Overview of the Weather-Resistant Faceplates

Customers would prefer to use a touch panel in locations were previously 
only keypads could be installed. These locations can consist of wet, 
splashy, and environments with high levels of humidity such as: bathrooms, 
pool areas, garages, etc. 

AMX now offers a new option - a set of water-resistant bezels for 
AXD-CP4/A touch panels: AC-CP4A/WRB. The faceplate set includes all 
three (3) color configurations - beige, black, and white - covered with a thin 
transparent water-resistant film that covers the entire surface of the bezel 
including the touch screen, sensor lens, and pushbuttons. It also includes a 
rubber-foam gasket to "seal" the gap between the bezel, the back box and 
the wall. It is a perfect solution that brings the power of AMX touch panels 
into wet and splashy environments in and around your house or office 
building.

Specifications    

NOTE:

 

The AC-CP4A/WRB is intended for installation to AXD units. The 

two main installation environments where this accessory can be used are: 
Solid surface (using four #4-40 solid surface screws) and Drywall surface 
(using 2 - #6 drywall clips and screws).

Drywall Surface Upgrade Installation

NOTE: 

Expansion clips are mounted through pre-drilled notches located at 

the sides of the panel. These clips are one-time use pieces. If an error 
occurs during the installation process, a replacement clip must be ordered 
through your AMX representative.

1.

Carefully remove the attached AMX faceplate/bezel (

A

 in FIG. 2) from 

the main AXD unit (

B

 in FIG. 2)

 

by gripping the faceplate from the 

notches (located along the underside of the plate) and pulling with 
gentle force. 

2.

Locate the 2 drywall screws located along both sides of the AXD unit.

3.

Use a grounded Phillips screwdriver to slightly loosen the #6 drywall 
screws in a counter-clockwise direction.

NOTE: 

The purpose of only slightly loosening the drywall screws is NOT to 

remove the unit but to provide enough slack so that there is enough room 
between the AXD housing and the drywall to wrap the foam insulation 
around the back of the housing for insulation purposes.

4.

Unscrew the drywall screws enough to where there is a 0.125" gap 
between the edge of the AXD housing and the drywall.

5.

Install the foam insulation by inserting the left side of the foam 
between the drywall and the rear of the housing. 

6.

While still holding the insulation, gently pull the other side of the foam 
over the opposite side of the housing (FIG. 2) until the entire foam strip 
is now located behind the outer rim of the AXD housing.      

7.

Verify the alignment of the center foam cutouts over the two side 
drywall screws (FIG. 2).

8.

Carefully begin tighten the #6 drywall screws in a clockwise direction. 
Slight adjustments to the position of the foam insulation can be 
necessary.

9.

Perform a visual inspection of the insulation seal around the rim of the 
AXD housing. There should be no visible gaps between the rim of the 
housing and the surface of the drywall.

10. Finish the securing process of the AXD back to the drywall by tightly 

turning the drywall screw in a clockwise direction to guarantee a tight 
seal.

11. Place the new 

AC-CP4A/WRB weatherproof faceplate

 onto the main 

AXD unit (

B

 in FIG. 2) by gripping the object at both sides, resting the 

top rim of the faceplate to the top rim of the housing, then applying 
gentle downward force. 

12. Make sure to align the Light, IR receiver, and PIR Motion sensor 

locations to their respective openings on the front bezel/faceplate. 
Make sure the buttons are flush against the faceplate.
