AXR-RF RF Receiver

Product Information

The AXR-RF Radio Receiver provides wireless reception of AMX radio frequency (RF) 

transmitters. The AXR-RF connects to an Axcess Central Controller with an AXlink, 4-pin captive-

wire connector. When required for large areas, or multiple-room coverage, multiple receivers can 

be connected in parallel on the AXlink bus.

Specifications

Power Consumption

780 mW; ±12 VDC, 65 mA (max.)

Dimensions (HWD)

1.5" x 5.09" x 5.27" (3.81 cm x 12.93 cm x 13.39 cm)

Weight

10.56 oz. (299.37 g)

Front Panel Components:

Radio data LED

Red LED lights to indicate the AXR-RF has received an RF signal from an AMX 
transmitter.

AXlink LED

Green LED that lights to indicate AXlink power/data status as follows:

• One blink/second indicates power is active and AXlink communication is 

working.

• Two blinks/second indicates the devices specified in the main program do not 

match the devices found.

• Three blinks/second indicates there is an AXlink communication error

• Full on indicates there is either no AXlink control/activity (but the power is On) 

or the Axcess program is not loaded.

Rear Panel Components:

AXlink connector

4-wire captive-wire AXlink connector for the Central Controller provides data 
and nominal ±12 VDC power.

Device number

8-position DIP switch sets the device number for the AXR-RF.

RF antenna

Receiving antenna screws into the TXC antenna connector. If it is necessary to 
place the antenna in a remote position, use up to 6 ft. (2 m.) of RG-174 coax 
cable as an extension. Extend the antenna vertically during use.

TXC antenna connector

Antenna coaxial connector
