Introduction AMX has taken a quantum leap forward with the release of their new VG-Series of Modero touch panels. These panels offer streaming MPEG video, high-definition Component RGB input and display, USB support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port. The new G4 graphics and Video/RGB technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program. These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video). Multimedia Streaming Video Touch Panels (VG-Series) Although these panels are similar to the 1200V models, in that they both share connectors for USB communication and Audio/Video distribution; the VG-Series far exceed those panels by additionally providing RGB Component video display, MPEG streaming technology, and pass-thru computer control. These panels are capable of NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized video windows. These VG-Series panels display HDTV Component video (fed from an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box and then through an internal NXA-RGB card). In addition to composite video support, the new VG-Series of panels now feature USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and pre-installed antennas for all Table Top models. Powered by a cutting-edge DSP core, the VG-Series has the muscle to handle digital streaming (both video and audio), in wired or wireless configurations. These Moderos feature full support for standard MPEG-2 streaming video as well as MP3 and AAC streaming audio. The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) facilitates the installation and distribution of video (Composite and Component), data, audio, and pass-thru Computer Control to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the NXA-AVB/RGB box. The VG-Series of touch panels can be fitted for either Video (Composite) or RGB (Component) via the use of two Kit configurations: Video Kit and RGB Kit. Each kit comes with its own group of standard components that are specific to its configuration. Although a panel can be order with either of these kits; a previously fitted Video Kit panel can be later upgraded to accept and display RGB Component via the use of an RGB upgrade package called the NXA-RGBKIT (FG2255-11). This upgrade kit supplements the existing Video fitted panel (FG225X-XXV) with such things as an internal NXA-RGB interface card and an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. The Video Kit fitted units can accept either Composite or S-Video from standard video devices. These Composite video panels include those listed below: Modero Multimedia Touch Panels (VG-Series with Video Kits) NXD-1200VG (FG2251-61V) 12" Modero Multimedia WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1200VG (FG2250-61V) 12" Modero Multimedia Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXD-1500VG (FG2253-61V) 15" Modero Multimedia WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1500VG (FG2252-61V) 15" Modero Multimedia Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXD-1700VG (FG2256-61V) 17" Modero Widescreen WallMount Touch Panel with Video Kit. NXT-1700VG (FG2257-61V) 17" Modero Widescreen Table Top Touch Panel with Video Kit.

The Video Kits include the following components: z Modero VG-Series Touch Panel (NXD or NXT) (FG225X-XXV) z Modero 10’ foot Table Top Cable (CA2250-50) z NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box (FG2254-10) These panels are capable of displaying both Composite video and High-Definition Component RGB, bringing together both Video and RGB capability together into one panel. Modero Video/RGB-compatible panels utilize an internal NXA-RGB interface card (combined with an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box) to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB and HDTV Component video signals. An existing Video Kit fitted VG-Series touch panel (Video only) can be upgraded to display RGB input by purchasing a separate NXA-RGBKIT. These Video/RGB panels include those listed below: The RGB Kits include the following components: z Modero VG-Series Touch Panel (NXD or NXT) (FG225X-XXRGB) z NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) z NXA-RGB internal RGB/VGA Interface Card (FG2260) (pre-installed) z NXA-MTC/RGB Modero 10’ foot Table Top Cable (with RGB connector) (CA2250-70) z NXA-RGBCBL, 15-pin to 5X BNC RGB Breakout cable (FG2250-80) Product Specifications (NXD-1200VG and NXT-1200VG) The following table outlines the specifications for VG-Series of 12" Modero panels.

19 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Touch Panel Accessories Overview The following section outlines and describes both the included accessories and other AMX equipment available for both the Video and Video/RGB models of touch panels. NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) The NXA-AVB/RGB Ethernet/RGB Breakout Box allows any of AMX’s VG-Series Modero Touch Panels to accept and display both RGB or HDTV Component signals directly from an external source. Through this single connection point, the 12”, 15” and 17” VG-Series Modero panels experience comprehensive connectivity for audio/video distribution, power, Ethernet connectivity, and RGB. FIG. 2 shows the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box is available either separately or as part of AMX’s exclusive RGB Kit (NXA-RGBKIT). The RGB Breakout Box (combined with the panel’s internal NXA-RGB interface card) allows the Modero to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB and HDTV Component video signals. The NXA-AVB/RGB stands out amongst all previous AMX Breakout Boxes in that it is firmware upgradeable, feeds high quality video signals via RJ-45 cables, and provides keyboard and mouse pass-through functionality via the rear USB connector. When working with firmware, it is important to note that version 1.xx of firmware should only be loaded onto box’s using 1.xx series firmware. The version 2.xx firmware should only be loaded onto box's running 2.xx series firmware. To confirm the box’s current firmware version, you can either navigate to the BOB Version field on the RGB Adjustment page or launch NetLinx Studio and open the Online Tree tab. Modero-VG touch panel firmware 2.60.27 or higher is required to download v2.xx firmware into the break out box.

