Modero X® Series Touch Panels - Installation & Hardware Reference Manual
6.
Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the box until snug.
NOTE:
The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic 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.
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 Backbox 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.
For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through the holes located at the top and
bottom of the MXD-430 (FIG. 55). In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the
Backbox.
7.
Insert each connector into its corresponding location on the back of the device.
8.
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.
NOTE:
Do not disconnect the cables from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being
inserted into the mounting surface.
9.
Latch the panel onto the bottom hooks on the Backbox and push it up onto the top snap (FIG. 46).
Press gently but firmly on the ends until the snap “clicks” to lock it down.
