Connecting to the Controller
Power guidelines
The AXR-NWS requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. Power is supplied by the control
system’s AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Controller and Server is
determined by power consumption, available voltage, and cable wire gauge. The following table
lists wire size and maximum lengths allowable between the AXR-NWS and the Central Controller.
Maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the control system’s
power supply output.
Using AXlink for data and power
Connect the AXlink connector to the AXlink port on the rear of the AXR-NWS for data and power
(FIG. 5), using mini- and standard 4-pin captive-screw type connectors.
