2.9.7 Connecting a Two-Wire MxBus Cable
You can use such a cable to connect additional MOBOTIX mod-
ules (e.g., the MX-GPS-Box or the MX-232-IO-Box) to the Q26.
Note that you can attach two MxBus cables (each having
two wires) to the MxBus connector (red circle in figure).
Take care not to switch the polarity of the wires. It is rec-
ommended to use the same wire color for +/– for the entire
MxBus system (e.g., red = +, blue = –).
Procedure
1. In case the camera had already been installed, remove the camera so you can access
the connectors on the back.
2. Prepare the MxBus wires : Remove the blue single
wire plug. Strip 5 mm (1/5 in) of insulation from the
wire ends, then push each wire into one of the four
holes in the single wire plug (this prevents humidity
from entering the camera).
3. Connect MxBus wires : Push back the blue single wire
plug so that you can easily attach the MxBus wires.
Attach the MxBus wires by firmly pushing the wires
into the corresponding connectors.
If you need to remove one of the wires, unlock the
connector by pressing on the orange-colored area
using a small screwdriver, then pull out the wire.
4. Close the MxBus connector : Carefully press the single
wire plug into the connector socket and twist the
MxBus wire pairs.
The length of the entire
MxBus wiring must not
exceed 50 m/55 yd.