21 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels RGB RJ-45 connection and wiring information This RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the RGB / Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to the VG-Series Modero panel. Standard CAT5 cable can be used for this connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs over 50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance VideoTwist 7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed to control skew between the red, green, and blue video signals. Therefore, for longer cable runs, the video quality will be much higher using the Belden VideoTwist 7987 cable versus standard CAT5 (or other Ethernet compliant cables). The pinout of this RGB connector is given in the table below. NXA-AVB/RGB Specifications (Cont.) Other AMX Equipment: • AC-RK Equipment Rack Kit (FG575) • NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top cable (CA2250-70) • NXA-RGBCBL, 15-pin to 5X BNC RGB Breakout cable (FG2250-80) The Belden cable only adjusts for RGB skew but may still need to be configured properly for cable length by using the Cable Variance setting on the RGB Adjustment page (Video Adjustment - RGB Adjustment Page section on page 142).

23 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Use the NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top cable (CA2250-70) to provide both communication and 10/100 network connectivity between the panel, NXA-AVB/RGB, NetLinx Master, and the network. Wiring the NXA-AVB/RGB connectors and cables The inputs and outputs on this breakout box are separated into front and rear connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front connectors are used to communicate signals between the NXA-AVB/RGB and a target Modero panel. The front RGB RJ-45 connector both receives one-way RGB video signals from the breakout box and uses this same connector as a two-way communication point for pass-thru control data from the panel’s USB connector through to the communicating computer. The NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top cable (CA2250-70) provides an RJ-45 Ethernet connector for data, an RJ-45 connector for Audio/Video, and a third RJ-45 connector for both pass-thru control and RGB signal feed to the panel’s internal NXA-RGB input card. FIG. 4 provides a layout of the wiring connection both into and from the breakout box. The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right): The breakout box unit can be mounted on either a horizontal flat surface or into an equipment rack (by removing the front screws and attaching it to an optional AC-RK). The power supply being used on the NXA-AVB/RGB is dependant on the power requirements of the target touch panel.

24 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Wiring the NXA-AVB/RGB for Unbalanced Audio Most domestic audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0 V" or "Ground". Typical connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors, DIN plugs/sockets, and 0.25" (6.3mm) or 3.5mm jack plugs/sockets. Unbalanced audio is adequate for most domestic environments and for line-level signals in a typical broadcast studio. Problems may occur if the signals are carried over long distances, especially if the source and destination have separate main supplies. Use the following wiring drawing (FIG. 5) to configure an unbalanced audio connection. When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 5), the "-" and the "GND" terminals should be connected together and then connected to the GND of the unbalance audio signal. When connecting to an unbalanced audio input from the MIC OUT connector (FIG. 5), wire the "+" terminal to the signal input, and the "GND" terminal to the signal ground. • MIC OUT: 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal connectors. An example of this cable is to strip the terminal ends of a 3.5mm mini-jack and insert them into their respective locations on the Mic Out port. This signal can be fed as a Line Level In to either an amplifier or an AMX VOL card. Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this output. • AUDIO IN: 6-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. Each channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors (2 sets of 3 for each channel). An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert them into their respective locations on the Audio In port. Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this input. • USB: Type-B USB device port input connector for pass-thru computer control. This port provides two-way signal between the keyboard and mouse (connected to the rear/side USB connectors on the Modero panel) through the front RGB connector on the breakout box, out the rear USB Type-B connector, and then to/from the connected computer. • PWR: 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it through the NXA-AVB/RGB (rear power connector through to the front power connector). • ETHERNET: RJ-45 connector routes data to the G4 panel through the front Ethernet port. These connections use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the target panel, box, and Master. • Video In BNCs: Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into the NXA-AVB/RGB. This feed is then redirected out to a Modero panel through the front Audio/Video CAT5 port. Note: Although the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box can accept either a Composite or S-Video input signal type, only one input source can be used at a time. This unit does not auto-detect the incoming signal type. Using S-Video would require a cable split and a simultaneous connection to both the COMP/Y and C connectors (which would prevent an additional Composite signal from being fed into the unit). A user should not try to connect two Composite video signal cables to the COMP/Y and C connectors.

