Product Information Product Information The AMX infrared (IR) sensors and receivers (AXD-IR+, AXR-IRSM+, IRX-DM+, and IRXSM+) work with AMX IR-format 38 or 455 kHz wireless transmitters. The AXD-IR+ and AXR-IRSM+ are remote IR receivers used with AMX Axcess Central Controllers and operate via the AXlink bus to remotely control AXlink devices. The AXD-IR+ is in a UniMount wall panel that fits into most US-style single-gang enclosures.
Product Information The swivel-mount units: ! Install on the ceiling or wall, and can be positioned horizontally or vertically ! Swivel for best IR reception and protection from fluorescent interference Specifications: Sensors and Receivers AXD-IR+ FIG. 2 shows the AXD-IR+ Decor IR receiver. FIG. 2 AXD-IR+ Decor IR receiver The following table lists the AXD-IR+ specifications: AXD-IR+ Specifications Mounting: Mounts into most US-style single-gang enclosures. Dimensions (HWD): 4.5" x 3.18" x 1.
Product Information The following table lists the AXR-IRSM+ specifications. AXR-IRSM+ Specifications Enclosure Neutral off-white metal enclosure Mounting May be used without the wall bracket for flush mounting. Comes with full set of mounting screws and wall anchors. Dimensions (HWD) 2.0" x 3.3" x 2.6" (51 mm x 84 mm x 66 mm) Weight 5.6 oz. (174 grams) Power Consumption 35 mA IRX-DM+ FIG. 4 shows the IRX-DM+ Decor IR sensor. FIG.
Product Information The following table lists the IRX-SM+ specifications:. IRX-SM+ Specifications Enclosure Neutral off-white metal enclosure Mounting May be used without the wall bracket for flush mounting. Comes with full set of mounting screws and wall anchors. Dimensions (HWD) 2.0" x 3.3" x 2.6" (51 mm x 84 mm x 66 mm) Weight 4.8 oz. (149 grams) Power Consumption 25 mA Applications Use the sensors and receivers with AMX transmitters to control devices such as media equipment.
Product Information FIG. 7 illustrates an application using a receiver, the AXD-IR+ (the application could also use the AXR-IRSM+). AXD-IR+ AXlink AXCESS CardFrame Controlled devices FIG.
Product Information 6 IR Sensors and Receivers
Wiring and Installation Wiring and Installation Before installing the sensors and receivers, set the receive frequency on the units. On the receivers, the AXD-IR+ and AXR-IRSM+, also set the AXlink device number and IR validation level. To access the jumper pins or switches on the circuit board assembly in the swivel mount units, separate the housing from the swivel base (see FIG. 8). Swivel mount base Housing Circuit board assembly FIG.
Wiring and Installation ! To receive 455 kHz, position the jumper (both jumpers on the receivers) on the left two pins, pins 1 and 2, away from the edge of the circuit boards, to receive 455 kHz. (This is the default setting.) ! To receive 38 kHz, position the jumper (both jumpers on the receivers) on the right two pins, pins 2 and 3, near the edge of the circuit boards, to receive 38 kHz. IR SNSR 38/455 kHz IR SNSR 38/455 kHz Setting for 455 kHz Setting for 38 kHz (default) FIG.
Wiring and Installation FIG. 12 DIP switch values and quick reference As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 12 defines device number 129 (1+128=129). If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector. This enters the new device number into memory. The device number takes effect only on power-up. 3. Go on to Setting the IR Validation Level below. Setting the IR Validation Level An IR transmitter must send repetitions of data for the receiver to accept it as valid data.
Wiring and Installation Wiring the IR Sensors and Receivers The IR Sensors and Receivers use a four-pin AXlink connector for power and data. If the distance between the panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you can connect a local 12 VDC power supply to the AXlink connector. FIG. 14 shows the location of the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the IR sensors and receivers. Sensor circuit board assembly AXlink connector Receiver circuit board assembly FIG.
Wiring and Installation the receiver or sensor and the Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central Controller's power supply. Wiring Specifications Maximum Wiring Length Wire Size IR Sensors IR Receivers 18 AWG 4,696 feet (1431.34 m) 3,354 feet (1022.30 m) 20 AWG 2,970 feet (905.26 m) 2,121 feet (646.48 m) 22 AWG 1,851 feet (564.18 m) 1,314 feet (400.511 m) 24 AWG 1,167 feet (355.70 m) 833 feet (253.
Wiring and Installation Use a 12 VDC power supply when the distance between the Central Controller and the sensors or receivers exceeds the limits described in the Wiring Specifications table above. Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AXlink connector when using a 12 VDC power supply.
Wiring and Installation If the LED is on and not flashing, disconnect the AXlink connector and recheck all AXlink connections. Afterward, reconnect the AXlink connector to the panel and verify the LED is flashing once per second. Mounting the UniMount Sensor or Receiver FIG. 18 gives cutout dimensions for the AXD-IR+ and IRX-DM+. To install the AXD-IR+ or IRXDM+, complete the following steps. 1.
Wiring and Installation Mounting the Swivel-Mount Sensor or Receiver FIG. 19 gives dimensions for the AXD-IRSM+ and IRX-SM+. FIG. 19 AXD-IRSM+ and IRX-SM+ dimensions To install the AXD-IR+ or IRX-SM+: Mount the unit according to FIG. 20 for mounting the unit flush to a flat surface without using the mounting bracket (Installation Method A), or FIG. 21 for mounting the unit using the mounting bracket (Installation Method B).
Wiring and Installation FIG. 20 Installation Method A Two #6 nylon screw anchors and two #6 x 1-inch long screws are provided with each unit. Installation method B Use when installing a swivel-mount unit using the provided mounting bracket. FIG. 21 Installation method B ! On drywall, install using the included wall anchors. Use a 3/16-inch drill bit. ! On wood, install using the included #6 mounting screws. 1.
Wiring and Installation a. Connect the unit to AXlink data/power bus. b. Check the AXlink LED. (LED should blink once per second.). c. Replace the housing. 3. Check that the IR receiver is on and is supplying power to the sensor.
