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.

Checking AxLink Status

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.