25 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Wiring the NXA-AVB/RGB for Balanced Audio Professional audio equipment will often use balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR" connectors. A balanced audio signal consists of a pair of wires carrying the audio signal in anti-phase with each other (if one wire carries a positive voltage, the other carries an equal and opposite negative voltage). The advantage of balanced audio over unbalanced audio is its ability to reject external interference added as the signal is carried over the wire. The receiving equipment takes the voltage difference between the two wires as the input signal. Interference will usually get added to both wires equally, and so gets cancelled by the receiving equipment. The 3 wires used in a typical XLR lead are often referred to as Ground, Live (Hot) and Return (Cold). "Live" and "Return" carry the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" versions of the audio respectively. The pins of the XLR plug/socket are as follows: When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 6), use all three audio terminals (+, -, and GND), then connect the "+" terminal to the "live" signal, the "-" terminal to the "return" signal, and the "GND" terminal to the ground signal. FIG. 5 Wiring the rear AUDIO IN and MIC OUT for use with Unbalanced Audio • X = Ground • L = Live (Hot) • R = Return (Cold) FIG. 6 Wiring the rear MIC OUT connector for use with Balanced Audio Unbalanced IN GND IN- IN+ GND IN- IN+ Left Channel Right Channel (Jumper IN- to GND) Unbalanced OUT GND OUT- OUT+ Microphone Unbalanced IN (Jumper IN- to GND) AUDIO IN MIC OUT Balanced OUT GND OUT- OUT+ Ground signal Return signal Line signal

26 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Preparing your panel for Pass-Thru Control (using the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box) Pass-thru control allows the NXA-AVB/RGB to act as a control bridge between the USB input signals (coming from a touch panel via the NXA-RGB card) and a target computer. z The pass-thru is routed from the USB Input device, through the panel, then through internal NXA-RGB card and to the front RGB RJ-45 connector on the NXA-AVB/RGB. From there the signal is routed through the rear USB port on the breakout box and finally to the target PC. Refer to FIG. 7 for a visual representation. The two available USB input connections on the touch panel can be used to provide either Keyboard and/or Mouse signals between the PC and the panel. You are no longer limited to one mouse and one keyboard. You can use USB hubs and multiple mice/keyboards in any configuration. When setting up pass-thru computer control its important to focus on the following areas: 1. Properly connect the NXA-AVB/RGB to both a target PC and touch panel using the appropriate cabling. Refer to the following Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control section on page 27 for more detailed information. 2. Enable pass-thru via the use of either the ^MPS or ^KPS commands (page 225). 3. Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Fill > (Component/RGB video) properties selected. Video Fill allows you to select from a drop-down list of video formats that are supported by the touch panel specified in your project. VG-Series Modero panels (1200VG, 1500VG and 1700VG) support Composite video, Component/RGB video, and Streaming video formats. z Selecting Component/RGB allows you to route a video signal from your computer through the NXA-AVB/RGB and then to the panel. z Selecting Streaming Video requires that you enter the URL or IP Address of the server that will provide the video stream. 4. Set up a touch panel page (via TPDesign4) with the necessary Video Touch Pass-thru property (yes) selected. z Video Pass-Thru allows you to pass touch/control information from a touch input device (touch panel, mouse or keyboard) through an NXA-AVB/RGB to a controlled device with video-out capabilities. Select Yes from the drop-down menu to enable video pass-thru (disabled by default). This feature is also used in conjunction with the ^MPS (mouse pass-thru) and ^KPS (keyboard pass-thru) commands. Pass-thru must be enabled to control devices through the NXA-RGB card when using USB-compatible control devices. Refer to the following commands to enable pass-thru on the RGB card: ^MPS on page 225 for Mouse pass-thru and ^KPS on page 225 for the keyboard pass-thru. Note that Streaming Source is only available as a Video Fill option if the project specifies a touch panel that supports streaming video (NXD/NXT-1200VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG, and NXD/NXT-1700VG only).

27 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Wiring for Pass-Thru Computer Control 1. Discharge any acquired static electricity by touching a grounded metal object. 2. Turn-off your computer and remove any installed power cables. Review FIG. 7 for an overview of the overall wiring configuration surrounding pass-thru control. 3. Use an HD-15 video cable to create a connection between the computer’s video output connector and the HD-15 D-Sub RGB/VGA/Component connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This HD-15 D-Sub RGB/VGA/Component connector on the breakout box is used to route an RGB (computer) or Component (DVD/HDTV) signal to a target Modero panel (using the internal NXA-RGB card). 4. Use a Type-A to Type-B USB cable to create a connection from USB connector on the computer to the rear Type-B USB device port input connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This connection routes pass-thru computer control from the touch panel, to the front RGB RJ-45 connector, and then through the rear USB port to the PC. Touch information is sent to and from the panel via this two-way connector. 5. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate by connecting an RJ-45 10/100baseT Ethernet connector from the rear Ethernet port on the breakout box to a valid Ethernet Hub. 6. Connect the incoming power connector to the 12 VDC power connector on the rear of the box. DO NOT CONNECT POWER UNTIL THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED. 7. Use the NXA-MTC/RGB to create a connection between the NXA-AVB/RGB and the target VG-Series touch panel. Refer to the following NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top Cable (CA2250- 70) section on page 28 for more detailed cable information. 8.

