Installation
16 MXD/T-1000 10.1" Modero® X Series Touch Panels
To install the back box:
1.
Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.
2.
For best results, use the MXD-1000 Installation Template ( 68-5968-03 ) to ensure proper placement
(FIG. 15). The template is marked on one side with directions for both landscape and portrait installations
to ensure that the touch panel and back box are properly aligned.
3.
After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the back box, using the MXD-1000
Installation Template as a guide.
In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MXD-1000, 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.
The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic back
box 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
plastic back box.

Using the included template to select the final placement of the back box 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.
Making sure the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the provided
dimensions is highly recommended. This action provides the installer with a margin
for error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is
always better than too much.
