Installing the FlatMount Frame With In-Wall Housing

1.  Lead Cable into Housing

See 

«Lead Cable into Housing» on the front page. Since several cable inlets 

are possible here as well, make sure that you pierce the inlet that is closest 
to the required cable connection.

2.  Install Housing

See 

«Insert Housing» (In-wall) on the front page. Measurements for the 

installation opening (W x H x D): 

112

 x 

112

 x 

60

 

mm

.

Set the protective cardboard cover (included with the delivered parts) into 
the housing before pushing it into the wall cavity. This prevents cement 
from entering the interior of the housing.        

3.  Attach FlatMount Frame

When attaching the FlatMount Frame, make sure that the arrow on the 
red knob points at the “open lock” icon and that the red knob is on the 
bottom left corner of the frame.
Position the clamping brackets at the ends of the screws in such a way 
that the screws are easily led past the notches of the housing when you 
attach the FlatMount Frame. After attaching the FlatMount Frame, tighten 
the screws. Make sure that you do not overtighten the screws. By tight-
ening the screws, the clamping brackets automatically engage into the 
notches of the housing. 

Cavity Installation of the FlatMount Frame (Without In-Wall Housing)

Installations in cavity walls without in-wall housings are possible in materials 
that have a thickness of 3 to 25 mm/0.18 to 1 in. 

1.  Prepare the opening for the FlatMount Frame 

(W x H: 

107 

107

 

mm

). Measure the thick-

ness of the material. Cut the long clamp-
ing brackets that are included with the 
FlatMount Frame to the correct length 
according to the thickness of the material. 

Replace the short clamping brackets that 
are attached to the FlatMount Frame by 
the ones you just shortened. 

2.  To  facilitate  the  installation,  there  are 

notches for the clamping brackets on three 
corners of the FlatMount Frame. After you 
have attached the long clamping brackets 
to the FlatMount Frame, turn three of the 
clamping brackets so that they fit into the notches. Turn the fourth clamping 
bracket (on the corner without notch) downwards.  

3.  Insert the FlatMount Frame into the opening. Make sure that the red knob 

is on the lower left corner and that the arrow on the red knob points at the 
“open lock” icon. Insert the lower left edge of the frame first, then follow 
with the lower right edge. After that, slightly pull the lower part of the 
FlatMount Frame back out. This causes the upper part of the FlatMount Frame 
to “fall” into the opening.

!

Caution:

 In situations, in which a theft protection is not necessary, 

e.g., indoor installations, 

do not activate the theft protection (the 

red knob remains in the “open lock” position). If you twist the knob 
by mistake, you have to be able to attach a battery (9 V DC) to the 
theft protection wires! Otherwise, you will not be able to remove the 
module from the frame any more.

4.  Tighten the screws. Make sure that you do not overtighten the screws. The 

ends of the clamping brackets hold the FlatMount Frame to the surface.

Initial Operation

Make sure that all cameras you want to use with the Mx are running 
firmware version 4.2.3 or higher. For updating the firmware on door stations, 
please see the 

Compact Guide: Firmware Update (www.mobotix.com > Sup-

port > Manuals > Software > Compact Guides).
To update the firmware, start a browser, enter the IP address of the Mx 
(user 

admin, password meinsm) and select Update System Software from 

the menu. By factory default, the Mx has been set to run as a DHCP 
client with an additional local IP address in the 10.x range (see label on the 
back of the device) with a network mask of 255.0.0.0.

Starting Up Door Station(s) and Setting Up Mx as Remote 

Station

The complete startup using only Mx will be possible with a later software 
version. Until this is the case, you need to follow the same steps as outlined 
in Chapters 2 to 4 of the 

T25 System Manual Part 2 (www.mobotix.com > 

Support > Manuals > IP Video Door Station).
1.  Power: All devices need a network connection and a power supply.
2.  Auto configuration: Carry out the auto configuration at the door station 

(see 

Section 2.1.3, «Start the Auto Configuration» in the afore-mentioned 

manual). When using several door stations, choose one door station as a 
master and then carry out the auto configuration on that door station. The 
auto configuration is completed by entering the Super PIN at the access 
modules (KeypadRFID or BellRFID).

3.  Access modules: The access modules used will now be set up one by 

one. This includes training the RFID cards, entering the contact/people/
PIN numbers of KeypadRFID modules and configuring the bell buttons on 
the BellRFID modules (see 

sections 2.2, «Set Up the KeypadRFID Access 

Module» and 2.3, «Set Up the BellRFID Access Module»).
Mx: Reboot the Mx by simultaneously holding the Envelope, 
Home and Key buttons until a beep sounds five times in a row. Start the 
Installation Wizard via 

Settings > Installation > Installation Wizard to 

change the language, the camera access password and all desired bells. 
You can keep all other settings.

Important: You have to enter the Super PIN as the password for the door 
stations. The Super PIN is the number you entered during auto configuration. 
After this, you should assign any existing door sensors and door lock sensors 
for each door station, deactivate the auto configuration and activate the 
recording (

Settings > Installation > Camera Configuration). If you have 

connected signal inputs or outputs, you also need to assign the doorbell 
and any sensors at the apartment door in 

Settings > Installation > Door 

Configuration > Floor Call. If a temperature sensor has been attached, 
you need to set its model in the 

Settings > MxDisplay Settings > Tem-

perature Sensor dialog.  

