Power via PoE

Power for the MXD-430 is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an

AMX-certified, capacitive touch-compliant PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC High

Power PoE Injector (FG423-83) or other approved AMX PoE power source.

The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ45 port on the MXD-430 (FIG. 2).

Installing the MXD-430 Into a Wall

The MXD-430 comes with a clear plastic Backbox (designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. This Backbox has two locking tabs (one on each side) to help lock the Backbox to the wall.

These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall (FIG. 3)..

FIG. 3 MXD-430 Back Box (Side View)

• When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the Backbox may be difficult without having access to the back of the wall or causing damage to the wall.

• In order to ensure a stable installation of the MXD-430, the thickness of the wall material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches

(2.22cm). The mounting surface should also be smooth and flat.

Installing the Backbox

For best results, use the included Installation Template (68-5968-05) to ensure proper placement.

WARNING: Using the Installation Template to select the final placement of the Backbox is highly recommended. The outside edges of the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential obstacles.

1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.

2. After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface, using the (included)

Installation Template as a guide.

CAUTION: Making sure the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the provided dimensions is highly recommended. This action provides a margin for error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

3. Thread the incoming Ethernet cable through the surface opening.

Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

4. Remove the knockout from the backbox to open the access slot (FIG. 3), and thread the

incoming wiring through the hole

5. Push the backbox flat into the mounting surface and secure with either the locking tabs or

#4 mounting screws (not included).

6. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the box until snug.

Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.

The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if necessary.

Note: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the Backbox is

5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.

7. For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured via mounting holes located at the corners of the MXD-430 (see FIG. 1).

In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that any screws used are flush with the back box, and the back box goes freely into the opening.

8. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the MXD-430.

9. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.

Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall.

Remove power before continuing with the installation.

10. Latch the panel onto the bottom hooks on the back box and rotate it up.

Press gently but firmly and evenly on the surface of the glass until the top panel snap

“clicks” to lock it down.

WARNING: if you see a gap between the panel and the back box, or feel any binding while locking down the panel, stop immediately and verify that no cables or other items are in the way. Do not force the panel into position, as this can cause damage to the touch screen or the panel electronics.

11. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the

Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.

Powering On/Off X Series Panels

Modero X Series touch panels may be powered on by touching and holding the Sleep button.

3. Press Device Number to open the NetLinx editing window.

4. Enter a unique Device Number assignment for the panel and press OK.

5. Enter a unique Device Name assignment for the panel and press OK.

Configuring the Panel’s IP Address

These steps configure the panel to communicate with a network; it is still necessary to connect to the NetLinx Master (see Connecting to a NetLinx Master below).

Network Communication via DHCP

1. In the Ethernet page, press DHCP/Static field to open the DHCP/Static window. Note that DHCP is the default setting.

2. Select Host Name, enter the new host name

3. Press OK to save changes.

Network Communication via Static Address

1. In the Ethernet page, press DHCP/Static to open the DHCP/Static window.

2. Select Static to open the Static IP window.

3. Press any field to open a keypad or keyboard (depending on the field), and enter the appropriate network address information.

4. Press OK to save your changes and return to the Ethernet page.

Connecting to a NetLinx Master

To establish the type of connection to make between the panel and the NetLinx Master:

1. In the NetLinx page, press Mode to choose the connection mode (URL, Listen or Auto):

Connection Modes

Mode

URL

Description

The device connects to the target Master’s IP address via a TCP connection.

Procedures

1) Select URL in the Mode menu.

2) Enter the Master IP/URL, Master Port Number, and Username/Password (if required by the

Master).

Press OK to save changes.

Listen This mode allows the panel to “listen” for the Master’s communication signals.

Note that in this mode, the

System Number and Master

IP/URL fields are read-only.

1) Select Listen in the Mode menu.

2) Confirm the panel’s IP address is on the

Master’s URL list (via NetLinx Studio).

3) Press OK to save changes.

Note: The Host Name (set on the Ethernet page), can be used to locate the panel on the Master

(particularly useful for DHCP connections where the IP address can change).

Auto Use this mode when both the panel and the NetLinx

Master are on the same

Subnet.

1) Select Auto in the Mode menu.

2) Enter the System Number and Username and

Password (if applicable).

3) Press OK to save changes.

2. If password security is enabled on the target Master, enter the Username and Password: a. Select Username to open the NetLinx window.

b. Enter the Username and Password required by the Master.

c. Press OK to save changes and return to the NetLinx page.
