Wiring A Power Connection; Using The 4-Pin Mini-Phoenix Connector For Data And Power; Using The 4-Pin Mini-Phoenix Connector For Data With External Power - AMX NXC-ME260/64 Instruction Manual

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cables from
the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on connector (FIG. 5).
1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm connector. Match the wiring locations of the +/- on
both the power supply and the terminal connector.
2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage
the connector.
3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-compliant power supply.

Using the 4-pin Mini-Phoenix Connector For Data With External Power

To use the 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) captive-wire connector for data communication and power transfer, the incoming
PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC-compliant power supply must be connected to the AxLink cable connector going to the
Integrated Controller. FIG. 7 shows the wiring diagram. Always use a local power supply to power the Integrated Controller unit.

NOTE: When you connect an external power supply, do not connect the wire from the PWR terminal (coming from the external device)
to the PWR terminal on the Phoenix connector attached to the Controller unit. Make sure to connect only the AXM, AXP, and GND wires
to the Controller's Phoenix connector when using an external power supply.
Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AxLink/PWR connector when using a separate 12 VDC power supply.

Do not connect the PWR wire to the AxLink connector's PWR (+) opening.