All 1200V-Series, VG-Series, and Table Top CV10 panels require the installation of an appropriate number of CAT5 Suppression Ferrites when they use an RJ-45 cable to feed an A/V signal from the breakout box. The CAT5 Suppression Ferrites MUST be installed onto the cable connected to the Modero’s Audio/Video RJ-45 connector (just behind the connector).

31 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 5. Repeat this process again only when installing an additional CAT5 Suppression Ferrite (model specific). NXA-RGB RGB/VGA Interface Card (FG2260) The NXA-RGB (FIG. 12) is an RGB/VGA plug-in interface card that allows any of AMX’s VG-Series Modero Touch Panels to accept either RGB or HDTV Component signals directly from an external source when routed through an optional NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. This card is field upgradeable and works in-tandem with the RGB connector on the front of an NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. The NXA-RGB card is an optional accessory (already installed within Video/RGB panels) that can be added to any VG-Series Video Modero panel as part of an upgrade kit. The NXA-RGB card is a daughter card that plugs into the Modero’s main board. This card provides the ability to display computer graphics (RGB) or component (YCrCb) video within a full screen or resizable on-screen window on the Modero panel. The NXA-RGB card must be used with the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. This breakout box allows the Modero to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB as well as HDTV Component video signals. This box then converts the RGB or component video so that it can be sent across a UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable to the from the rear RGB/Component DB-15 connector (rear of the box), through the front RGB RJ-45 connector, and then to the panel via the RJ-45 connector on the installed NXA-RGB card.

33 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Supported Component/VGA Video Resolutions and Formats RGB RJ-45 connection and wiring information This RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the RGB / Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to the VG-Series Modero panel. Standard CAT5 cable can be used for this connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs over 50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance VideoTwist 7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed to control skew between the red, green, and blue video signals. Therefore, for longer cable runs, the video quality will be much higher using the Belden VideoTwist 7987 cable versus standard CAT5 (or other Ethernet compliant cables).

58 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Pre-wall Installation of the Conduit Boxes Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within a metallic outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing the NXD into a conduit box (CB-TP15 or CB-TP12). The back box is only removed to either gain access for the replacement of the Memory/Compact Flash or upgrade the unit with an MB-TP Universal VESA Mounting Kit. The most important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the mounting tabs must be mounted flush against the outside of the sheetrock. The CB-TP12 and CB-TP15 conduit wallboxes are optional metallic boxes that are secured onto stud beams prior to the installation of a solid surface. Installation procedures and configurations can vary. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario. 1. Fasten the CB-TP15 or CB-TP12 to a stud through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the conduit box (FIG. 38), by using either nails or screws. 2. Remove any necessary wiring knockouts from the (optional) conduit box (CB-TP12/15) (C in FIG. 39) where the necessary cables are threaded through for connection to the touch panel. 3. Thread the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring through the knockouts. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines for the 1200VG and 1500VG Panels section on page 68 for pinout descriptions. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. 4. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD unit into the CB-TP12/15. INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the conduit box has been installed. FIG. 38 Screw locations for conduit box attachment in a pre-wall installation Drywall/ Stud Knockouts should be located on the left-side of the CB-TP Conduit Wallbox conduit box, alongside the connectors Stud fastening holes Use the four #4-40 Mounting Screws to secure the NXD to the conduit box at these sheetrock Mounting tabs for NXD panel should be flush with the outside of the sheetrock locations

59 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Installation of the NXD Touch Panel The NXD panel can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP12/15 or other solid surface environment using the two different mounting options: drywall clips or solid surface screws. The following sections describe mounting the touch panel directly into a pre-wall installed conduit box, a solid surface or drywall, and optional NXA-RK Rack Mount Kit. Installing the NXD panel within a Conduit Box The conduit box must be mounted prior to continuing this section. Refer to the procedures in the Pre-wall Installation of the Conduit Boxes section on page 58 for detailed pre-wall installation instructions.

