AMX NI-3000, NI-4000, NI-2000 Modes and Front Panel LED Blink Patterns, Wiring Guidelines

Connections and Wiring

Think of the PRD Mode (On) equating to a PC’s SAFE Mode setting. This mode allows a user to continue powering a unit, update the firmware, and download a new program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program. Power must be cycled to the unit after activating/deactivating this mode on the Program Port DIP switch #1.

Using the Configuration DIP switch

1.Disconnect the power supply from the 2-pin PWR (green) connector on the rear of the NetLinx Integrated Controller.

2.Set DIP switch positions according to the information listed in the Baud Rate Settings on the Configuration DIP Switch and PRD Mode Settings tables.

3.Reconnect the 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector.

Modes and Front Panel LED Blink Patterns

The following table lists the modes and blink patterns for the front panel LEDs associated with each mode. These patterns are not evident until after the unit is powered.

Wiring Guidelines

The Integrated Controllers require 12 VDC power from a NetLinx Power Supply to operate properly (this supply is unit dependent). The Integrated Controller connects to the power supply via a 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector.

This unit should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the Controller can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out.

Apply power to the unit only after installation is complete.
