Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)
Multi-Connector Cable (sold separately)
When connecting external equipment to the Axis product, a multi-connector cable (available from Axis) is required in order to
maintain the product’s IP rating. The multi-connector cable can be purchased from your Axis reseller.
Connect the multi-connector cable to the product’s multi-connector. To locate the multi-connector, see Hardware Overview, on page
6 . The cable provides the following connectors:
Note
See page 64 for technical specications.
Power connector - 3-pin terminal block used for power input. See image below. Use a limited power source (LPS) with either a rated
output power limited to ≤100 W or a rated output current limited to ≤5 A.
Audio in (pink) - 3.5 mm input for a mono microphone, or a line-in mono signal (left channel is used from a stereo signal).
Audio out (green) - 3.5 mm output for audio (line level) that can be connected to a public address (PA) system or an active speaker
with a built-in amplier. A stereo connector must be used for the audio out.
I/O terminal connector - Use with external devices in combination with, for example, tampering alarms, motion detection, event
triggering, time lapse recording and alarm notications. In addition to ground and auxiliary power, the I/O terminal connector
provides the interface to:
• Digital output — For connecting external devices such as relays and LEDs. Connected devices can be activated by the
VAPIX® Application Programming Interface, output buttons on the Live View page or by an Action Rule. The output
will show as active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status) if the alarm device is activated.
• Digital input — An alarm input for connecting devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for
example: PIRs, door/window contacts, glass break detectors, etc. When a signal is received the state changes and
the input becomes active (shown under System Options > Port & Devices > Port Status).

Can be used to power auxiliary equipment.
Note: This pin can only be used as power out.
Max load:

Digital input — Connect to GND to activate, or leave
oating (unconnected) to deactivate.
0 to +40 V DC
Max load:

Digital output — Internal connection to ground when
activated, oating (unconnected) when deactivated. If
used with an external relay, a diode must be connected
in parallel with the load, for protection against voltage
transients.
Max voltage:
+40 V DC
