AXR-RF RF Receiver
Connect only the GND (-) wire on the AXlink connector when using an auxiliary ±12 VDC power
supply. Do not connect the PWR (+) wire to the AXlink connector's PWR (+) terminal on the
Central Controller side of the connector.
Installing the AXR-RF
1.
Set the device DIP switch to assign an AXlink device code to the unit.
2.
Install the wiring for the AXlink bus.
3.
Position the AXR-RF in the location where it will be used. Place the receiver close to, or in the
middle of, the area to be covered. It is recommended that you mount the unit where the antenna
is away from metal obstructions.
4.
Extend the antenna vertically for best reception. If it is necessary to place the antenna in a
remote position, use up to 6 ft. (2 m) of RG-174 coax cable.
5.
Connect the AXR-RF to the Central Controller with the AXlink cable.
6.
Locate the green AXlink LED on the front panel and verify that it flashes once per second. If
so, the AXR-RF is communicating properly with the Central Controller system.
If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AXlink connector and recheck all AXlink
wiring connections. Reconnect the AXlink connector to the AXR-RF and verify the LED is
flashing once per second.
To avoid potential problems with Axcess processing, do not install two or more AXR-
RF devices, using the same RF frequency, in one system. The AXR-RF is available in
frequencies other than 418 MHz (on request).
