Suggested Wire Types For Custom Cables; Axlink - (Local-Area, Low-Power Requirement) - AMX PT10-PLV Instruction Manual

5. Connect the DB-9 port on the AXB-PT10 to the 8-pin mini-DIN REMOTE connector on the
rear of the camera (for systems where the camera is located within 25 m of the CMA-D2).
For systems where the camera is located over 25 m, use the 4-pin captive-wire to mini 8-pin
DIN cable to connect the CMA-D3 to the AXB-EM232 (RS-232 port 1 on the rear panel of the
AXB-EM232). The CMA-D3 can be located up to 100 m from the camera.
6. Use a BNC cable to connect the VIDEO OUT port on the rear of the camera to the BNC
connector on the rear of the AXP-PLV.
7. Connect the CMA-D2 to the DC IN/VBS port on the rear of the camera.
8. Verify there are no obstructions in the horizontal or vertical paths of the attached camera on the
AXB-PT10.
For best performance, mount the AXB-EM232 as close to the CMA-D2 as possible.
9. Plug in the PSN6.5, PS2.8, and CMA-D2 power supplies to their respective outlets.
10. Allow the AXP-PLV touch panel software approximately 20 seconds for initialization and self-
calibration before beginning use.
Do not move the joystick or the focus wheel while the AXP-PLV is displaying its initialization
page. Self-calibration is in progress.
11. Select the video input for camera one by pressing the Camera Station 1 pushbutton located on
the right side of the AXP-PLV touch panel.

Suggested Wire Types For Custom Cables

AXlink is a control network that uses four wires to carry data and power to all remote devices in the
system. Two wires carry a balanced-line data signal; the other two provide ground and +12 VDC
power. Large distributed systems that use long AXlink runs with a maximum of 3,000 feet
(914.4 m) should use low-capacitance (12-14 pF/ft) shielded twisted pair cable.

If you find that the included 100' (30.48 m) AXlink cables are not long enough for your application,
use the wire types suggested below to make custom cables.

AXlink - (local-area, low-power requirement)

22/24 AWG 4-conductor cables can be used for short wiring runs.

The length of an AXlink wire run is equal to the total length of wire used; a star run made
of one 300' section and six 50' sections equals one 600' AXlink line.
AXlink data lines (AXM and AXP) are designed for balance-line operation; wire the data
lines in the same twisted pair.
Use a shielded cable for best results, both to reduce electronic interference radiated by
adjacent wiring and to eliminate noise from AXlink cabling to adjacent audio cabling.
Level 3, 4, or 5 unshielded, twisted pair
Belden 8102, 2 twisted pair, 1 shield 12 pF/ft, PVC and plenum cable available.
