AMX AXB-REL8 Manual De Usuario

To connect the wiring into a captive-wire connector:

Strip 1/4 inch off the wire insulation for all four wires.

Tin 2/3 of the exposed wire.

Insert each wire into the appropriate captive-wire connector up to the insulation.

Tighten the captive screws to secure the fit in the connector.

The AXB-REL8 requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies 

power via the AXlink cable. The maximum AXlink wiring distance between the Central Controller 

and AXB-REL8 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 between the 

AXB-REL8 and the Central Controller, based on the maximum power consumption rating of 170 

mA (all eight relays ON).

The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts 

available at the Central Controller's power supply.       

If the AXB-REL8 is installed farther away from the control system than recommended in the above 

table, connect a 12 VDC power supply to the AXlink connector on the AXB-REL8 rear panel (see 

Wiring AXlink with Optional 12 VDC Power Supply).

The following paragraphs describe wiring connections for using the AXlink and relay connectors.