Wiring Guidelines for the 1200VG and 1500VG Panels These Modero panels use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the previously referenced power requirements 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. Preparing captive wires You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires. 1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires. 2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section). 3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector. Wiring a power connection To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix 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. 48). 1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix 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. These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out. Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete. Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections. FIG. 48 NetLinx power connector wiring diagram PWR + GND - To the Touch Panel Power Supply

71 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Installation Procedures: 17" Panels Overview NXT panels are mounted onto flat (horizontal) surfaces in either a stand-alone or combo (NXT atop an NXA-BASE/B battery base) configuration. NXD panels are installed into either a pre-wall surface (using the CB-TP17 conduit/wallbox) or a solid surface (using either solid surface or drywall screws). Unpacking the Panel 1. Inspect and confirm the contents of the shipment box to verify that you have all specified parts. Refer to the Specifications section on page 12 for more information about included accessories and other AMX equipment. 2. Carefully remove the panel from the shipping box. 3. Carefully peel the protective plastic cover from the LCD. Installing the Internal Components Installation of the internal components such as the NXA-PCI80211G Wireless card and NXA-RGB Interface card are described in detail within the following sections: z Step 2: Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card section on page 38. z Step 3: Install the NXA-RGB Card Component (NXT) section on page 39. Upgrading the Back Box with the MB-TP17 VESA Housing Upgrading the existing back box with the new VESA Mounting Kit (FG033-50) requires 3 main processes: z Removing the pre-existing back box and installing the new VESA back box. z Threading cables through the strain relief grommet opening in the rear plastic cover. z Finalizing the installation of the NXD (with VESA back box and cables) into the plastic cover, securing both components, and finalizing the strain relief grommet installation. Removing the Original Modero Back Box 1. Detach all connectors from the side of the touch panel. 2. Remove the magnetic faceplate from the NXD-1700VG unit by gripping the faceplate and pulling outwards while applying a small amount of pressure to remove it from the main unit. 3. Place the LCD face-down on a soft cloth to expose the back of the panel and prevent scratching of the LCD. If the protective plastic LCD cover is not removed, the panel may not respond properly to touch points on the LCD or allow proper screen calibration. The new MB-TP17 Universal VESA Mounting Box uses a standard VESA installation pattern of 75 mm between holes. VESA mounts that conform to this pattern can be used on the MB-TP17 Housing.

72 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 4. Unscrew the Stereo Output nut from the Stereo Output jack. 5. Remove the I/O connector plate by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws and slide the I/O connector plate away from the back box housing. 6. Remove the four pan-head Housing Screws from the rear of the NXD unit (FIG. 51). These screws secure the back box to the internal panel casing. 7. Lift the back box housing to separate it from the internal panel casing. Installing the MP-TP17 Back Box 1. Unscrew the four pan-head Housing Screws (#8-32) from the MB-TP17 rear plastic cover. 2. Gently place the MB-TP17 back box over the internal panel casing (with the cable routing hole on the right-side of the panel). 3. Re-install and secure the four pan-head Housing Screws into their pre-drilled holes along the edges of the MB-TP17 back box (FIG. 52) and secure them using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver. 4. Place the I/O connector plate back over the connector opening and align the connector locations. 5. Resecure the I/O connector plate (using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver) and resecure the Stereo Output nut on the Stereo Output jack. DO NOT REMOVE THE PANEL SECURING SCREWS. These screws secure the LCD to the metallic casing underneath.

73 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Cable Installation for the MP-TP17 Back Box 1. Connect the cable connectors (RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring) to their respective locations along the side of the touch panel. 2. Use the tie-wrap (45-0009A) to wrap the cables together inside the VESA Mount enclosure. This cable tie is used to insure the cable will not pull through or work itself through the new larger strain relief grommet (45-0032-01) over time. 3. Thread the incoming cables through the hole on the rear plastic cover and then through the strain relief grommet. 4. Slide the grommet along the cable and securely insert it into the opening on the rear plastic cover (FIG. 52). Finalizing the installation 1. Gently place the rear plastic cover over the NXD panel (with LCD and MB-TP17 back box). 2. Insert the protruding cables, coming out from the opening on the rear plastic cover, into the open strain relief grommet. 3. Allow some slack/length on these cables as a service loop. This service loop provides enough cable length so you can later remove the NXD (with connected cables) from the rear plastic cover.

Firmly push the Strain Relief Grommet into the opening (toward the inside) until the rim is securely flush against the back of the rear plastic cover (FIG. 53). 6. Securely grasp both sides of the NXD panel (with LCD, MB-TP17 back box, and attached cables), rotate the entire unit over, and lie it on a flat level surface. 7. Note the available mounting contact surface area on the rear plastic cover (FIG. 53). This area represents the space available for use with a VESA connector plate. 8. Insert and secure the ten #6-32 securing screws into their pre-drilled holes along the edges of the NXD unit (FIG. 52). This step secures the NXD unit to the rim of the rear plastic cover. 9. Align a VESA mount connector (purchased separately) to the four #8-32 screw holes on the back of the rear plastic cover (FIG. 53). 10. Insert the four provided #8-32 screws through the VESA mount’s four holes and then into the pre- drilled holes on the rear plastic cover. 11. Secure these four #8-32 screws to the rear plastic cover by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver. This step secures the VESA mount to the rear of the panel. VERIFY THE LENGTH AND LOCATION OF THE INSERTED CABLES. ONCE THE STRAIN RELIEF GROMMET IS CLOSED, IT IS DIFFICULT TO RE-OPEN. Verify the Strain Relief Grommet is securely closed over the cables and the clip is facing the correct direction (upwards). The process of securing the strain relief grommet may require the use of pliers. Also verify the length and location of the inserted cables. Once the strain relief grommet is closed, it is difficult to re-open.

