SM+) work with AMX IR-format 38 or 455 kHz wireless transmitters. The AXD-IR+ and AXR-IRSM+ are remote IR receivers used with AMX Axcess Central Controllers and operate via the AXlink bus to remotely control AXlink devices. The AXD-IR+ is in a UniMount wall panel that fits into most US-style single-gang enclosures.

Weight Power Consumption Applications Use the sensors and receivers with AMX transmitters to control devices such as media equipment. Combine several sensors and receivers for large single-area coverage or as discrete units for multiple room installations. FIG. 6 illustrates an application using a sensor, the IRX-SM+ (the application could also use the IRX-DM+).

Wiring and Installation Before installing the sensors and receivers, set the receive frequency on the units. On the receivers, the AXD-IR+ and AXR-IRSM+, also set the AXlink device number and IR validation level. To access the jumper pins or switches on the circuit board assembly in the swivel mount units, separate the housing from the swivel base (see FIG.
Wiring and Installation To receive 455 kHz, position the jumper (both jumpers on the receivers) on the left two pins, pins 1 and 2, away from the edge of the circuit boards, to receive 455 kHz. (This is the default setting.) To receive 38 kHz, position the jumper (both jumpers on the receivers) on the right two pins, pins 2 and 3, near the edge of the circuit boards, to receive 38 kHz.
FIG. 12 DIP switch values and quick reference As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 12 defines device number 129 (1+128=129). If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. This enters the new device number into memory. The device number takes effect only on power-up.
The IR sensor or receiver requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The power is supplied by the AMX system's AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and the receiver or sensor is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable.
Connecting the Wiring The following paragraphs describe wiring connections using AXlink for data and power, using AXlink plus an external 12 VDC power supply, and wiring the IRX-DM+ or IRX-SM+ to the AMX IR receiver. Wiring the AXD-IR+ or the AXR-IRSM+ to AXlink Install the AXlink data/power bus wiring as shown in FIG.
Checking IR Data status Locate the red IR Data LED on the front of the unit. Point the system's AMX transmitter towards the sensor and press a button. The IR Data LED lights when the unit receives data. If the IR Data LED on the unit does not light: Verify that the transmit LED on the transmitter lights when you press a button.
3. Place the panel in the wallbox and align the screw holes with the mounting holes on the panel. 4. If you are installing the IRX-DM+, remove the housing and wire the unit to the AMX IR receiver as shown in Wiring.
Wiring and Installation Mounting the Swivel-Mount Sensor or Receiver FIG. 19 gives dimensions for the AXD-IRSM+ and IRX-SM+. FIG. 19 AXD-IRSM+ and IRX-SM+ dimensions To install the AXD-IR+ or IRX-SM+: Mount the unit according to FIG. 20 for mounting the unit flush to a flat surface without using the mounting bracket (Installation Method A), or FIG.
On drywall, install using the included wall anchors. Use a 3/16-inch drill bit. On wood, install using the included #6 mounting screws. 1. If you are installing the IRX-SM+, remove the housing and wire the unit to the AMX IR receiver as shown in Wiring.
