If you install the AXR-RF farther away from the Central Controller than recommended in the Wiring Specifications table, an auxiliary ±12 VDC power supply is required for operation.

Wiring the AXR-RF

The AXR-RF uses a rear 4-pin AXlink connector for power and data. Power can be supplied by Central Controller's AXlink cable, or with an optional auxiliary ±12 VDC power supply.

Using the AXlink 4-pin connector for data and power

Connect the Central Controller's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector (male) on the rear panel of the AXR-RF for data and ±12 VDC power.

Using the AXlink 4-pin connector with an external ±12 VDC power supply

Use an auxiliary ±12 VDC power supply when the distance between the Central Controller and AXR-RF exceeds the limits described in the Wiring Specifications table. To use an external power supply, connect the Central Controller's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the rear of the AXR-RF, as shown in FIG. 4..

CAUTION: Do not connect the wire from the PWR (+) terminal on the Central Controller to the PWR (+) terminal on the AXR-RF when you connect an external power supply. Do not connect power to the AXR-RF until the wiring is complete.

Connect only the GND (-) wire on the AXlink connector when using an auxiliary ±12 VDC power supply. Do not connect the PWR (+) wire to the AXlink connector's PWR (+) terminal on the Central Controller side of the connector.

Installing the AXR-RF

1.Set the device DIP switch to assign an AXlink device code to the unit.

2.Install the wiring for the AXlink bus.

3.Position the AXR-RF in the location where it will be used. Place the receiver close to, or in the middle of, the area to be covered. It is recommended that you mount the unit where the antenna is away from metal obstructions.

4.Extend the antenna vertically for best reception. If it is necessary to place the antenna in a remote position, use up to 6 ft. (2 m) of RG-174 coax cable.

5.Connect the AXR-RF to the Central Controller with the AXlink cable.

NOTE: To avoid potential problems with Axcess processing, do not install two or more AXR-RF devices, using the same RF frequency, in one system. The AXR-RF is available in frequencies other than 418 MHz (on request).

6.Locate the green AXlink LED on the front panel and verify that it flashes once per second. If so, the AXR-RF is communicating properly with the Central Controller system.

If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AXlink connector and recheck all AXlink wiring connections. Reconnect the AXlink connector to the AXR-RF and verify the LED is flashing once per second.