75 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Refer to your particular VESA mount manufacturer’s installation procedures for further surface mounting procedures. Pre-wall Installation of the CB-TP17 Conduit Box Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within a metallic outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing the NXD into a Conduit Box (CB-TP17). The back box is only removed to gain access for the replacement of the Compact Flash component or upgrade to the VESA housing. The CB-TP17 Conduit/wallbox is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a beam in a pre-wall setting (where no walls or present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario. The most important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the mounting tabs must be mounted flush against the outside of the sheetrock. This step determines whether or not the mounting stud is notched (cutout-out to fit the conduit box). 1. Measure the distance between the inside of the two selected stud beams. Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.072" (43.36 cm) wide CB-TP17 conduit box. 2. Determine whether one or both of the selected stud beams must be notched (FIG. 55). The determining factor is the flush alignment of the mounting tabs along the outside of the post-wall sheetrock. FIG. 54 Installation of grommet into the rear plastic enclosure Rear plastic cover (rear view) Rim of the strain relief grommet should lie flush against enclosure CLIP FACING UP VESA mount connection location (USE ONLY AMX PROVIDED #8-32 screws) INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the CB-TP17 has been mounted onto the beams. The stud notching and conduit box installation must be done prior to any wall installation.

76 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 3. Cutout the notched beam using a height of 13.554" (34.43 cm) (as shown below in FIG. 55) and a depth equal to the thickness of the drywall. 4. Insert one side of the conduit box into the indention on the notched stud and rest the other side of the box against the opposite beam. 5. Install and secure a shorter horizontal beam below the conduit box. This beam acts to support the weight of the box from below and should be secured to both vertical beams (at the sides). 6. Fasten the CB-TP17 to the Notched stud/beam through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the conduit box (FIG. 56), by using either nails or screws. 7. Insert a perpendicular block between the Non-Notched stud/beam and the Conduit Box. This block acts as a bridge to secure the stud/beam to the CB-TP17 along the stud fastening holes located inside of the box. 8. Secure the perpendicular block to the Non-Notched stud/beam (FIG. 56) by using either nails or screws. 9. Fasten the CB-TP17 to the block through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the Conduit Box (FIG. 56), by using either nails or screws. 10. Remove any necessary wiring knockouts from the (optional) conduit box (CB-TP17) (FIG. 56) where the necessary cables are threaded through for connection to the touch panel. 11. Thread the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring through the knockouts (use of the top or bottom knockouts are recommended with this installation). Refer to the Wiring Guidelines for the 1700VG Panels section on page 87 for pinout descriptions. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. 12. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD unit into the CB-TP17. FIG. 55 CB-TP17 conduit box installation into a notched stud (showing before and after installation) Mounting tabs flush on 17.07" ~14" to 16" the OUTSIDE of sheetrock 13.554" (34.43 cm) (43.36 cm) Before After Use a block to secure the Conduit Box to the notched stud Horizontal support beam The determining factor in the depth of the cut into the beam is the thickness of the drywall. The mounting tabs MUST BE FLUSH against the drywall and therefore, the depth of the notch depends on that thickness.

77 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Installation of an NXD-1700VG The NXD-1700VG can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP17 or other solid surface environment using the two different mounting options: drywall clips or solid surface screws. The following sections describe mounting the touch panel directly into an installed pre-wall Conduit Box, a solid surface or drywall, and optional NXA-RK17 Rack Mount Kit. Installing the NXD-1700VG within a CB-TP17 Conduit Box The conduit box must be mounted prior to continuing this section. Refer to the procedures in the Pre-wall Installation of the CB-TP17 Conduit Box section on page 75 for detailed pre-wall installation instructions. Verify that all necessary cables have been threaded through the knockouts on the conduit box and the connections have been tested prior to installation of the NXD-1700VG. 1. Remove the magnetic faceplate/bezel (A in FIG. 57) from the main NXD unit (B in FIG. 57) by gripping the faceplate and pulling with gentle outward force. 2. Verify the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video cables have been properly threaded through the wiring knockouts on the left of the conduit box. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. 3. Connect all data and power wiring connectors to their corresponding locations along the side of the (un-powered) NXD touch panel. z Verify the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to a power supply before plugging in the 2-pin power connector. z The USB connectors can be from either a USB extension cable, or a wireless USB RF transmitter.

