Introduction FIG. 4 Laser Radiation warning AXR-MSE Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Controller The AXR-MSE is the receiver/processor component of the PC Presenter. The AXR-MSE receives RF or IR signals from the TXC-MS(L) transmitter using the attached RF receiving antenna or an external IR sensor. The AXR-MSE connects between the PC keyboard and mouse cables, and the keyboard and mouse ports on the PC CPU. The AXR-MSE uses a standard four-pin captive wire AXlink connector to connect to an AMX C

Pre-Installation Radio Code Settings Each pushbutton on the TXC-MS(L) transmitter represents an Axcess channel number. All of the pushbuttons on the transmitter represent a group of channel numbers. This grouping is known as a radio code. Use the transmitter DIP switch to assign a unique radio code to this transmitter. Radio codes are important in applications that use more than one transmitter, because each transmitter must be assigned its own unique radio code. This is necessary to avoid i

Pre-Installation The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess, Axcent, Axcent2, Axcent3, AXB-MPE, or AXB-EM232 system. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. AMX assigns device numbers into the following three segments: Cards - 1 through 95 Boxes - 96 through 127 Panels - 128 through 255 The device number takes effect only on power-up. Set the device number by setting the device DIP switch. The device number is the total of all of the switches in t

Pre-Installation Wiring guidelines The AXR-MSE requires 65 mA @ 12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies power via the AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and AXR-MSE is determined by power consumption supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following wiring guidelines table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the AXR-MSE and the Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths for using A
