The distance between the external AMX equipment and the AXB-MPE+ is 3, 000 feet (914 meters) for AXlink data communication. If the AMX equipment requires supplemental power, refer to the associated product manual's to determine if supplement power is required. 12 four-terminal connectors for captive wire compression Two 4-pin modular telco connectors · 11. 8 to 16V DC, 150mA (maximum draw) · 2-pin connector for captive wire compression · 1. 72" x 19. 00"(with rack ears) x 12. 09" (4. 37 cm x 48. 26 cm x 30. 71 cm) · One standard rack unit high. ! 1 stop bit 8 data bits No parity 38. 4K baud To reset the DIP switch to its default settings, place all switches in the ON position. 6 AXB-MPE+ Master Port Expander and AXB-SPE Slave Port Expander Installation and Configuration Configuring the MPE+ to use One or Two AXC-EM Cards The AXB-MPE+ Master Port Expander uses one AXC-EM master card. If you are using an AXC-MPE+ Master Port Expander and want to upgrade the unit to use two AXC-EMs: 1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object. Remove the two Phillips-head screws from the top panel on the AXB-MPE+, and slide the panel backward to access the AXC-EM Master Cards (FIG. Locate the Jumper location (JP1A and JP1B) between the AXC-EM internal connection ports. AXC-EM Card #2 AXC-EM Card #1 Dual/Single Master Expander jumpers (JP1A and JP1B) JP1B jumper JP1A jumper FIG. 3 MPE+ internal locations for AXC-EM cards and respective jumpers 4. To set the Port Expander to use one master, place the jumper from JP1A on pins 1 and 2 (SINGLE) and verify that the jumper from JP1B is also on pins 1 and 2. This setting allows the user to program the single AXC-EM card using either the front or rear Program ports. Refer to the Programming the AXB-MPE+ (One AXC-EM Card) section on page 11 for more information. To set the Port Expander to use two master, place the jumper from JP1A on pins 2 and 3 (DUAL) and verify that the jumper from JP1B is also on pins 2 and 3. Refer to the Programming the AXB-MPE+ Dual Master Port Expander (Two AXC-EM Cards) section on page 12 for more information. 3) using the front Program port on the MPE+ and AXC-EM Card #2 (see FIG. 3) using the rear Program port on the MPE+. AXB-MPE+ Master Port Expander and AXB-SPE Slave Port Expander 7 Installation and Configuration Wiring the AXB-MPE+ and AXB-SPE You must connect a 12 VDC power supply to the AXB-MPE+ and AXB-SPE to control external equipment. If you connect external AMX equipment, refer to the associated AMX manuals for wiring and power supply information. Guidelines The AXB-MPE+ and AXB-SPE requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The maximum wiring distance between the control equipment and external equipment is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13. 5 volts available at the AXB-MPE+'s and AXB-SPE's power supply. [. . . ] Remove the two Phillips-head screws from the top panel on the AXB-MPE+, and slide the panel backward to access the AXC-EM Master Cards. Carefully pry the memory ICs out of their sockets labeled U1 and U2 on card 1 and card 2 (if applicable) with a non-conducting flat-blade tool, and install the new memory ICs as shown in FIG. Return the AXB-EM+ to the equipment rack and reconnect all the connectors removed in step 2. Installing the AXB-MPE+, AXB-SPE, and External Equipment Install the AXB-MPE+ into a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied rack kit: 1. Mount the external AMX equipment where it will be used. AXCESS Programming You can program the AXC-EM Master Cards in the AXB-MPE+ with an AXCESS software program to control a wide variety of audiovisual, lighting, and audio equipment. [. . . ]