Carefully slide the main NXD unit (B in FIG. 57) into the conduit box, so the Mounting Tab lies flush against the conduit box (C in FIG. 57). 7. Insert and secure four securing #8 flat-head Mounting Screws into their corresponding holes located along the sides of the NXD (FIG. 57). These #8 screws are not included within the CB Installation Kit and must be provided by the installer. 8. Place the magnetic faceplate (A in FIG. 57) back onto the main NXD unit (B in FIG. 57). Make sure to align the Microphone, Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front bezel/faceplate. 9. Reconnect the terminal RJ-45, Ethernet, and any optional audio/video wiring to their respective locations (outside the conduit box) on either the NXA-AVB/RGB, Ethernet port, or NetLinx Master. 10. Reconnect the terminal power connector on the 12 VDC-compliant power supply and apply power.

79 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Installing the NXD-1700VG into drywall using Expansion Clips Expansion clips are mounted through the four oval holes located along the rim of the NXD-1700VG. As the screw is tightened, the clip bends toward the insertion hole and into the wall. This bending creates a "grip" on the wall by either pressing onto the wall or by securing the drywall between the housing and the drywall clip. The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD-1700VG Wall Mount is that the outer frame (Mounting Ridge) must be mounted flush against the mounting surface. Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer housing (back box) of the NXD-1700VG. 1. Determine which stud beam configuration to use: z Pre-wall framing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location and building codes). FIG. 58 shows show to mount and position the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment (for use with drywall clips). There is no notching of a beam in this method. The center vertical beam is cut out, attached, and secured to two horizontal beams, then further secured into place by an another offset vertical beam that "frames" the insertion area. This framing method provides a space of ~1.20 inches (30.63 mm) above and below the NXD unit to provide the drywall clips with room to secure themselves against the drywall. z With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no horizontal support beam "framing" in this method. Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall surface when making the cut into the drywall. FIG. 58 NXD-1700VG framing installation overview * * Enough room must be left for drywall clips to fold and collapse above and below Refer to the SP2256-11 engineering drawing on www.amx.com for more detailed framing information the back box Offset vertical beam

80 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 2. Locate the edges of the two studs used in this installation. The location of the NXD is site dependant and could involve notching more than one beam. 3. Remove any screws/nails from the drywall, along the notched beam, before beginning the cutout process. 4. Cut out the surface for the NXD-1700VG Wall Mount using the dimensions shown in FIG. 59. Be sure to cut out the four notches along the top and bottom areas to accommodate the four drywall expansion clips (provided). 5. Remove the magnetic faceplate/bezel (A in FIG. 60) from the main NXD unit (B in FIG. 60) by gripping the faceplate and pulling with gentle outward force. 6. Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 42 thru page 43 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back into the back box housing. INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE STUD AND THE BACK BOX MOUNTING RIDGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/ SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the back box has been mounted onto the beams. In this sample installation, the left beam is notched and the back box rests against the right beam. FIG. 59 NXD-1700VG Wall Mount panel dimensions using expansion clips * * * Top notches are not symmetrical Left Side Right Side Connectors

81 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 7. Carefully lay the separated LCD (from the main unit) onto a soft cloth resting on a level surface to prevent scratching of the LCD. 8. Insert the back box into the cutout to check for fit. Make any adjustments to the dimension of the cutout to accommodate the back box. 9. Cutout the notched beam (FIG. 59) using a height of 13.554" (34.43 cm) and a depth using the following guideline. This notched beam is located on the side of the NXD unit furthest away from the connectors. z Calculate the distance from the edge of the mounting ridge (FIG. 59) to the rear point (on the box) where the beam touches the back box. Our example uses 1 3/8" (inches) (on the deepest point of the rear back box). z Calculate the thickness of the drywall/sheetrock. Our example uses 5/8" (inches). z The depth of the notch: 1 3/8" minus 5/8" = 6/8" (inches). This value reflects the cutout depth necessary for the mounting ridge on the back box to be flush against the surface. 10. Thread the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring (from their terminal locations) through the cutout opening. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines for the 1700VG Panels section on page 87 for pinout descriptions. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 42 thru page 43 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back into the back box housing. 15. Install the four sets of drywall screws and expansion clips into the four oval notch locations along the top/bottom edges of the main unit (FIG. 60). Make sure the top drywall clip grooves face upwards and the bottom clip grooves face downwards (so they extend away from the Main unit). 16. Carefully insert the main unit (with expansion clips) into the cutout until the Mounting Tabs on the NXD unit lie flush against the wall (FIG. 60). Make sure to have the right side of the box resting against the non-notched beam (on the right) and the connector-side of the unit pressed into the notched beam (on the left). 17. Tighten the drywall clip sets (screws and clips) until the Mounting Tabs are securely fastened and flush against the wall. 18. Place the magnetic faceplate (A in FIG. 60) back onto the main NXD unit. Make sure to align the Microphone, Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front bezel/faceplate. 19. Reconnect the terminal RJ-45, Ethernet, and any optional audio/video wiring to their respective terminal locations on either the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box, Ethernet port, or NetLinx Master. 20. Reconnect the terminal power connector on the 12 VDC-compliant power supply and apply power. Don’t disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall. Replacement drywall clip sets must be ordered from AMX.

