NXA-PDU-1508-8 NXA-PDU-1508-8 Overview The NXA-PDU-1508-8 Power Distribution Unit - 240V / 10A (FG673-02) provides switching of mains power to each of eight AC power outlets. The two built-in AxLink bus strips provide connectivity (AxLink data / power) for up to eight AxLink connections. AxLink BANK 1 AxLink BANK 2 Status LED...
• Removable rack ears • Safety Fuse: 10A @ 240VAC Note: When replacing the fuse, use only a 10A 240V Slo-Blo fuse Other AMX Equipment: • ENV-VST-TSF Flush-Mount Indoor Temperature Sensor (FG2050-21) • NEMA to C14 Power Cable (FG10-673-02) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ...
NXA-PDU-1508-8 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. 4: AxLink BANK 1 AxLink BANK 2 POWER (Output 1-8 Status) LEDs Status LED Status LED AxLink STATUS LED RESET pushbutton FIG. 4 NXA-PDU-1508-8 - Front Panel Components See the Specifications table for descriptions of the LEDs on the front panel.
Installation AXLINK POWER Connectors 1-8 The 8 AxLink connectors (labelled “AXLINK POWER” are standard 4-pin AxLink captive-wire connectors that provide data and power to up to 8 AxLink devices. (FIG. 6): FIG. 6 AxLink Connectors 1-8 The AxLink device connectors are separated into two Banks: ...
Installation Preparing Captive Wires Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws;...
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). Power Outlets 1-8 The eight 100-240VAC 50/60 Hz, IEC C-13, 10A AC Power Outlet Connectors provide AC power to connected devices (FIG.
Installation Power Inlet The IEC C-14, 10A Power Inlet Connector provides 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz mains power to the PDU (FIG. 11). The PDU measures the main input voltage with an accuracy of 1VAC The Power Inlet Connector is equipped with a safety fuse (10A @ 240VAC) When replacing the fuse, use only a 10A 240V Slo-Blo fuse Powering On the NXA-PDU-1508-8 When power is applied to the PDU for the first time, the outlets are powered in sequence (1-8), with a delay of...

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 #>=<Power Sense Trigger> Sets the Power Sense Trigger of the specified outlet to the specified value in tenths of Watts. Note: A "Trigger" is a current level which will cause a power sense channel to activate if the current exceeds the value.
"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.
