Overview

The NXD-500IW widescreen color panel is designed for use in high-humidity INDOOR 
environments ranging between 50 and 95% relative humidity. It includes a built-in 
microphone, speakers, a mini-USB port for programming and audio output, and one 
NetLinx-programmable button. All power is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), 
utilizing a PS-POE-AF PoE Injector (

FG423-80

) or equivalent PoE device. The 

NXD-500IW comes in Mystique black (NXD-500IW-MB, 

FG2261-09

) and Mystique 

white (NXD-500IW-MW, 

FG2261-12

).

The NXD-500IW supports Intercom functionality, which allows two communicating 
panels (controlled by the NetLinx Master) to transmit full-duplex audio signals over a 
network in order to be used as an Intercom system.

Specifications     

IP Rating Compliance (Indoor Use Only)

The NXD-500IW is IP Rating 51 compliant. Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, 
but it will not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of 
the device; complete protection against contact. Dripping water (vertically falling 
drops) shall have no harmful effect.

Panel Connectors and Wiring

FIG. 2 shows the connectors located on the NXD-500IW Modero panel. The mini-USB 
port is used both for programming the touch panel and for audio output. The mini-USB 
port automatically detects the presence of a headphone adaptor, allowing the port to 
be used for headphone connectivity. 

For more information on connection and use of the Panel Connectors, as well as 
information on programming and headphone connectivity, please refer to the 

NXD-500i Operation/Reference Guide

Front Bezel Button

The NXD-500IW has only one button on the front of the device, in the center of the 
bezel. This button has several uses:

Press the button once to start a previously programmed function, or to turn off 

the display if not previously programmed.

Press and hold the button for 6 seconds to put the device into 

Setup Mode

.

Press and hold the button for 9 seconds to enter 

Calibration Mode

.

Press and hold the button for 20 seconds to reboot the panel.

NXD-500IW Specifications (Cont.)

Front Panel Components (Cont.)

Microphone:

• Frequency response of 300 to 3400Hz; used for intercom 

applications.

Speaker:

• Output of 4Ohm, 2 Watts, with a 300Hz low cutoff frequency.

Side Panel Connectors: 

Ethernet 10/100 
Port:

• RJ-45 port for 10/100 Mbps communication. The Ethernet port 

automatically negotiates the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 
Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode. 
Power is supplied through Power Over Internet (PoE). NXD-
500IW panels communicate with the NetLinx Master using the 
ICSP protocol over Ethernet. LEDs show communication activity, 
connections, speeds, and mode information:

L/A-link/activity

 - Yellow LED lights On when the Ethernet cables 

are connected and terminated correctly and then blinks when 
receiving Ethernet data packets.

SPD-speed

 - Green LED lights On when the connection speed is 

100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

Mini-USB 
Connector:

• 5-pin Mini-USB connector used for programming, firmware 

update, and touch panel file transfer between the PC and the 
target panel. The connector is also used for providing audio 
output for external speakers.
