Installation of the NXD-430
While the NXD-430 is designed to fit into pre-existing NXD-CV5 touch panel sites,
the actual installation differs from that of the NXD-CV5 in several significant ways.
The NXD-430 can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP5I Rough-In
Box or another solid surface environment, using either solid surface screws or the
included locking tabs for different mounting options. For more information, please
refer to the
NXD-430/435 Operation/Reference Guide
, available at
www.amx.com
.
The NXD-430 is contained within a clear outer housing known as the back box
(FIG. 3). This back box is not removed when installing the device into a wall or into a
Rough-In Box.
Installing the NXD-430 into a wall
Unlike most AMX touchpanels, the NXD-430 comes with a clear plastic backbox
(FIG. 7) designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. This backbox
has a locking tab on three of the four faces (missing only on the face containing the
space for the connections) to help lock the backbox to the wall. These locking tabs
are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall.
WARNING:
When installing the backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the
correct position and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and
locked into place, removing the backbox may be difficult without having access to the
back of the wall or causing damage to the wall.
Note:
In order to guarantee a stable installation of the NXD-430, the thickness of the
wall material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875
inches (2.22cm).
WARNING:
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.
1.
Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before
beginning the cutout process.
2.
Cut out the surface for the back box. Refer to the dimensions in the
NXD-430/
435 Operation/Reference Guide
, available from
www.amx.com
, for more
information.
CAUTION:
Making sure that the actual cutout opening be 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.
3.
Remove the faceplate from the NXD-430.
4.
Disconnect the capacitive touch connector from the 10-pin plug on the
faceplate.
5.
Insert both connectors into their corresponding locations along the left side of
the NXD-430 touch panel.
6.
Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal
locations and applying power via the PoE Injector. Verify that the panel is
receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the
installation.
7.
Thread the incoming Ethernet and mini-USB wiring (if mini-USB access is
desired) from their terminal locations through the surface opening.
Leave
enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
8.
Push the back box into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush
against the back box.
9.
Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the back box by tightening the screws
inside the box until snug. Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the back
box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom tabs is highly
recommended. 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.
The back box is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been
extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if
necessary.
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.
10.
Carefully replace the two Plastite screws holding the device to the back box.
11.
Reconnect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the faceplate.
12.
Place the faceplate back onto the device.
13.
Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
Installing the NXD-430 into a Flat Surface using #4 screws
Three #4 mounting screws (not included) are secured through circular holes located
at the left and right sides of the NXD-430. The most important thing to remember
when mounting the NXD-430 is that the outer frame (Mounting Tabs) must be
installed flush against the mounting surface.
•
Refer to SP-2262-02 for detailed installation dimensions.
•
Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation
drawings in order to make any necessary cutout adjustments, is highly
recommended.
1.
Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the surface before
beginning the cutout process.
2.
Cut out the surface for the NXD-430.
3.
Remove the faceplate from the NXD-430.
4.
Disconnect the capacitive touch connector from the 10-pin plug on the
faceplate.
5.
Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring from their terminal sources
through the surface opening. Leave enough slack in the wiring to
accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
6.
Connect the Ethernet and USB connectors to their corresponding locations
along the left side of the un-powered NXD-430 touch panel. The USB
connectors can be from either a USB extension cable or a wireless USB RF
transmitter.
NOTE:
Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be
installed with the necessary connectors before being inserted into the solid surface.
7.
Carefully slide the main unit into the cutout until the Mounting Tabs of the
NXD-430 lie flush against the wall.
8.
Insert and secure three #4 Mounting Screws (not included) into the
corresponding holes located along the sides of the NXD-430, using a grounded
Phillips-head screwdriver, until the unit is secure and flush against the wall.
9.
Reconnect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the faceplate.
10.
Place the faceplate back onto the device.
11.
Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
