AXB-REL8 Axcess Relay Controller

Connection and Wiring

Setting the DEVICE Dip Switch

The eight-position Device DIP switch is located on the front panel of the AXB-REL8 as shown in 

FIG. 1 on page 1. Each device in the AXlink bus must have a unique AXlink device number.

The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess, AXCENT, AXCENT

2

, or AXCENT

3

 system. 

The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. AMX assigns device 

numbers into the following three segments:

Cards    1 through 95

Boxes     96 through 127

Panels    128 through 255

Set the device number by setting the DEVICE DIP switch. The device number is the total of all of 

the switches in the ON (down) position. The following table shows the switch numbers and their 

corresponding values.        

As an example, the following DIP switch (FIG. 2) defines the AXB-REL8 as device number 

97 (1 + 32 + 64 = 97).      

Set the AXB-REL8 device number before connecting AXlink wiring. Do not install relay wiring at 

this time.

Wiring Requirements

The AXB-REL8 uses a four-pin AXlink Central Controller connector for power and data. If the 

distance between the AXB-REL8 and the Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, 

you must connect an optional 12 VDC power supply. Refer to the following section for more 

information.

If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. 
This enters the new device number into memory. The device number takes effect only 
on power-up.
