processing hardware controls. For additional information and specifications, go to

NOTES:

• 

EXP-enabled devices are devices that contain an Extron EXP port for routing 16 bidirectional channels of digital audio.

• 

In this guide, “EXP-enabled devices” and “EXP devices” are used interchangeably.

Disconnect Power and Mount the AXI 016

Connecting the External Power Supply

ATTENTION:

• 

Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory 
compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• 

Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie par Extron. L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée 
annule toute conformité réglementaire et peut endommager la source d’alimentation ainsi que l’unité.
