®
Series Wall Mount Touch Panel
Overview
The MSD-431-L 4.3" (Landscape) Wall Mount Touch Panel (FG2265-03) features brilliant
24-bit color depth, PoE connectivity, and streaming video, and supports Bluetooth keyboard
and mouse via the optional MXA-BT Bluetooth Adapter.
Product Specifications
Power Over Ethernet
Power for the MSD-431-L is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-certified
PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (
FG423-83
) or other approved AMX PoE
power source. The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ-45 port on the
MSD-431-L.
MSD-431-L Installation
The MSD-431-L may be installed
as either a retrofit installation in to drywall or other similar
thickness material. (0.5" minimum), or inserted into the rough in box or rack mount kit
. Once
installed, the MSD-431-L is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox
(FIG. 2). The clear plastic Backbox is designed to attach the panel to most standard wall
materials.
The Backbox is removed from the panel prior to installing it into a wall or removed to use the
optional Multi Mount accessory MSA-MMK-43 (FG2265-13).
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).
Removing the MSD-431-L Backbox
The clips on the bottom edge of the Backbox lock down the MSD-431-L and must be unlatched
in order to remove the Backbox from the touch panel.
1.
Hold the Backbox/panel inverted on a soft surface with the panel facing away from you.
2.
Press down on the top edge of the Backbox to flex it and unhinge the touch panel.
3.
Rotate the top of the Backbox away from the panel and lift it away from the touch panel.
Note: For additional information on removing the Backbox on the MSD-431-L panel after wall
mount installation has been completed, refer to the S-Series Touch Panels Instruction Manual.
Backbox Considerations
Note: For flat surface mounting the touch panels to glass, marble, or other smooth surfaces
without drilling or cutting, refer to the MSA-MMK-43 (FG2265-13) Multi Mount Kit
documentation at www.amx.com.
The Backbox has two locking tabs (one on top and one on bottom) to help lock the Backbox to
the wall. Extend these locking tabs AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.
• When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position
(arrow up) 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 MSD-431-L, 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
Use the included Installation Template (
68-2265-02
) to ensure proper placement.
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 Ethernet and Micro-USB wiring (if Micro-USB access is desired)
from their terminal locations through the surface opening (FIG. 5).
Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
4.
Remove the Backbox knockouts (FIG. 4) and thread the incoming wiring through the
knockout holes.
5.
Thread the incoming Ethernet and Micro-USB wiring (if USB or Micro-USB access is
desired) from the surface opening and through the knockouts.
Note: The Micro-USB port cannot be used while the touch panel installed in the Backbox.
The MSD-431 must be removed from the wall and the Backbox in order to access the
Micro-USB port.
6.
Push the Backbox into the mounting surface ensuring 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.
