IR/SERIAL connector (male)
NOTE:
The maximum baud rate for ports using DATA mode is 19200. Also, DATA mode works best when using a short cable length
(< 10 feet).
NOTE:
For each data signal, the negative (-) terminal is for Signal GND, and the positive (+) terminal is for IR/Serial data.
The IR/Serial connector wiring specifications are listed in the following table.
FIG. 45
AxLink Ports and LEDs
The (green) AxLink LED indicates AxLink data activity:
Off
- No power, or the controller is not functioning properly.
1 blink per second
- Normal operation.
3 blinks per second
- AxLink bus error. Check all AxLink bus connections.
The AxLink port can be used to supply power to downstream AxLink-compatible devices as long as the maximum current draw is
less than 0.5 Amps on the NCITE-813AC. To isolate the central controller from high in-rush current, AxLink devices, or potential
power faults on the AxLink bus, it is strongly recommended that you power external AxLink devices from an independent power
supply.
NOTE:
The AxLink port provides only limited power to connected AxLink devices. It is recommended to use an alternate power
source when connecting AxLink devices to the central controller.
IMPORTANT: The NCITE-813AC CANNOT be powered via the AxLink port. The +12V pin on the AxLink connectors are designed only
for voltage output. Do NOT c12V from a power supply or the NXA-PDU to the +12V pin on the AxLink connectors, or you
may permanently damage the NCITE-813AC and/or the power supply.
Refer to the following table for the wiring length information used with the AxLink port:
Wiring and Device Connections
IR/SERIAL Port: Connections and Wiring
The IR/SERIAL ports provide IR transmit/one-way serial connections that support high-frequency carriers up to 1.142 MHz.
You can simultaneously generate up to four IR/Serial data signals on the NCITE-813AC.
These ports accept an IR Emitter (CC-NIRC) that mounts onto the device’s IR window, or a mini-plug (CC-NSER) that connects
to the device’s control jack. You can also connect a data 0 - 5 VDC device to these ports. FIG. 44 displays the IR/SERIAL ports
for the NCITE-813AC.
AxLink Port and LED (4-pin captive-wire)
The AxLink port allows the central controller to support AMX AxLink devices.