83 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels Installing the NXD-1700VG into a Flat Surface using #6 screws Mounting screws (#6, not included) are secured through two sets of circular holes located at the left and right sides of the NXD-1700VG. The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD Wall Mount is that the outer frame (Mounting Tabs) must be installed flush against the mounting surface. Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer housing (back box) of the NXD-1700VG. 1. Determine which stud beam configuration to use: z Pre-wall framing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location and building codes). Mount the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment by fitting the right side of the box against a beam, then notching the stud closest to the connectors (based on FIG. 61 and the depth of the drywall), and using the securing screws to fasten the unit into place after the drywall has been installed. A horizontal beam can be installed (framed) below the back box to provide lower support. z With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no horizontal support beam "framing" in this method. Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall surface when making the cut into the drywall. 2. Locate the edges of the two studs used in this installation. The location of the NXD is site dependant and could involve notching more than one beam. 3. Remove any screws/nails from the surface, along the notched beam, before beginning the cutout process. 4. Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 42 thru page 43 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back into the back box housing. 5. Cut out the surface for the Wall Mount using the dimensions shown in FIG. 61. INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE STUD AND THE BACK BOX MOUNTING RIDGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/ SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the back box has been mounted onto the beams. In this sample installation, the left beam is notched and the back box rests against the right beam.

85 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels 7. Carefully lay the separated LCD (from the main unit) onto a soft cloth resting on a level surface. This soft cloth prevents scratching during the rest of the installation procedure. 8. Insert the back box into the surface cutout to check for fit. Make any adjustments to the dimension of the cutout to accommodate the back box. 9. Cutout the notched beam (FIG. 62 on page 84) using a height of 13.554" (34.43 cm) and a depth using the following guideline. This notched beam is located on the side of the NXD unit furthest away from the connectors. z Calculate the distance from the edge of the mounting ridge (FIG. 62) to the rear point (on the box) where the beam touches the back box. Our example uses 1 3/8" (inches) (on the deepest point of the rear back box). z Calculate the thickness of the surface. Our example uses 5/8" (inches). z The depth of the notch: 1 3/8" minus 5/8" = 6/8" (inches). This value reflects the cutout depth necessary for the mounting ridge on the back box to be flush against the surface. 10. Thread the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring (from their terminal locations) through the cutout opening. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines for the 1700VG Panels section on page 87 for pinout descriptions. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. 11. Connect all data and power wiring connectors to their corresponding locations along the side of the (un-powered) NXD touch panel. z Verify the terminal end of the power cable is not connected to a power supply before plugging in the 2-pin power connector. z The USB connectors can be from either a USB extension cable, or a wireless USB RF transmitter. 12. Test the incoming wiring by connecting the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify the panel is receiving power and functioning properly before finalizing the installation. 13. Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the power supply. 14. Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 42 thru page 43 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back into the back box housing. 15. Carefully slide the main unit into the cutout until the Mounting Tabs of the NXD-1700VG unit lie flush against the wall. 16. Insert and secure the four #6 screws into their corresponding holes located along the sides of the NXD-1700VG (using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver) until the unit is secure and flush against the wall. 17. Place the magnetic faceplate (A in FIG. 62) back onto the main NXD unit. Make sure to align the Microphone, Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front bezel/faceplate. The determining factor in the depth of the cut into the beam is the thickness of the surface. The MOUNTING TAB MUST BE FLUSH against the surface and therefore, the depth of the notch depends on that thickness. Don’t disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the solid surface.

Make sure to align the Microphone, Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front bezel/faceplate. 11. Reconnect the terminal RJ-45, Ethernet, and any optional audio/video wiring to their respective terminal locations on either the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box, Ethernet port, or NetLinx Master. 12. Reconnect the terminal power connector on the 12 VDC-compliant power supply and apply power. Wiring Guidelines for the 1700VG Panels 1700VG panels use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the previously referenced power requirements 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. Preparing captive wires You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires. 1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires. 2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section). 3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector. Wiring a power connection To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector for use 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. 64). 1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix 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. These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out. Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete. Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections. FIG. 64 NetLinx power connector wiring diagram PWR + GND - To the Touch Panel Power Supply
