Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero touch panel firmware

(available from www.amx.com). Verify the TPDesign4 program being used is

Version 2.6 or higher .

Overview

The VG-Series of touch panels can be fitted for either Video (Composite) or RGB

(Component) via the use of two kit configurations: Video Kit and RGB Kit. Each kit comes with its own group of standard components that are specific to its configuration. The following table outlines the different configurations available for 1500VG panels:

Wiring the NXA-AVB/RGB Connectors and Cables

The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front connectors are used to communicate signals between the NXA-AVB/RGB and

a target Modero panel. FIG. 4 provides a layout of the wiring connections on

both sides of the breakout box. Power should be applied to the

NXA-AVB/RGB only after all connections have been secured onto both

the breakout box and the target panel.

FIG. 4 NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box connector wiring diagram

Use the NXA-MTC/RGB cable to provide both communication and 10/100 network connectivity between the target panel, NXA-AVB/RGB, NetLinx

Master, and the network.

The RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the RGB /

Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to the

VG-Series Modero panel. Standard CAT5 cable can be used for this connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs over

50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance VideoTwist

7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed to control skew
