Modes and Front Panel LED Blink Patterns
The following table lists the modes for the ME260 and blink patterns displayed on the front panel
LEDs for each mode. These patterns are not evident until after the unit is powered.
Wiring Guidelines
The Master card requires 12 VDC power from either a PSN2.8, PSN4.4, or a PSN6.5 NetLinx
Power Supply to operate properly. The NXC-ME260 connects to the power supply via a 2-pin
3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector located on the faceplate.
Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of 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 wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively;
doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