Caution:

 Note that you will not be able to get 

sensible temperature readings if the sensor is not in the list of supported 
sensors. When using several Mx units, you can set the parameters 
that you want to be the same on all devices (e.g., lock specific functions). 
After you have set these parameters, you can apply the configuration to all 
other Mx units (

Settings > Installation > Display Configuration > 

Manage Settings). Reboot all other Mx units (as described above) 
and, if applicable, configure individual settings. This also includes e.g., 
doorbells that are supposed to trigger a signal at the device.

Note: Other cameras besides door station cameras can be integrated into the 
system using the auto configuration. Make sure that the cameras are running 
as DHCP client (this is the factory default of camera software releases 

4.2.3 

and higher) and that the factory default password 

meinsm is still valid for 

the 

admin user.

Integrating Mx into an Existing Door System

1. Integrate the Mx into the network with the MOBOTIX door stations 

and MOBOTIX cameras as described in the supplied Mx Quick Install. 
Then establish the power supply (using PoE or an external power supply).

2. After  the  Mx  has  been  connected,  it  shows  the  date  and  time 

(stand-by mode). Start the Installation Wizard (tap on the screen and select 
Installation Wizard). Then follow the steps and assign the desired bells to 
the Mx. This can be changed later on in 

Settings > Installation > 

Display Configuration > Assign Door Bells

Connecting and Inserting the Mx into the Frame

Power Supply and Network Connection With Installation Cable

1.  Prepare Installation Cable 

Cut the installation cable to length, strip it and separate the twisted wire 
pairs into eight individual wires. Make sure that you can still identify the 
wire pairs later on. Cut the wire ends to length and strip the insulation, 
pull the shield mesh together and twist it so that you can attach it onto 
the contact surface later on (see figure below).

2.  Connect Wires

Open the cover on the back of the Mx. Push the individual wires 
through the holes and insert them into the terminals of the lower row 
according to the color codes on the sticker (see fig.). Fasten the shield mesh 
onto the contact surface (red circle in fig.) and close the cover.

Connect Wires

Prepare Installation Cable

Note: To release a wire, unlock the terminal by pressing with the screw-
driver (included with delivery) into the opening above the wire. Then pull 
out the wire.

3.  Connect Installation Cable

Connect the installation cable to a patch cable and to the PoE switch and 
establish the power supply.

WiFi Network Connection, External Two-Wire Power Supply

1.  Connect Two-Wire Cable

Cut the wire ends to length. Open the cover on the back of the Mx 
and push the wire ends through two of the openings of the single-wire 
sealing. Then insert the wire ends into the holes of the power terminal 
(GND and VCC, see fig.). Close the cover.   

2.  Set up Mx as WiFi Client

Once the Mx is running, it has to be set up as a WiFi client (

Instal-

lation > Display Configuration > WiFi).

Connecting Signal Inputs/Outputs and Temperature Sensor

If someone rings the doorbell, you can activate the intercom or open the door 
using the Mx. To be able to do so, the doorbell and the door opener 
need to be connected to the signal outputs of Mx and – optionally – a 
door sensor and a door lock sensor can be connected to the signal inputs. 
Open the cover on the back of the Mx and push the wire ends through 
the openings of the single-wire sealing. Then insert the wire ends into the 
corresponding holes in the two upper rows of the terminal (see figure).

Note that the signal inputs and outputs still need to be assigned in the Mx 
(see 

«Initial Operation» further below).

Notes on Connecting: The signal output is potential-free (i.e., it does not 
carry current) and needs to be connected to the door opener together with an 
external power supply. You can connect potential-free wires (e.g., door sensor) 
as well as live wires (e.g., doorbell) to the galvanically separated signal inputs. 
When connecting a contact with DC power supply (e.g., doorbell), you need to 
respect the polarity. Note that the "+" and "–" labels on the signal inputs of 
older Mx devices had been swapped by accident. Regardless of the 
labeling, the actual polarity corresponds to the figure above.
In addition, you can connect a temperature sensor to the Mx. The two 
wires are connected to the terminals labeled "

T+/T–

" (see fig. above). Please 

note that you can only use specific temperature sensors at the moment. To find 
a list of supported temperature sensors, please open

 www.mobotix.com > 

Support > Manuals > Network Technology / Home Automation > MxDisplay
Once you have connected all the wires you need, you can close the cover on 
the back of the Mx.

Note: In order to use the signal inputs/outputs and the temperature sensor, 
please make sure that the MxDisplay is running software release 2.1 or higher.

Inserting the Mx Into a Frame

Make sure that the seal has been positioned properly on the back of the 
Mx and that the protective foil on the front has been removed. Insert 
the Mx into the frame with its right side first (this applies for both the 
single frame and the FlatMount Frame). Then push the Mx on the left 
side into the frame until it clicks into place.

Releasing the Mx From a Frame

1.  Single Frame

Insert the key (included with the delivery of the single frame) into the 
two slots on the lower left corner of the frame and push upwards. The 
Mx is released on the left side, so you can pull it from the frame.

2.  FlatMount Frame

Insert the ruler (included with the FlatMount Frame) into the slit on the 
lower left in such a way that the upper part of the ruler is on the same level 
as the lower part of the Mx image area. Push the outer end of the 
ruler downwards (see fig. on the right). The Mx is released on the 
left side, so you can pull it from the frame.
