External power, Connecting Dry Closures

Installation

External power

The following table lists the modules that use most of the operating power an AMX Lighting control module can supply. They may require extra power from the AxLink connection or an external power supply connected to the control module or module(s) when using multiple modules.

External Modules

RDM-HSW	RDM-MR	RDM-SWM

RDM-2HSW	RDM-2MR	RDM-2SWM

RDM-3HSW	RDM-3MR	RDM-3SWM

RDM-HFDB	RDM-MR35	RDM-DPSM

RDM-HDC	RDM-MR60

If extra power is required, connect an auxiliary 12 VDC power supply as shown in FIG. 28.

Dry Closures

The RE-DM4 and RE-DM6 have two dry closure inputs via a 4-pin mini-phoenix connector. The inputs are an open collector pulled up to 5 VDC. The status is normally open, channel Off, with the closure released. When an input is pulled low to ground and falls below 3 VDC, the AMX Lighting system sees the action as an input closure, the AxLink channel is turned On, and a push sent to the Axcess Central Controller.

Connecting Dry Closures

AMX Lighting controller modules contain four connections for two dry contact closure inputs, and one common reference point. The Radia has two (2) contact closure inputs dedicated to special purposes: Failsafe and Emergency.

Failsafe Input

The failsafe input is provided to facilitate limited stand-alone operation in the event that the AxLink master is no longer functioning. The failsafe input shall function regardless of whether AxLink is working properly or not (i.e. there is no lockout of control).

Operationally, when the failsafe input contact closure is closed (i.e. ON), preset 128 will be recalled. When the failsafe input contact closure is opened, preset 127 will be recalled. Both of these preset recalls occur on the edge of the transition from opened-to-closed to closed-to-opened.

Emergency Input

The emergency input is provided to interface to an alarm system (such as a fire alarm) to set the lighting to an appropriate state for an emergency (e.g. light the path to the exit). The expected operation of the alarm system is to hold (close) the contact closure as long as the alarm is active and release (open) the closure when the alarm is cleared.

Operationally, when the emergency input contact closure is closed (i.e. ON), preset 126 will be recalled. In addition, all other controls of the lighting functions will be disabled as long as the emergency input is closed.

When the emergency input contact closure is opened, normal operation of the Radia will resume.
