Device DIP Switch
The eight-position Device DIP switch, shown in FIG. 2, sets the AXlink device number. Every device on the bus must have a unique device code. An eight-position DIP switch is used to set the device number for the AXB-TM5. The device number must match the number assigned in the
Axcess software program. The AXlink device number range is 1-255 and is sent according to the
Device DIP switch positions and their values.
After setting the AXlink device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink connector on the AXB-TM5 to store the new number into memory.
As an example, FIG. 2 is set to 85 (1 + 4 + 16 + 64 = 85), which is the factory default setting.

Wiring the Rear Panel
Preparing/connecting captive wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.
Do not connect power to the AXB-TM5 until the wiring is complete. If you are using power from AXlink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before wiring the
AXB-TM5. If you are using an optional 12 VDC power supply, apply power to the
AXB-TM5 only after installation is complete.
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.
3.
Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
Wiring Guidelines
The AXB-TM5 requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The power can be supplied by the
AMX system's AXlink cable or with an optional 12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring distance between the control system and AXB-TM5 is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the AXB-TM5 and the control system. The maximum wiring lengths are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the control system's power supply.

Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'PIN'
Disables the current ’PON’ (power On) or ’POF’ (power Off) command settings. Channel 255 changes are enabled.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'POD'
Sends IR function 28 (if available) to turn device power off. After three attempts, if the CC-XPS (power sensor) still detects a power-on status, the television controller starts processing stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 28 fails to turn the television's power off, the television controller sends a ’PUSH’ and ’RELEASE’ to channel 248 and generates a power failure error. If the device is turned on manually, this command turns television power off unless the television controller receives a ’PON’ (power On) or ’POD’ (disable
’POF’) command.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND AXBTMX,'POF'
Sends IR function 27 (if available) to turn device power on. After three attempts, if the power sensor (CC-XPS) still detects a power-off status, the television controller starts processing stored buffer commands. Then, if another IR function 27 fails to turn the television's power on, the television controller sends a ’PUSH’ and ’RELEASE’ to channel 248 and generates a power failure error. If the device is turned off manually, this command turns television power on unless the television controller receives a 'POF' (power Off) or 'POD' (disable
