Modero X® Series G5 Touch Panels - Installation & Hardware Reference Manual
Uninstalling the MXD-701
The MXD-701 is held in place to the Backbox via latch hooks and clips on the Backbox.
In certain circumstances, such as firmware updates or other maintenance that requires accessing the device’s USB port, the device
may need to be removed from the Backbox. The clips that lock down the MXD-701’s bottom edge (Landscape) or right edge
(Portrait) may be unlatched in order to remove the device from the mounting surface.
Removing the MXD-701 From Its Backbox
1.
The MXD-701 has three rows of ventilation holes along the molding (FIG. 47):
2.
On the bottom (Landscape) or right side (Portrait) of the MXD-701, locate the
fifth
ventilation holes from each edge, on the
row closest to the Backbox (FIG. 48):.
3.
With a stout, strong point (a push pin or straightened paper-clip, for example), carefully press into the access holes in either
end of the molding until the snap is disconnected.
To facilitate the disconnection, grasp the bottom of the panel (Landscape) or right side (Portrait) and pull gently outward until
the side of the panel is free of the snap. Use your other hand to hold stable the front of the touch panel.
NOTE:
Always pull on the frame of the touch panel. NEVER pull on the glass edge.
4.
When the first side is free, repeat the process with the other.
5.
With the edge of the touch panel free, carefully lift up and out (Landscape) or to the left and out (Portrait) to remove the touch
panel from the Backbox. Be careful not to pull on the cables or connectors.
6.
To reattach the panel to its Backbox, repeat the installation procedure.
NOTE:
