Installation

Space Requirements

AMX Lighting control installations require very little space. Space for enclosures is the main concern. All
enclosures are mounted flush on a vertical surface, and must have a minimum clearance of 12" (304.8 mm)
above and below to allow for air circulation.

Physical dimensions for each enclosure are described in the RDA Enclosure Dimensions section on page 13.

Wiring Considerations

The following information relates to wiring considerations for a AMX Lighting system.

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.

AxLink wiring between multiple devices

FIG. 10 shows AxLink wiring between AxLink devices.

Power considerations

The following information relates to wiring considerations for an AMX Lighting system.

AxLink connections

In order to establish an AxLink connection for programming, the controller must be connected to a power
source and be powered on. The AMX Lighting system will allow programming after power has been applied.

Once power has been applied and the AMX Lighting controller has established an AxLink connection, the
12VDC supply to the processor will allow program changes if the 120VAC supply is cut off.

Disconnect power to the device at the breaker box until the wiring is complete.

Do not tighten the screws excessively. Doing so may strip the threads and damage
the connector.
