REV: D 

NOTE: 

The MXT-2000XL-PAN-NC (

FG5968-32

) No Comm touch panel does not have 

camera, microphone, or NFC capability. It otherwise has all of the functionality of the MXT-
2000XL-PAN panel.

Panel Connectors and Wiring

FIG. 2 shows the connectors located on the underside of the MXT-2000XL-PAN. The 
Micro-USB port is used for camera video output. The underside USB port, as well as 
the two rear USB ports, may be used with a flash drive for page transfers, firmware 
upgrades, or Picture View. Any USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) may be 
connected to one of the two USB ports on the rear of the device.

The MXT-2000XL-PAN does not have individual channels on the base of the device to 
allow passage of cables from underneath the base. Instead, it has one slot at the base 
to allow options on cable configuration, with channels for securing power, Ethernet, 
and Micro-USB cables (FIG. 3). 

Each channel side has slots for attaching tie-wraps to secure each cable. The ferrite 
on the power cable must be secured with the included tie-wrap during installation to 
prevent the possibility of the panel not sitting flush on the table.

Wiring Guidelines

The MXT-2000XL-PAN uses a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to 
the panel via the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire PWR connector. Use the previously 
provided power requirement information to determine the power draw. The incoming 
PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding 
locations within the PWR connector.

NOTE

: Apply power to the panel only after installation is complete.

NOTE

: Connecting power to the MXT-2000XL-PAN should be done using the included 

2-pin 3.5mm captive wire connector included with the device. This connector is 
retained within its port with locking screws instead of the pins on each side of standard 
captive wire connectors, and using force to insert a standard captive wire connector 
may damage the device

.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power 
supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be 
connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 4).

 The connector 

uses locking screws to insure a connection to the device, so make sure to insert and tighten 
the screws before applying power.  

1.

Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5mm captive 
wire connector cable. 

Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power 

supply and the terminal connector.

2.

Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. 

Do not tighten the screws 

excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

3.

Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector cable to the 
external 12 VDC-compliant power supply and apply power.

Configuring the MXT-2000XL-PAN

The MXT-2000XL-PAN is equipped with Settings Pages that allow you to set and
