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.
AxLink Data and Power Connections
The Mio Modero IR uses a four-pin mini AxLink connector for power and data.
Connect the control system's AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear panel of the Mio
Modero IR for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 14.
For wire prepartaion guidelines, refer to Preparing captive wires section on page 8.
Checking AxLink Status
The AxLink LED, shown in FIG. 12, lights to indicate AxLink power/data status as follows:
If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AxLink connector and recheck all AxLink connections.
Then, reconnect the AxLink connector to the panel and verify the LED is flashing once per second.
