Installing Mini-Touch Panels

Preparing captive wires
You will 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 and apply a light coat of solder to
the ends using a soldering iron.
2.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the
wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section.
3.
Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector.
Wiring guidelines
Mini-touch panels require regulated 12 VDC power to operate properly. The
AXCESS Control System supplies power via the AXlink cable. The maximum wiring
distance between the control system and mini-touch panel is determined by power
consumption, supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. Figure 13 lists
wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the mini-touch panel and
control system. The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a
minimum of 13.5 volts available at the control system’s power supply.

If you install the mini-touch panel farther away from the control system than
recommended in Figure 13, connect an external 12 VDC power supply to the
TiltScreen, UniMount, and rack-mount mini-touch panels according to the wiring
diagrams and pinout descriptions in this section.
Caution
Do not connect power to the
mini-touch panel until the wiring
is complete. If you are using a
12 VDC power supply, apply
power to the mini-touch panel
only after installation is
complete.
Caution
Do not over-torque the screw.
Doing so can bend the seating
pin and damage the connector.
