Low-Voltage Connections

The low-voltage area in the AMX Lighting controllers contain connections and DIP switches for AXLink and dry closures. On the controller cards, low-voltage power for the board is supplied either by line power, optional auxiliary power supply (RDA- PSM), or the +12 VDC pin on the AXLink connector.

FIG. 4 Low-voltage connections and DIP switches

WARNING: Disconnect the main power to the AMX Lighting controller at the breaker box before rewiring the low voltage connections.

Setting AXlink Address Numbers

Set the AXLink address number (1-255) for the RE-DM6. This number must match the number in your Axcess program.

Note: By turning all switches off, all circuits will go to 100 percent so that the installer can test the high-voltage connections without having connections to a control system.

Connecting AXlink

Connect the 4-pin captive-wire AXlink connector from the RE-DM6 to the Central Controller for AXlink control of the dimming system (FIG. 5).
