Wiring

The Mio Modero uses a four-pin mini AxLink connector for power and data.
Do not connect power to the Mio Modero until the wiring is complete.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1.
Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and
connector types described in this section.
3.
Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.
Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the
connector.

Wiring Guidelines

The Mio Modero requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is supplied via the AxLink
cable. The maximum AxLink wiring distance is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the
wire gauge used for the cable.
The following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable based on the maximum power
consumption rating of 170 mA.
Wiring Guidelines at 170 mA
Wire Size Maximum Wiring Length
18 AWG
20 AWG
22 AWG
24 AWG
The maximum wiring lengths for using AxLink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available.

Connecting the Wiring

The following paragraphs describe wiring connections for using the AxLink and relay connectors.
If using power from AxLink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before
wiring the Mio Modero.
