Changing Buttons

The Mio Modero Classic is shipped with "installation" buttons; they are intended to be place holders until your engraved buttons, designed with KeypadBuilder, arrive.

To switch out "installation" buttons:

1. Pry the button using the slot on the front of the "installation" buttons to remove them from the Mio Modero.
2. Select the location of the custom buttons and snap them into place. Be sure to note the orientation of the white insert on the back of the button, the notch must be down. Insert the bottom of the button first and then push the top into place.
3. Snap the faceplate on the mounting frame.

To change custom buttons:

1. If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2. If connected to mounting frame, place a flathead screwdriver in the notch at the bottom right of the Mio Modero, and pry the faceplate from the mounting frame.
3. On the back of the faceplate locate the button access points, outlined with white circles. Using a straightened paperclip, poke through the button access points until the buttons pop free.
4. Snap the desired custom buttons into place. Be sure to note the orientation of the white insert on the back of the button, the notch must be down. Insert the bottom of the button first and then push the top into place.
5. If the power supply was disconnected in Step 1, reconnect and return power to the device.
6. Snap the faceplate on the mounting frame.
Be certain to reprogram the Mio Modero to match the new button arrangement; use KeypadBuilder to assign the locations. See the KeypadBuilder Instruction Manual available at www.amx.com.

Setting The AXlink Device Number

1. If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2. Locate the 8-position Device DIP switch on the rear panel.(FIG. 3).
3. Set the DIP switch according to the switch values shown below.
Switch 12345678
Value 12481632 64128
The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are ON (up).
As an example, the DIP switch in FIG. 3 defines device number 129 (1+128=129).
If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AXlink power connector to enter the new device number into memory.
Note: AMX has created Dip Switch2 to assist in calculating dip switch position values. Download the program Dip Switch2 from www.amx.com for free.

Wiring

The Mio Modero uses a four-pin mini AXlink connector for power and data.
Caution: Do not connect power to the Mio Modero until the wiring is complete.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) 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. Turn the flat-head screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector.
Note: Do not over-torque the screws; doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.

Wiring guidelines

The Mio Modero requires 12 VDC power to operate properly. The necessary power is supplied via the AXlink cable. The maximum AXlink wiring distance 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 based on the maximum power consumption rating of 170 mA.
Wiring Guidelines at 170 mA
Wire Size Maximum Wiring Length
18 AWG 690.42 feet (210.43 m)
20 AWG 436.80 feet (133.13 m)
22 AWG 272.33 feet (83.00 m)
24 AWG 171.66 feet (52.32 m)
The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available. If the distance is greater than what is listed in the table, consult the Mio Modero Device Family Instruction Manual for wiring with external power sources.

Connecting the Wiring

Caution: If using power from AXlink, disconnect the wiring from the control system before wiring the Mio Modero.

AXlink Data and Power Connections

Connect the control system's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the rear panel of the Mio Modero for data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 4.

Podium Mounting

1. The necessary area for the mounting frame opening is 2.00 x 2.25; cutout the mounting frame install surface to accommodate the Mio Modero.
2. Confirm that the terminal end of the AXlink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
3. If the faceplate is connected to the mounting frame, place a flathead screw­driver in the notch at the bottom right of the Mio Modero, and pry the faceplate from the mounting frame.
4. With the mounting frame resting in the cutout area, drill the mounting holes into the flat surface.
Note: Do not overtighten the screws when mounting the mounting frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.
5. Connect the AXlink power supply. The connector passes through the center of the mounting frame and connects to the board. The connection is illustrated in FIG. 2.
6. Attach the faceplate to the mounting frame first at the top and swing it to the bottom. See FIG. 5.

Mounting Procedures

AMX recommends mounting the Mio Modero in a standard one-gang wallbox, a conduit box per NEC specs section 370, with a minimum internal clearance of 2-5/8" x 1-3/4" x 1-5/8" (HWD), but it is possible to mount the Mio Modero to a podium without a wallbox. More installation details are available in the Mio Modero Device Family instruction manual.

Wallbox Mounting

1. Use the cutout dimension for the wallbox to cutout the install surface for the Mio Modero.
2. Confirm that the terminal end of the AXlink cable is disconnected, and not receiving power.
3. If the faceplate is connected to the mounting frame, place a flathead screw­driver in the notch at the bottom right of the Mio Modero, and pry the faceplate from the mounting frame.
4. Connect the AXlink power supply. The connector passes through the center of the mounting frame and connects to the board. The connection is illustrated in FIG. 2.
5. Place the mounting frame on the wallbox; align the screw holes with the mount­ing holes on the panel, and fasten the mounting frame to the wallbox using the screws supplied.
Note: Do not overtighten the screws when mounting the mounting frame. The device should be flush with mounting surface.
6. Attach the faceplate to the mounting frame first at the top and swing it to the bottom. See FIG. 5
