NXF CardFrame and NetModules
5 NetLinx Cardframe, Control Cards, and NetModules
Installing Control Cards into an NXF CardFrame
1. Remove the magnetic front faceplate/viewing window from the CardFrame.
2. Align the edge of the Control Card with a slot in the CardFrame. Slide the card into the CardFrame and
press until you feel the Card seat in the backplane connector.
3. Put the magnetic faceplate back on the CardFrame. Secure with mounting screws (if necessary).
Preparing/connecting captive wires
1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring diagrams and
connector types described in this section.
3. Tighten the screws to secure the wires in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so
may strip the threads and damage the connector.
Using the ID button
The ID Button on the rear panel of the NetModules (see FIG. 2) is used in conjunction with the NetLinx Studio
software program to allow you to assign new Device and System numbers for the Module.
1. Using NetLinx Studio, place the system in Identity (ID) Mode. ID Mode means the entire system is put
on hold while it waits for an event from any NetLinx device in the named system (for example, pushing
the ID button on a Module). The device generating the first event is the identified device.
2. Press the ID Mode button to generate an event from the Module and allow you to assign new Device and
System numbers in NetLinx Studio.
