Configuration and Installation Configuration and Installation Setting the Device DIP Switch The 8-position DEVICE DIP switch sets the AXlink identification number for the AXB-CAM. Make sure the device number matches the number assigned in the AXCESS software program. When you set the first device number on the DEVICE DIP switch, the AXB-IRS4 automatically assigns the next three device numbers. For example, if you set the DEVICE DIP switch to 97 (1+32+64=97) as shown below, the AXB-IRS4 sets

Configuration and Installation Positions 1-4: Carrier signal enable/disable DIP Switch positions 1-4 on the CARRIER/BAUD DIP switch determine wether the AXB-IRS4 transmits carrier signals along with the IR equipment codes. ! If DIP switch positions 1 through 4 are set to the up position, the carrier signal is enabled and the AXB-IRS4 transmits IR equipment codes at device-specific signal frequencies. ! If DIP switch positions 1 through 4 are set to NC (down), the carrier signal is disabled a

Configuration and Installation Setting the Internal Jumpers (E1 and E2) for AXlink or RS-232 Communication Internal jumpers are located on the circuit card inside the AXB-IRS4 enclosure. You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver to open the enclosure. Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before removing the AXB-IRS4 circuit card from the enclosure, discharge any accumulated static electricity from your body and the screwdriver by touching a properly grounded metal object. Remo

Configuration and Installation Connecting an IR device IR devices connect to the AXB-IRS4 with an IR device cable. The cables supplied with the AXB- IRS4 are designed to accommodate the IR devices in your system. IR cables have a two-pin connector on one end that plugs into the AXB-IRS4, and the other end has a device-specific interface adapter such as an IR emitter. Connect IR devices to the AXB-IRS4 as shown in FIG. 10. GND IR emitter IR IR/Serial connector on AXB-IRS4 IR device GND SER FIG

Configuration and Installation Contact your AMX dealer before you replace the lithium battery and verify that they have a current copy of the AXCESS program for your AXB-IRS4. This will avoid any inadvertent loss of data or a service outage. You will need a flat-blade tool (non-conducting) that can be slipped under the lithium battery to pry it up and out of the socket. Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry. Before removing the lithium battery from the enclosure, discharge any a

Programming Programming Channel Setting Commands The AXB-IRS4 channel settings listed in the following table set IR output channels. The AXB- IRS4 can process up to two IR or serial device channel setting commands simultaneously. If more than two device commands are sent simultaneously, only the first two devices receive the commands. The AXB-IRS4 can also be controlled with older SX-DCU+ RS-232 protocols.

Programming Send Commands (Cont.) Command Description 'CH',channel number Transmit the IR pulses that select the proper channel. Enter all channel numbers below 100 as two digits. For example, enter channel 1 as 01. If the IR code for ENTER (#21) is loaded, an ENTER follows the number. If the channel is greater or equal to 100, the IR Function Number (FN) 127 is generated for the one-hundredth digit. Variable: channel number = 1-199 Example: SEND_COMMAND 2, "'CH',18" The AXB-IRS4 performs th
