Product Specifications  

Note: The MXD-1000-P-NC (FG5968-25) and MXD-1000-L-NC (FG5968-26) No Comm touch 

panels do not have camera, microphone, or NFC capability. These otherwise have all of the 

functionality of the MXD-1000 panels.

MXD-1000 Installation

• For more detailed installation instructions including important notes on thermal 

concerns with Rack and Wall installations, refer to the 

X-Series Touch Panels MXD/T-

1000, MXD/T-700 & MXD-430 Instruction Manual

 (available to view/download from 

www.amx.com).

• Detailed specifications drawings for the MXD-1000 are available to download from 

www.amx.com.

The MXD-1000 may be installed directly into a solid surface environment, using either solid 

surface screws or the included locking tabs for different mounting options. 

Once installed, the MXD-1000 is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox 

(FIG. 2). The Backbox is removed to install it into a wall, or when using the optional Rough-In 

Box accessory (

FG039-17

).

Note: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary 

method for securing the Backbox to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting 

screws (not included).

Installing the MXD-1000 Into a Wall

The MXD-1000 comes with a clear plastic Backbox (designed to attach the panel to most 

standard wall materials. This Backbox has four locking tabs (two on top and two on bottom) to 

help lock the Backbox to the wall.
These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall (FIG. 3). 

 

• 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. 

• In order to ensure a stable installation of the MXD-1000, the thickness of the wall 

material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches 

(2.22cm). The mounting surface should also be smooth and flat.

Installing the Backbox 

For best results, use the included Installation Template (

68-5968-03

) to ensure proper 

placement. The template is marked on one side with directions for both landscape and portrait 

installations to ensure that the touch panel and Backbox are properly aligned.

WARNING: Using the Installation Template to select the final placement of the Backbox is highly 

recommended. The outside edges of the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, 

which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential 

obstacles.

1.

Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the 

cutout process.

2.

After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the Backbox, using 

the (included) Installation Template as a guide.

CAUTION: Making sure the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the provided 

dimensions is highly recommended. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to 

be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

3.

Thread the incoming cables through the surface opening (FIG. 4). 

   

Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

4.

Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread the incoming wiring through the knockout 

holes.

5.

Thread the incoming cables from the mounting surface opening and through the 

knockouts.

6.

Push the Backbox into the mounting surface. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush 

against the Backbox and that the Backbox goes freely into the opening.

7.

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.

Note: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the Backbox 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 Backbox.
