ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master Firmware (available from 
www.amx.com) on your ME260/64 and NI-Series Controllers.

 

Verify you are using the latest MVP-TDS firmware to accurately communicate 
with the connected MVP panel.

ATTENTION!

Prior to installing an MVP panel on the MVP-TDS, remove any attached MVP-KS 
from the rear of the MVP panel.

Overview

The MVP-TDS Table Top Docking Station (

FG5965-10

) extends the functionality 

of the wireless MVP panel (when resting on a flat surface). The MVP-TDS is 
compatible with both MVP touch panel models (MVP-7500 and MVP-8400). 

• Place the MVP panel onto the MVP-TDS to recharge its batteries and 

maintain continuous control of your integrated technology. 

• The adjustable station creates just the right viewing angle for any 

situation. 

• Attach a keyboard or mouse using the docking station's rear USB ports. 

This connection facilitates surfing the Web by using the G4 Computer 
Control application. 

The MVP-TDS utilizes an innovative locking mechanism. The electromagnet 
"holds" the panel to the MVP Support Cradle and allows the mounted MVP to 
achieve optimum viewing angles via tilting. The Security Release pushbutton 
turns-off the electromagnet for easy removal of the MVP panel.   

An optional accessory for the MVP-TDS is an MVP-BP Battery Pack that can be 
recharged from either of the two rear compartments on the Docking Station or 
from within the MVP panel.

either an: MVP-TDS, MVP-WDS, or MVP panel itself.
