Product Information Product Information The AMX infrared (IR) sensors and receivers (AXD-IR+, AXR-IRSM+, IRX-DM+, and IRX- 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. The AXR-IRSM+ is in a swivel-mount enclosure for wall or

Wiring and Installation 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. 8).

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.

Wiring and Installation 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. 3. Go on to Setting the IR Validation Level below. Setting the IR Validation Level An IR transmitter must send repetitions of data for the receiver to accept it as valid

Wiring and Installation Wiring the IR Sensors and Receivers The IR Sensors and Receivers use a four-pin AXlink connector for power and data. If the distance between the panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you can connect a local 12 VDC power supply to the AXlink connector. FIG. 14 shows the location of the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the IR sensors and receivers. Sensor circuit board assembly AXlink connector Receiver circuit board assembly FIG. 14 Circui
