3.
Thread the incoming Ethernet wiring from their terminal locations through
the surface opening and through the access slot.
4.
Push the back box flat into the mounting surface and secure with either the
locking tabs or #4 mounting screws (not included). In order to prevent
damage to the touch panel, make sure that any screws used are flush with
the back box, and the back box goes freely into the opening.
5.
Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the
MSD-431-L.
6.
Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their
terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving
power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.
Note:
Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be
installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall.

Latch the panel onto the top hooks on the back box and rotate it down.
Press gently but firmly and evenly on the surface of the glass until the top
panel snap “clicks” to lock it down.
WARNING:
if you see a gap between the panel and the back box, or feel any
binding while locking down the panel, stop immediately and verify that no cables
or other items are in the way. Do not force the panel into position, as this can
cause damage to the touch screen or the panel electronics.
8.
Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
Uninstalling the MSD-431-L
