Installation Recommendations
During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device’s operation. In these
circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device’s
maximum rated temperature.
NOTE:
While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum operating temperature, special care must be
taken before and during installation to ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack
installation spaces.
MXD-2000XL-PAN / MXD-1900L-PAN Installation
NOTE:
Refer to A Note About Wall and Rack Installation
for important notes on thermal concerns with Wall and Rack
Installations.
Note that the figures in this section show landscape (-L) panels, but the concepts presented here apply equally to portrait (-P)
panels, since the hardware is the same for landscape and portrait panels except for the horizontal / vertical orientation. Detailed
specifications drawings for the
(portrait and landscape) are available to download from
www.amx.com.
MXD-2000XL-PAN and MXD-1900L-PAN panels may be installed directly into a solid surface, using either solid surface screws or
the included locking tabs for different mounting options.
Once installed, the panel is contained within a clear outer housing known as the
Backbox
(FIG. 23). This Backbox is removed when
installing the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-15).
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).
Installing the MXD-2000XL-PAN / MXD-1900L-PAN Into a Wall
The Backbox has four locking tabs (two on top and two on bottom) to lock the Backbox to the wall (FIG. 24).
Note that FIG. 24 shows the MXD-1900L-PAN, but the locking tabs are in a similar location on the MXT-2000XL-PAN.
These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.
The Backbox also has four slots for accepting the temporary mounting posts on the back of the device.
