Wiring guidelines The Mio Modero requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is supplied via the AxLink cable. The maximum AxLink wiring distance is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.
Installation Using AxLink for data with an auxiliary power supply Connect the controller’s AxLink connector to the AxLink connector on the rear panel of the Mio Modero device, as shown in FIG. 7. PWR (+) GND (-) FIG. 7 AxLink and 12 VDC power supply wiring diagram If you are not using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the controller before wiring the Mio Modero device.
Installation Mounting Procedures FIG. 8 shows the wallbox mounting dimensions for the single and double style Mio Modero. AMX recommends mounting the Mio Modero in a standard one-gang wallbox, a conduit box per NEC specs section 370, with a minimum internal clearance of 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8" (HWD), but it is possible to mount the Mio Modero to a podium without a wallbox.
Installation FIG. 9 Mio Modero Double Style mounting dimensions Wallbox Mounting 1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface for the Mio Modero. 2. Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power. 3.
FIG. 10 Attaching the faceplate to the mounting frame Podium Mounting 1. Use the cutout dimension shown in either FIG. 8 or FIG. 9 to cutout the mounting frame install surface for the Mio Modero. 2. Confirm that the terminal end of the AxLink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power. 3.
