10.4" Touch Panels
14.
Remove the backing from the adhesive tape strips; press the engraved overlay onto the
faceplate. Once attached to the faceplate, the security screws cannot be replaced without
removing the overlay.
15.
Reconnect the AXlink wiring to the Central Controller, RS-232 wiring to the mouse (if used),
and optional graphic/video wiring to the source equipment. The touch panel beeps on power-
up.
Installing rack-mount panels (AXM-CA10/PB)
1. Thread the incoming AXlink, RS-232, and optional graphic/video wiring through the opening
in the equipment rack.
2. Disconnect the AXlink connector from the Central Controller, the RS-232, and optional
graphic/video wiring from the source equipment.
3. Insert the touch panel into the equipment rack. Line up the top-left and bottom-right screw
holes and start tightening the #6-32 screws. Then, tighten the bottom-left and top-right screws.
4. Connect the AXlink wiring to the Central Controller, RS-232, and optional graphic/video
wiring to the touch panel. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines table for pinout descriptions. The
touch panel beeps on power-up.
Wiring the Touch Panel
The touch panels use a 4-pin AXlink connector for power and data. If the distance between the
panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you must connect an optional
12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector.
Preparing captive wires
You need a wire stripper, soldering iron, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the
captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring
diagrams and connector types described in this subsection.
3. Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not over-torque
the screws; doing so can bend the seating pin and damage the connector.
Wiring guidelines
The touch panels require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The touch panel can use either a
PSN2.8 (if the power is being supplied only to the touch panel) or a PSN6.5 power supply (if the
power is being routed through the touch panel to power another device). The Central Controller
supplies power via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring
distance between the Central Controller and touch panel is determined by power consumption,
supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The table below lists wire sizes and the
maximum lengths allowable between the touch panel and Central Controller.
Do not connect power to the touch panel until the wiring is complete. If you are using
a 12 VDC power supply, apply power to the touch panel only after installation is
complete.
