AxLink Device Addressing

AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to specify a unique device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System.

Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

1.If connected, disconnect the power supply.

2.Locate the 8-position mini-DIP switch on the rear panel.

3.Set the DIP switch according to the values shown in FIG. 3.

Switch	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8		Example
Value	1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128
									(129)

FIG. 3 8-position mini-DIP Switch

The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are in the ON position. Note that the ON position is indicated on the DIP Switch.

As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines AxLink device number 129 (1+128=129).

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to enter the new device number into memory.

Wiring

Preparing captive wires

Caution: Do not connect power to the Metreau keypad until the wiring is complete.

Caution: If using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before wiring the Metreau keypads.

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

1.Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire 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.Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.

Note: Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.
