Installation and Wiring

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 NXC-ME260. FIG. 7 shows the wiring diagram. Always use a local power supply to power the Master card.

When connecting 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 NXC-ME260. Make sure to connect only the AXM, AXP, and GND wires to the Master’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.

Program Port Connections and Wiring

The NXC-ME260 is equipped with two Program ports. One is located on the front panel and the other is on the rear for easy access. The port on the front panel is an RS232 (male) connector and the rear port is a grey 5-pin (male) connector.

Use a Programming cable to connect the Program port to your PC's COM port to communicate with the Master card. Then, you can download NetLinx programs to the Master card using the NetLinx Studio 2.1 software program. Refer to the NetLinx Studio instruction manual for programming instructions.
