IR Receiver

Overview

The Mio Modero IR (

FG5797-01xx;

 xx indicates color selection) is a remote IR 

receiver for use with NetLinx Central Controllers and operates via the AXlink bus to 
remotely control devices. The Mio Modero IR is in a wall panel that fits into the US-
style single-gang enclosure and most International single-gang enclosures. The Mio 
Modero IR works with AMX 38 kHz and 455 kHz IR transmitters.        

Available Color Schemes

The Mio Modero device family is available in a range of colors. The IR supports these 
color schemes, Black (BL), White (WH), and Beige (BG).

Wiring and Installation

Note: 

Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by 

touching a grounded metal object.

Set the receive AXlink device number before installing the Mio Modero IR. FIG. 2 
illustrates the location of key components on the Mio Modero IR circuit board.

Setting the AXlink Device Number

1.

If connected, disconnect the power supply.

2.

Locate the 8-position Device DIP switch (FIG. 2). 

3.

Set the DIP switch according to the DIP switch values shown below.

The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are 
ON (up).
As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines device number 129 
(1+128=129).  

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink power 
connector to enter the new device number into memory.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the 
captive wires.
1.

Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.

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-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. 

Note:

 

Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage 

the connector.

Wiring Guidelines

The Mio Modero IR requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The power is supplied 
by the AMX system's AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central 
Controller and the receiver 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 receiver and the Central Controller. The 
maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central 
Controller's power supply. If the distance is greater than what is listed in the table, 
consult the 

Mio Modero Device Family Instruction Manual

 for wiring with external 

power sources.
