Black/White LCD Mini-Touch Panels

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper, soldering iron, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the 

captive wires.

1.

Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires and apply a light coat of solder to the ends using 

a soldering iron. 

2.

Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring 

diagrams and connector types described in this subsection. 

3.

Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not over-torque 

the screws; doing so can bend the seating pin and damage the connector.

Wiring guidelines

The touch panels require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies power 

via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring distance between the 

Central Controller and touch panel is determined by power consumption, supplied voltage, and the 

wire gauge used for the cable. The table below lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable 

between the mini-touch panel and Central Controller. The maximum wiring lengths for using 

AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 volts available at the Central Controller’s power 

supply. Refer to the

Specifications

section on page 1 for more information

If you install the touch panel farther away from the Central Controller than recommended in the 

Wiring Guidelines table, connect an external 12 VDC power supply to the panel as shown in the 

wiring diagrams in this subsection.

Using the AXlink mini-XLR connector for data and power (AXT-MLC and AXW-MLC)

Connect the Central Controller’s AXlink connector to the mini-XLR connector (male) on the rear 

panel of the TiltScreen and wood enclosure mini-touch panels for data and 12 VDC power, as 

shown in FIG. 9.

Do not connect power to the touch panel until the wiring is complete. If you are using 
a 12 VDC power supply, apply power to the touch panel only after installation is 
complete.
