NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS There are NO user serviceable parts within the NXA-PDU-1508-8. The NXA-PDU-1508-8 is intended for indoor use only. DO NOT install or operate the NXA-PDU-1508-8 in an area where the ambient temperature exceeds 40ºC (104ºF) or falls below 0ºC (32ºF). ...
NXA-PDU-1508-8 (110V/220V) Rack-Mounting For safety, the socket-outlet should be installed near the NXA-PDU-1508-8 and must be easily accessible. Before rack mounting the PDU, pay particular attention to the following factors: Temperature: Since the temperature within a rack assembly may be higher than the ambient room temperature, check that the rack-environment temperature is within the specified operating temperature range.

Installation Installation Front Panel Components The front panel components of the NXA-PDU-1508-8 are shown in FIG. 6: AxLink BANK 1 AxLink BANK 2 POWER (Output 1-8 Status) LEDs Status LED Status LED AxLink STATUS LED RESET pushbutton FIG. 6 NXA-PDU-1508-8 - Front Panel Components See the Specifications table for descriptions of the LEDs on the front panel.
Installation MASTER Connector The 3.5mm 4-pin captive-wire AxLink connector labelled “MASTER” provides AxLink connectivity between the PDU and the NetLinx Master (see FIG. 7). This connector is always ON. TEMP Connector The 3.5mm 2-pin captive-wire connector labelled “TEMP” (see FIG. 7) provides the option to connect a Remote Temperature Sensor (RTS).
If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the power connector to enter the new device number into memory. Use the "Dip Switch2" software application to calculate dip switch position values (available to download from www.amx.com). NXA-PDU-1508-8 Power Distribution Unit...
Installation Power Outlets 1-8 The eight 110-220VAC 50/60Hz, IEC C-13, 15A AC Power Outlet Connectors provide AC power to connected devices (see FIG. 7). Maximum load on a single outlet = 10A @ 110-120 VAC / 8A @ 220-240VAC. Power Inlet The IEC C-14, 15A power inlet connector provides 110-220VAC, 50/60Hz mains power to the PDU.
NetLinx Programming NetLinx Programming Device IDs The NXA-PDU-1508-8 uses 8 AxLink device IDs, starting from the device ID denoted by the DIP switch: Dev 1: Output 1 + AxLink Power 1 + Input Voltage + Temperature Dev 2: Output 2 + AxLink Power 2 ...
NetLinx Programming SEND_COMMANDs (Cont.) ?TRIGGER Syntax: ?TRIGGER-<outlet #> Responds with: TRIGGER-<outlet #>=<Power Sense Trigger> to report the trigger value in use on the outlet. Syntax: Responds with: Version (string) - example: "Vx.xx" ZAP! Syntax: ZAP! Restores all settings on the PDU to factory default settings. Unsupported options in responses are ignored / not reported.
"Power Factor " is the ratio of real power to apparent power. For power factor, AMX has added an offset of 100 to the value to cope with the possibility of negative numbers. To obtain the correct value of the power factor, first subtract 100 from the level returned by the PDU, then divide by 100.
