Dry Closures

Each AMX Lighting controller has a 9-pin captive screw connector for use as a dry closure input.
One connection is for a common ground and the rest are for the eight dry closure inputs.

The inputs are an open collector pulled up to 5 VDC. The status is normally open, channel Off,
closure released. When an input is pulled low to ground and falls below 3 VDC, the AMX Lighting
system sees the action as an input closure and the AXlink channel is turned On and a push sent to
the Axcess Central Controller.

Configuring and connecting AXlink

The DIP switch SW1 sets the AXlink device number. The device number is determined by the
value of all the switch position settings. The following table shows the SW1 DIP switch positions
and their values. The device number assignment range is 1 through 255.
Power Off the unit before setting the DIP switch
To set DIP switch SW1 and connect AXlink:
1. Power Off the unit at the circuit breaker.
2. Locate the SW1 DIP switch (marked AXLINK ADDRESS) and set the device number using
the values shown above.
