Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper, soldering iron, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare
and connect the captive wires.
1.
Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires and apply a light coat of solder to
the ends using a soldering iron.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3.
Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector.
Wiring guidelines
The AXP-CCV and AXM-CCV require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The
AXCESS Control System supplies power via the AXlink cable or external auxiliary
12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring distance between the control system
and camera centers is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the
wire gauge used for the cable. Figure 15 lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths
allowable between the camera centers and control system. The maximum wiring
lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 VDC available at
the control system’s power supply.

Caution
Do not connect power to the
camera center until the wiring
is complete. If you are using a
12 VDC power supply, apply
power to the panel only after
installation is complete.
Caution
Do not over-torque the screw.
Doing so can bend the seating
pin and damage the connector.
