===== AX Wall Mount Controller =====
The interface connector's 12V has insufficient current to power the AX Controller. In this case the tower panel will have a DIN rail mounted power supply to provide operating current for the controller. The data cable should have at least 18 AWG wires for lengths over 50 feet.


==== AX Fiber optic cable ====
==== AX Fiber optic cable ====
Use [[Optical_fiber_interface|Multi-mode Duplex cable]] with two ST connectors at each end. Use care when installing the cable to prevent kinks and damage to the ends. The ends should be marked by color, number or with specification text on one channel of the 'zip' cord. Whichever channel is plugged into the left STATUS of the tower panel, also connects to the left STATUS connector on the rear of the AX touch screen controller. The opposite color should be plugged into the right DATA connectors at both ends.

Fiber STATUS is required for the AX controller to see that the tower panel is ready. If only one fiber channel is available, request a '''BLIND FIBER''' interface for the controller.

Configuration errors are indicated by blinking Input light on the interface board. If no error lights are lit on output modules then the problem is an invalid setting of the Panel Configuration switch on the interface board. If an error light is lit on an output module, its address switch is incorrectly set for that type of panel.

Self test will time out to normal operation in three minutes (from last output test) unless it is left in the repeat or scan modes. Those modes will operate continuously until canceled.
Three buttons are mounted on the left vertical edge of the Interface Module. The top one is '''TEST''', the middle one is '''STEP''' and the bottom one is '''REPEAT'''. The test mode will time out to normal mode after three minutes of inactivity unless it is left in the ''repeat'' or ''scan'' modes. Those modes will operate continuously until canceled.

Does not affect motor enable outputs to intelliSwing panels, but will affect Relay modules if used to trigger striker outputs.
Click the '''STEP''' button to get to desired bell output, then long press Step or Repeat until Input LED indicates new pulse width.
* Long Press '''STEP''' - (up) lengthen output pulse
* Long Press '''REPEAT''' - (down) shorten pulse
* Click '''REPEAT''' - re-test using new pulse
* Long Press '''TEST''' - saves newly selected timing for all bells before exiting self test
** During save, '''Input''' LED blinks four times
* Double click '''TEST''' - revert to last saved pulse times (losing any recent changes)
 
These adjustments do not affect motor enable output relays for intelliSwing panels.

** Plug the ribbon bus back into the module
* Long Press Test - saves newly selected timing for all bells before exiting self test
** Power on the panel
** During save, Input LED blinks four times
 
If you want to reset to default pulse times
* Change the module configuration (unplug a module temporarily) and cycle power
