The NX-3200 is designed for rack mounting or placement on a flat surface. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

• For rack mounting, secure the controller using appropriate rack ears and screws (sold separately or included in package).
• When placing on a surface, ensure it is stable and free from obstructions to airflow.

5.2 Nsopọ Agbara

1. Connect the provided 12VDC power supply to the PWR input on the rear panel.
2. So ipese agbara sinu ibudo ina ti o yẹ.
3. The controller will power on automatically. Observe the STATUS LED on the front panel.

5.3 Awọn isopọ nẹtiwọki

The NX-3200 features Dual NIC for enhanced network security and flexibility.

• ICS LAN: Connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the ICS LAN port for control network communication.
• LAN 10/100: Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN 10/100 port for a secondary network connection, if required for specific applications or network segmentation.

5.4 Connecting Control Devices

Connect your AV equipment, HVAC systems, lighting, and other devices to the appropriate ports on the rear panel.

• Serial Devices: Use RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 ports as needed. Refer to the device's documentation for wiring requirements.
• Relay Devices: Connect devices requiring contact closure to the Relay ports.
• I/O Devices: Connect sensors or other input/output devices to the I/O ports.
• IR Emitters: Connect IR emitters to the IR/Serial ports for controlling IR-controlled equipment.

5.5 Iṣeto ni ibẹrẹ

Initial configuration is typically performed using AMX programming software via the TO PC USB port or over the network.

1. Connect a computer to the TO PC USB port on the front panel using a standard USB cable.
2. Install the necessary AMX software (e.g., NetLinx Studio) on your computer.
3. Follow the software instructions to discover the controller and upload your control program.
4. Alternatively, if the controller has a default IP address or is configured for DHCP, it can be accessed over the network.
