AXR-RF RF Receiver

Installation

Configuring the AXR-RF

Use the eight-position DIP switch on, the rear of the AXR-RF, to set the device number. 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).

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 signal may become distorted. The receiver can be set to use either two or

three repetitions of sequential signals to validate and accept the signal data. To set the receiver's RF

level.

1.

Locate jumper pins P3 (FIG. 1) on the circuit board.

2.

Position the P3 RF validation jumper to select the number of valid RF data repetitions to be

accepted:

If you change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. This
enters the new device number into memory.
