Mini-Phoenix connector wiring diagram (direct data and power)
To use the 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) captive-wire connector for data communication and power transfer, the incoming
PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC-compliant power supply must be connected to the AxLink cable connector going to the
central controller. FIG. 47 shows the wiring diagram:
To the Controller’s

4-pin mini-Phoenix connector wiring diagram (using external power source)
CAUTION:
When you connect an external power supply, do not connect the wire from the PWR terminal (coming from the external
device) to the PWR terminal on the Phoenix connector attached to the Controller unit. Make sure to connect only the AXM, AXP,
and GND wires to the Controller?s Phoenix connector when using an external power supply.
Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AxLink/PWR connector when using a separate 12 VDC power supply. Do not
connect the PWR wire to the AxLink connector’s PWR (+) opening.
Configuration DIP Switch
The NCITE-813AC has a configuration DIP switch which allows for certain operations to occur during boot-time. FIG. 48 displays
the Configuration DIP Switch for the NCITE-813AC.

Program Run Disable (PRD) Mode
You can use the Configuration DIP switch to set the on-board Master to Program Run Disable (PRD) mode. PRD mode prevents the
NetLinx program stored in the on-board Master from running when you power up the Integrated Controller. You should only use
PRD mode when you suspect the resident NetLinx program is causing inadvertent communication and/or control problems.
If necessary, place the on-board Master in PRD mode and use the NetLinx Studio program to resolve the communication and/or
control problems with the resident NetLinx program. Then download the new NetLinx program and try again. FIG. 49 displays the
default DIP switch settings and the settings for PRD mode. To switch to PRD mode, move the position 1
DIP switch to ON.

NOTE:
Consider equating PRD Mode to a PC?s SAFE Mode setting. With PRD mode, you can continue to power a unit, update the
firmware, and download a new program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program. You must power
cycle the unit after activating/deactivating PRD mode on Program Port DIP switch #1.
