Wiring guidelines
Metreau keypads require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is 
supplied via the AxLink or SWT cable. The maximum wiring distance is determined 
by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The 
following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the 
maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.         
The maximum wiring lengths for using AxLink power are based on a minimum of 
13.5 volts available. If the distance is greater than what is listed in the table, consult 
the Metreau Keypads Operation/Reference Guide for wiring with external power 
sources.
AxLink Data and Power Connections
Connect the control system's AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear 
panel of the Metreau Keypad for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 4.    
Using AxLink for Data with an Auxiliary Power Supply
Use an auxiliary 12 VDC power supply when the distance between the controller and 
server exceeds the limits described in the 
 section. Connect only 
the GND (-) wire on the AxLink connector when using an auxiliary 12 VDC power 
supply.
Connect the NetLinx Controller’s AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the 
rear panel of the Metreau keypad, as shown in FIG. 5.
Note: If you are not using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the 
controller before wiring the Metreau keypad. Make sure the auxiliary power supply’s 
PWR (+) is not connected to the controller’s AxLink connector.
AxLink Status LED
The AxLink Status LED (located next to the AxLink connector), lights to indicate 
AxLink power/data status (see Operation / Reference Guide for details).
If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AxLink connector and recheck all 
AxLink connections. Then, reconnect the AxLink connector to the panel and verify 
the LED is flashing once per second.
Mounting Procedures
AMX recommends mounting Metreau keypads in standard U.S.-style decora 
wallboxes: 
Conduit box should meet NEC specs (section 370)
Minimum internal clearance of (HWD) 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8".
Note: Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by 
touching a grounded metal object.
Wallbox Mounting
1.
Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface.
2.
Connect the AxLink connector (or SWT cable connectors) to the rear of the 
keypad.
3.
Place the Mounting Plate on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mount-
ing holes and fasten the Mounting Plate to the wallbox using the screws sup-
plied.
Note: Do not overtighten the screws when mounting the Mounting Frame. The 
device should be flush with mounting surface.
Mounting Dimensions
FIG. 6 provides detailed dimensions for the 7-button Metreau keypads. 
Programming
There are a select number or SEND_COMMANDs the Metreau keypad recognizes. 
For a full list and descriptions, consult the Metreau Keypads Operation/Reference 
Guide
.
Sending Firmware to Metreau Keypads (AxLink)
The Firmware on the AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads (MET-6N, MET-7 and 
MET-13) can be updated via the NetLinx Studio2 application:
Note: Refer to the NetLinx Studio 2 online help for additional details on firmware 
transfers. NetLinx Studio 2 is available for free download from www.amx.com.
1.
Open NetLinx Studio2.
2.
Go to Tools > Firmware Transfers > Send to Axcess Device... This opens 
the Send to Axcess Dialog Window.
3.
Browse to the location of the firmware file.
4.
Select the file within the Files frame.
5.
Click Query for Devices.
6.
Select the Metreau keypad within the Devices frame.
7.
Click Send and then Close.
8.
Upon confirmation of a successful send, you can exit NetLinx Studio2.
Additional Documentation
Refer to the Metreau Keypads Operation/Reference Guide (available online 
www.amx.com) for additional information on configuration, programming and using 
the Metreau keypads.
