Each device in the AXlink bus must have a unique AXlink device number. If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. The device number takes effect only on power-up. The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess, AXCENT, AXCENT2, or AXCENT3 system. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. ! Cards Boxes Panels 1 through 95 96 through 127 128 through 255 Set the device number by setting the DEVICE DIP switch. [. . . ] 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. Wiring Guidelines at 170 mA Wire Size Maximum Wiring Length 18 AWG 20 AWG 22 AWG 24 AWG 690. 42 feet (210. 43 m) 436. 80 feet (133. 13 m) 272. 33 feet (83. 00 m) 171. 66 feet (52. 32 m) 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). Connecting the Wiring The following paragraphs describe wiring connections for using the AXlink and relay connectors. If using power from AXlink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before wiring the AXB-REL8. 4 AXB-REL8 Axcess Relay Controller Connection and Wiring AXlink data and power connections Connect the control system's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the AXB-REL8 for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 3 AXlink wiring Central Controller PWR + AXP/TX AXM/RX GND - Wiring AXlink with optional 12 VDC power supply Connect the control system's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the AXB-REL8 as shown in FIG.
