[. . . ] This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX Corporation or an authorized representative of AMX Corporation has been advised of the possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury. Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. [. . . ] · Two blinks/second indicates the devices specified in the main program do not match the devices found. · Three blinks/second indicates there is an AXlink communication error · Full on indicates there is either no AXlink control/activity (but the power is On) or the Axcess program is not loaded. Rear Panel Components: AXlink connector Device number RF antenna 4-wire captive-wire AXlink connector for the Central Controller provides data and nominal ±12 VDC power. 8-position DIP switch sets the device number for the AXR-RF. Receiving antenna screws into the TXC antenna connector. If it is necessary to place the antenna in a remote position, use up to 6 ft. (2 m. ) of RG-174 coax cable as an extension. Extend the antenna vertically during use. Antenna coaxial connector 418 MHz standard (other frequencies are available) 300 feet (91. 44 m) Molded black matte plastic · Alternate frequencies available · PS2. 8 Power Supply 780 mW; ±12 VDC, 65 mA (max. ) 1. 5" x 5. 09" x 5. 27" (3. 81 cm x 12. 93 cm x 13. 39 cm) 10. 56 oz.

A device number is assigned to devices connected to the AXlink bus. Every device on the bus must have a unique device code. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. AMX assigns device numbers in three groups: !! Axcess Control Cards: 1 - 95 Axcess Bus Boxes: 96 - 127 Axcess Panels/Receivers: 128 - 255 Setting the DIP Switch Locate the device DIP switch on the rear panel of the AXR-RF and set it to the desired binary device number. The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are ON (down). If you change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. This enters the new device number into memory. Although the AXR-RF is a bus device, it should be numbered in the 128-255 range, because it is a receiver. Setting the RF Validation Level An RF transmitter must send repetitions of data for the receiver to accept it as valid data. In some installations, interference and physical structures may interfere with the receiver's ability to detect the transmitted signal. The receiver can be set to use either two or three repetitions of sequential signals to validate and accept the signal data. Position the P3 RF validation jumper to select the number of valid RF data repetitions to be accepted: Rear panel P3 DIP Switch P3 DIP Switch Setting for 3 validations FIG. 1 RF validation jumper settings Setting for 2 validations AXR-RF RF Receiver 3 Installation Wiring Guidelines The AXR-RF requires regulated ±12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies power via the AXlink cable. [. . . ] If it is necessary to place the antenna in a remote position, use up to 6 ft. Connect the AXR-RF to the Central Controller with the AXlink cable. To avoid potential problems with Axcess processing, do not install two or more AXRRF devices, using the same RF frequency, in one system. The AXR-RF is available in frequencies other than 418 MHz (on request). 6. Locate the green AXlink LED on the front panel and verify that it flashes once per second. [. . . ]
