Product Specifications  

MSD-701-L2 Installation

The MSD-701-L2 can be installed via several mounting options: Use the included clear plastic 

Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. Other optional AMX mounting 

solutions include the MSA-MMK2-07 Multi Mount Kit (FG2265-22), the MSA-AMK2-07 Any 

Mount Kit (FG2265-35), and the CB-MXSA-07 Rough-In Box and Cover Plate (FG039-18). 

Refer to the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit for instructions.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Power for the MSD-701-L2 is supplied via PoE, utilizing an AMX-certified PoE injector such as 

the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (FG423-83). The incoming Ethernet cable should be 

connected to the RJ-45 port on the MSD-701-L2.

Plastic Backbox

The MSD-701-L2 comes with a clear plastic Backbox (FIG. 2). This Backbox can be used to 

mount the touch panel into most standard wall materials. The Backbox can also used to mount 

the panel into other mounting options.    

STEP 1: Install the Plastic Backbox

Use the included Installation Template to determine the placement of the Backbox in the 

mounting surface. 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.

After ensuring proper placement, cut an opening in the mounting surface for the 

Backbox, using the included Installation Template as a guide.

Note: Consider making the actual cutout opening slightly smaller than the provided 

dimensions. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little 

wall material removed is always better than too much.

2.

Thread the incoming cables (Ethernet and Micro-USB) from their terminal locations 

through the surface opening, leaving enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-

positioning of the panel.

3.

Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread incoming cables through the knockouts.

4.

Gently push the Backbox into the mounting surface.

• This Backbox uses two Locking Tabs to secure the Backbox to the wall. For typical 

mounting surfaces, such as drywall, the locking tabs are the primary method for 

securing the Backbox to the wall.

• To ensure a stable installation, 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. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws 

(not included) - see FIG. 2.

5.

Extend both Locking Tabs by tightening the Locking Tab screws until snug (FIG. 3):    

CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic 

Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Excessive torque on the tab screws can strip out the 

locking tabs or damage the Backbox.

• Extend the Locking Tabs only AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall. 

• When installing the Backbox, make sure that it is positioned correctly.

• 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.

STEP 2: Insert Connectors on the Touch Panel

1.

Before installing the touch panel into the Backbox, connect the Ethernet and USB cables 

to the rear of the panel.

2.

Remove power at the terminal end before continuing with the installation.

Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed 

with the attached connectors before being inserted into the mounting surface.

STEP 3: Secure the Touch Panel To the Backbox

The Backbox uses notches on the front edges (top and bottom) to secure the panel into place. 

Follow the steps below to install the panel into the Backbox, starting the upper edge of the 

touch panel:

UPPER TABS FIRST

1.

Center the top edge of the touch panel against the upper outside edge of the Backbox 

and latch the top of the panel onto the Backbox top-hooks (FIG. 4):
