Using the 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector for data with external power

To use the NetLinx 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) captive-wire connector for data communication and power transfer, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN must be connected to the AXlink cable connector going to the Integrated Controller. FIG. 9 shows the wiring diagram. Always use a local power supply to power the Integrated Controller unit.

FIG. 9 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector wiring diagram (using external power source)

When you connect an external power supply, do not connect the wire from the PWR terminal (coming from the external device) to the PWR terminal on the Phoenix connector attached to the Controller unit. Make sure to connect only the AXM, AXP, and GND wires to the Controller’s Phoenix connector when using an external PSN power supply.

Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AXlink/PWR connector when using a separate 12 VDC power supply. Do not connect the PWR wire to the AXlink connector’s PWR (+) opening.
