Wiring guidelines

The AXB-F117 requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The power can be
supplied by the AMX Control System's AXlink cable or with an optional 12 VDC
power supply. The maximum wiring distance between the control system and
AXB-F117 unit is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the
wire gauge used for the cable. Figure 21 lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths
allowable between the AXB-F117 and AMX Control System. The maximum wiring
lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the power supply output
connector.
To reduce the possible effects of ground loop noise in the video, use a single-source
power supply mounted within 20 feet of the AXB-F117.

The wiring distances listed in Figure 21 are based on 6 amps (maximum) to
accommodate power spikes that can occur during the initial power-up of the
Stealth 1 pan/tilt motors. The Stealth 1 power consumption rating is substantially
less than 6 amps during normal operating conditions.

Using the AXlink 4-pin connector

The AXlink 4-pin connector can be wired for data and power, data and local 12
VDC power supply, and external RS-232 control device or a PC.
