

Wire Size	Distance

18 AWG	3000 feet (914.40 m)

20 AWG	2121.64 feet (646.68 m)

22 AWG	1,322.75 feet (403.17 m)

24 AWG	833.80 feet (254.14 m)

AxLink Data and Power Connections

The Mio Modero IR uses a four-pin mini AxLink connector for power and data.

Connect the control system's AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear panel of the Mio Modero IR for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 14.

For wire prepartaion guidelines, refer to Preparing captive wires section on page 8.

The AxLink LED, shown in FIG. 12, lights to indicate AxLink power/data status as follows:

• 1 blink per second	Indicates power is active and AxLink communication is working.
• 2 blinks per second	Indicates the devices specified in the Master program do not match the devices found.
• 3 blinks per second	Indicates AxLink communication error.
• Full On	Indicates the following conditions:
	• There is no AxLink control or activity, but power is On.
	• The Axcess program is not loaded.

If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AxLink connector and recheck all AxLink connections. Then, reconnect the AxLink connector to the panel and verify the LED is flashing once per second.
