4.

Remove any knockouts as needed on either long dimension of the Backbox to facilitate 

incoming wiring and pull the wiring through the resultant holes.

5.

Push the Backbox into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the 

Backbox.

6.

Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the 

box until snug. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the 

wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.

7.

For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through the 

mounting holes located at the left and right sides of the panel (FIG. 4). In order to 

prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the Backbox.

8.

Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the device. 

9.

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. 

Remove power before continuing with the installation.

Note: Do not disconnect the cables from the touch panel. The panel must be installed with 

the cables attached before being inserted into the drywall.

Note: Configurations that use the limited access USB port on the side of the connector 

box may require a right angle mating connector (not included).

10. Insert the four temporary mounting posts of the panel into the openings on the Backbox 

and slide the panel onto the Backbox. This will temporarily hold the panel during the rest 

of the installation (FIG. 5). 

   

 

WARNING: When installing the panel, do NOT press on or near the center of the panel. Too 

much stress at the center may damage the touch screen surface. When installing the 

panel, pressure should be applied toward the ends of the panel ONLY.

11. Use the six provided screws, three at each end, to secure the touch panel to the Backbox 

(FIG. 5). Use only the provided screws, as other screws may damage the touch panel. 

12. Snap the side covers onto each end of the touch panel.

13. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the 

Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.

Panel Connectors and Wiring

Connectors are located on the underside of the MXD-1900L-PAN. The Micro-USB port is used 

for camera video output. A second, limited access USB port is accessible on the back side of 

this cover.

Wiring Guidelines

The MXD-1900L-PAN uses a 

13.5V

 

-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel 

via the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire PWR connector. Use the previously provided power 

requirement information to determine the power draw. The incoming PWR and GND wires from 

the power supply must be connected to the corresponding locations within the PWR 

connector.

Note: Apply power to the panel only after installation is complete.

Note: Connecting power to the MXD-1900L-PAN should be done using the included 2-pin 3.5mm 

captive wire connector included with the device. This connector uses retaining screws (instead 

of the pins on each side of standard captive wire connectors); using excessive force to insert a 

standard captive wire connector may damage the device.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector with a 

13.5V

 

-compliant power supply, the 

incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their 

corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 6).

The connector uses locking screws to insure a connection to the device, so make sure to insert 

and tighten the screws before applying power.

 

 

1.

Insert the PWR and GND wires into the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire 

connector 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 captive wire connector to the external 

13.5V

 

-compliant power supply and apply power.
