Wiring and Installation
9
PRO-DP8 Decor 8-Button Wall Panel
Additional panels can be daisy-chained or connected directly to the Pack's terminal. Use a
12 VDC power supply when more than three PRO-DP8 panels are used with one Pack. Refer to
the Using a PROlink 4-pin connector with an external 12 VDC power supply section on page 9
for more information.
2. Connect the PROlink connector to the panel (see the Preparing captive wires section on
page 8).
3. Locate the green PROlink LED on the rear side of the panel. If the green LED flashes once
every 2 seconds, the panel is communicating properly with the Pack. If the LED is on and not
flashing, disconnect the PROlink connector and recheck all PROlink connections; reconnect
the PROlink connector to the panel and verify the LED is flashing once every 2 seconds.
4. Test to see if the panel recalls a Preset or ramps dimmers (if test fails, refer to
the Troubleshooting section on page 12).
Using a PROlink 4-pin connector with an external 12 VDC power supply
Use a 12 VDC power supply when the distance between the Pack and PRO-DP8 exceeds 1,000 feet
(304.8 m), or when more than three PRO-DP8 panels are used with one Pack. Make sure to connect
only the GND wire on the PROlink connector when using a 12 VDC power supply.
Connect the Pack's PROlink connector to the PROlink connector on the rear panel of the PRO-DP8,
as described in the following steps.
1. The captive-wire terminal on PRO-DP8 is wired to an orange captive-wire terminal on the
Pack. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector, according to the wiring
diagram shown in FIG. 2.

Verify PROlink wiring connections are correct before applying power to the Pack.
While AMX recommends installing a maximum of three PRO-DP8 panels per Pack,
the actual maximum number of panels allowed per Pack is a function of power and
distance between the two.
