  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction The AMX Radia Lighting Control System that supports both the Axcess programming language and PROlink. The AMX Lighting product line is modular by design, and includes a wide variety of integrated dimmer control modules, dimmer modules, and also switch/relay modules. There are also circuit cards that can control dimming and switching of incandescent, fluorescent, neon (cold-cathode), high and low-voltage equipment, loads (motors), electronic and magnetic ballasts.

  • Page 6: Applications

    The dual-platform Axcess and PROlink control architecture can address virtually any number of lighting zones. Entire residential or commercial lighting systems can be manually controlled or fully automated. AMX Lighting systems can also be integrated into existing Axcess presentation/control systems.

    (304.8 mm) above and below to allow for air circulation. Physical dimensions for each enclosure are described in the Installation section. Conduit Conduit runs depend on the enclosures you use and their AMX Lighting modules. All enclosures have conduit knockouts on the top for high-voltage connections, and knockouts on the bottom for low-voltage connections.

  • Page 11: Mounting Amx Lighting Enclosures

    Mounting AMX Lighting Enclosures AMX Lighting enclosures must be mounted on a vertical surface with a minimum of 12" (304.8 mm) clearance above and below the enclosure. FIG. 6 shows the centerline reference points and dimensions. 1. Remove the front cover by removing the screws at the bottom of the enclosure; two tabs suspend the cover from the top.

    To prevent possible personal injury or death, cut off power to the enclosure at the breaker box before attempting to install any AMX Lighting modules. FIG. 15 illustrates the inside of an RDA-ENC6 enclosure and the mounting slots. The modules are positioned in the appropriate slot and secured using the supplied screws.

  • Page 16: Low-Voltage Connections

    Low-Voltage Connections All low-voltage connections must comply with Class 2 wiring codes. The low-voltage area in the AMX Lighting controllers contain connections and DIP switches for AXlink, PROlink, dry closures, and module jack connectors. On the controller cards, low-voltage power for the board is supplied either by line power, optional auxiliary power supply (RDA-PSM), or the +12 VDC pin on the AXlink connector.

  • Page 20: Configuring And Connecting Axlink

    Installation Configuring and connecting AXlink On all AMX Lighting controllers, 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.

  • Page 21: Default Mode (Reset)

    *All other channels are undefined. Default Mode (Reset) Default mode is resetting the AMX Lighting module values to zero and the module then begins to function on the values you previously programmed into the module. If you experience problems after installing a lighting system, you may need to reset the controller module to default mode.

  • Page 22: External Power

    9. Power up the controller enclosure. External power The following table lists the modules that use most of the operating power a AMX Lighting control module can supply. They may require extra power from the AXlink connection, or an external power supply connected to the control module or module(s) when using multiple modules.

  • Page 23: Compatible Ballast Information

    AC-controlled electronic ballasts, DC-controlled electronic ballasts, and ballast interfaces that are compatible with the AMX Lighting Control System. The ballasts listed in this section have been reported to AMX by other parties to be compatible with AMX Lighting dimming systems. AMX has not tested every ballast/ dimmer combination, and cannot verify either compatibility or correct operation.

  • Page 24: Ballast Interfaces And 2-Wire Ballasts

    In some cases, dimmers are wired to ballast interfaces (provided optionally by lighting suppliers), rather than directly to the ballasts. A few interfaces are driven from a standard AMX Lighting incandescent channel, while most use FDB dimming configurations. The following table lists compatible ballast interfaces.
  • Page 25 Glossary Air Gap Switch - A relay or mechanical switch that physically separates a load from the power feed, resulting in an air gap between the contacts. An air gap is a deliberate and noticeable space or disruption in a circuit causing an open condition. AXlink - A four-wire data bus used to transmit and receive data from the AXlink Central Controller to any of 255 devices on the system.
  • Page 26 Glossary Control Current - The current used by a dimmer or switch to perform its function. Each Radia Lighting controller supplies this current to its control ports and each Radia Lighting module uses and requires this current in order to operate the dimmer or switch. Control Port - The four-pin connector on the Radia Lighting controller used for electrical control of the dimmer (or switch) is called the Control Port.
  • Page 27 Glossary Integrated Dimmer Module - A Radia Lighting device that contains both a six-channel master controller and dimmers on the same package. They will have a PROlink address and can be on AXlink. The RDD-DM4/ series and the RDD-DM6/ series are integrated dimmer modules, and they all take up two module spaces.
  • Page 28 Glossary Preset Fade Time - A Radia Lighting default parameter. The amount of time it takes for one preset to begin to fade out and another preset to completely fade in. Preset Ramping - The active preset can be ramped to a different level while retaining the proportions and integrity of the preset scene.
