AXIS Q6054 PTZ Dome Network Camera
Axis multicable
Axis multicable
When connecting external equipment to the Axis product, an Axis multicable is required in order to maintain the product’s IP rating.
The Axis multicable can be purchased from your Axis reseller. To locate the multi-connector, see
.
The multicable provides the following connectors:
Power connector -
3-pin terminal block used for power input. Use a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) compliant limited power source
(LPS) with either a rated output power limited to
≤
100 W or a rated output current limited to
≤
5 A.
Audio in (pink) -
3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).
Audio out (green) -
3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker
with a built-in amplifier. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
I/O terminal connector -
Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event
triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notifications. In addition to the 0 V DC reference point and power (DC output), the I/O
connector provides the interface to:
•
Digital output — For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the
VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output
will show as active (shown under
System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status
) if the alarm device is activated.
•
Digital input — An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for
example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and
the input becomes active (shown under
System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status
).

Can be used to power auxiliary equipment.
Note: This pin can only be used as power out.
3.3 V DC
Max load = 250 mA
Digital input – Connect to pin 1 to activate, or leave
floating (unconnected) to deactivate.
0 to max 40 V DC
Configurable (Input

3–6
Digital output – Connected to pin 1 when activated,
floating (unconnected) when deactivated. If used with
an inductive load, e.g. a relay, a diode must be connected
in parallel with the load, for protection against voltage
transients.
0 to max 40 V DC, open
drain, 100 mA
