NXA-PDU-1508-8
Power Distribution Unit (110V/220V)
Overview
The NXA-PDU-1508-8 Power Distribution Unit (FG673-01) provides switching of mains
power to each of eight ACRMS 2020 power outlets. The two built-in AxLink bus strips provide
connectivity (AxLink data / power) for up to eight AxLink connections.
Note
: AMX recommends no more than 4 PDUs per master, due to AxLink addressing and
bus traffic.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
There are NO user serviceable parts within the NXA-PDU-1508-8.
•
The NXA-PDU-1508-8 is intended for indoor use only.
•
DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 in an area where the ambient
temperature exceeds 40ºC (104ºF) or falls below 0ºC (32ºF).
•
DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 in an area in which the ambient
relative humidity exceeds 85% or an area that is prone to condensation.
•
DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 near water or in a location which may
be prone to water seepage, dripping or splashing.
•
DO NOT place objects containing liquids on the NXA-PDU-1508-8.
Power Cord Requirements
The NXA-PDU-1508-8 ships with a power cord, except to those countries which prohibit the
shipment of the power cord selected. When selecting a power cord for use in Japan, please
consider the following:
The NXA-PDU-1508-8 requires a type VCTF or HVCTF and 1.25 or 2.0 sq.mm jacketed
power cord with connectors and plugs that are 125V-12A or 125V-15A rated should be used.
Rack-Mounting
Note
: For safety, the PDU should be installed near the socket-outlet providing power (which
must be easily accessible by the PDU's power cord).
Before rack mounting the PDU, pay particular attention to the following factors:
•
Temperature
: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the
ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the
specified operating temperature range.
•
Mechanical Loading
: Do not place any equipment on top of a rack-mounted unit.
•
Circuit Overloading
: Be sure that the supply circuit to the rack assembly is not
overloaded.
•
Grounding
: Rack-mounted equipment should be properly grounded. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
mains.

Power:
Note
: The PDU auto-
senses the voltage of the
supplied power.
• Powered via 110-220 VAC, 50/60Hz mains power on an
IEC-320 C-14 connector
• Required voltage = 110 to 220 VAC, 50/60Hz
• Total Combined Current (including AxLink):
10A at 220V-240V
12A at 110V-120V
• Idle power draw: 1.0W max
AC Current:
• 110-120VAC:
Input: 15A Regulatory Derated Input Current
(North America)12A @ 110 VAC
10A Max Load Per Outlet @ 110VAC

Front Panel Components:
POWER LEDs
(1-8):
Eight green LEDs illuminate to indicate that the associated Power
Outlet (#1 - #8) is in use.
AXLINK Power Status
LEDs:
Two red LEDs illuminate to indicate when the associated AxLink Bus
Strips (Bank 1 or Bank 2) on the PDU are in use.
AXLINK STATUS LED: Green LED illuminates to indicate AxLink communication activity
between the PDU and the NetLinx Master:
• ON - power, no master connection
• OFF - no power
• Blink - powered, communicating with master
RESET pushbutton:
The RESET pushbutton serves as a momentary reset switch for the
MASTER AxLink power connection, as well as a reset switch for the
PDU itself:
• Press/hold for 3 seconds: Resets the MASTER AxLink power
connection (minimum 0.5 second toggle). Note: A master powered
externally from the PDU will not be reset by the RESET pushbutton.
• Press/hold for 17 seconds: Resets the PDU (similar to a full power-
cycle of the unit).
Rear Panel Components:
AXLINK POWER
connectors (8):
A 13.5VDC, 6.5A power supply is provided for AxLink power.
Eight 3.5mm (4-pin) AxLink captive-wire connectors provide power
and data for up to eight AxLink connections.
• AxLink power is switched in two banks of four outputs each.
BANK 1 contains AxLink connectors 1-4
BANK 2 contains AxLink connectors 5-8
• The PDU provides up to 6.5A total across all AxLink outputs.
MASTER connector
3.5mm Phoenix (4-pin) AxLink connector provides connectivity to the
NetLinx Master (always on).
TEMP (RTS) input:
3.5mm Phoenix (2 pin) connector provides connection to a Remote
Temperature Sensor (RTS).
CONFIG DIP Switch:
Eight-position DIP switch sets the AxLink device address.
