REV: J

Note

: These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one 

source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components and a 
possible burn out. Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete.

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive 
wires.

Note

: Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1.

Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of 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 section).

3.

Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws 
excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the 
incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their 
corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 4).    

1.

Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix 
cable. 

Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal 

connector.

2.

Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. 

Do not tighten the screws excessively; 

doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

3.

Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-
compliant power supply.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET 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 and a target panel. FIG. 5 provides a layout of 
the wiring connection both into and from the breakout box. 

Power should be applied to the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET only after all connections have 
been secured onto both the box and target panel. 

 

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (connected to the rear of the Panel) to provide 
communication and 10/100 network connectivity between the panel, breakout box, NetLinx 
Master, and the network. The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to 
right):

Wiring for Balanced Audio

Use FIG. 7 to configure a balanced audio connection.    

Modero Setup and System Connection

1.

Carefully remove the panel from the shipping box, peel the protective plastic cover 
from the LCD and apply power to the panel.

and touch the on-screen 

Protected Setup

 button. 

8.

Repeat step 4 to continue to the Protected Setup page.

9.

FIG. 5  

NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram

AUDIO IN:

6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. 
Each channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connec-
tors (2 sets of 3 for each channel). 

MIC OUT:

4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ 
terminal connectors.

Video In BNCs:

Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into 
the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET. This feed is then redirected out to a Modero 
panel through the front Audio/Video CAT5 port.

ETHERNET:

RJ-45 connector routes data to the G4 touch panel through the front 
Ethernet port. These connections use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to 
provide communication between the target touch panel, Breakout Box, 
and NetLinx Master.

PWR:

2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a PSN power supply. This 
port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it 
through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the 
front power connector).
