REV: B

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-1901-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-1901-PAN uses a 12 VDC-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-1901-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 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. 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 12 VDC-

compliant power supply and apply power.

4. Press 

OK

 to save your changes and return to the 

Ethernet

 page.

Connecting to a NetLinx Master

To establish the type of connection to make between the panel and the NetLinx Master:

NetLinx

 page, press 

Mode

 to choose the connection mode (

URL

Listen 

or

): 

2. If password security is enabled on the target Master, enter the Username and 

Password:

a.   Select 

Username

 to open the 

NetLinx

 window.

b.   Enter the 

Username

 and
