Installation of an NXD-500i Touch Panel

The NXD-500i can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP5i Rough-In Box or other solid surface environment, using solid surface screws or the included locking tabs as mounting options. The following sections describe mounting the touch panel directly into a pre-wall rough-in box, a solid surface, drywall, or an NXA-RK5 Rack Mount Kit.

Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box

The CB-TP5i Rough-In Box (FG038-11) is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a stud/beam in a pre-wall setting, where no walls are present. Installation procedures and configurations can vary, depending on the installation environment. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenarios.

In order to guarantee a stable installation of the NXD-500i, the distance between the CB-TP5i and the outer wall surface must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm).

Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings, to allow any necessary cutout adjustments, is highly recommended.

1.Attach the optional Back Cover for the CB-TP5i (FG038-12) if necessary.

2.Fasten the CB-TP5i Rough-In Box to the stud through the holes on the Stud Mounting tabs (FIG. 5), using either nails or screws.

Installation

5.Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD-500i device into the CB-TP5i.

Installing the NXD-500i panel within a Rough-In Box

The Rough-In Box must be mounted prior to continuing this section. Refer to the procedures in the Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box section on page 9 for detailed pre-wall installation instructions. Verify that all necessary cables have been threaded through the knockouts on the left of the Rough-In Box and the connections have been tested prior to installation of the NXD-500i.

1.Remove the Faceplate bezel (A in FIG. 6) from the main NXD-500i unit (B in FIG. 6) by gripping the faceplate from the top and lifting up and then pulling with gentle outward force.

Be sure to pull the faceplate UP before pulling it out and away from the rest of the device. Pulling straight outward may lead to damage to the faceplate, including breaking off the tabs that attach the faceplate to the device.

2.Gently unscrew the two screws attaching the NXD-500i to its back box. These are at the bottom of the device, underneath the touch screen. Carefully remove the NXD-500i from the back box.

While the screws are loosened, you can adjust the LCD to ensure it is parallel to the sides of the backbox, if necessary. While adjusting the LCD is possible, it is not required in most cases.

3.Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring from their terminal locations through the surface opening. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

4.Push the back box into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the back box.

5.Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the back box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the back box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom tabs is highly recommended. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush

with the wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall. The back box is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall. This also allows visual confirmation if the entire assembly has to be removed from the wall for any reason.

The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the back box is 105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the locking tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the tabs or damage the back box.

6.Connect both connectors to their corresponding locations along the left side of the NXD-500i touch panel.

7.Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power via the PoE Injector. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.Test the incoming wiring by connecting the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power via the PoE Injector.

Unlike most AMX touchpanels, the NXD-500i comes with a clear plastic backbox (FIG. 7) designed to attach the panel to standard drywall. This backbox has a locking tab on three of the four faces (missing only on the face containing the space for the connections) to help lock the backbox to the wall. These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall.

FIG. 7 NXD-500i backbox with closed and open locking tabs

When installing the backbox, make absolutely sure that the assembly is in the correct position and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the backbox will be very difficult without having access to the back of the wall itself or damaging the wall.

Refer to the diagram for detailed installation dimensions as shown in FIG. 8.

Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings, in order to make any necessary cutout adjustments, is highly recommended.

1.Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.

2.Cut out the surface for the back box. Refer to the dimensions in FIG. 8 for more information.

Making sure that the actual cutout opening be slightly smaller than the provided dimensions is highly recommended. This action provides the installer with a margin for error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little drywall removed is always better than too much.

3.Remove the Faceplate/bezel (A in FIG. 9) from the main NXD-500i device (B in FIG. 9) by gripping the faceplate and pulling up and then out with gentle outward force.

4.Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring from their terminal locations through the surface opening. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

5.Connect both connectors to their corresponding locations along the left side of the NXD-500i touch panel.

Installation

Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall.

7.Push the back box into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the back box.

8.Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the back box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the back box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom tabs is highly recommended. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.

The back box is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall. This also allows visual confirmation if the entire assembly has to be removed from the wall for any reason.

9.Install the NXD-500i into the back box.

10.The microphone cable is taped to the back box. Connect the microphone cable to its connector, making sure that the cable does not interfere with reattachment of the Faceplate.

11.Install the two Plastite screws attaching the NXD-500i to the back box (FIG. 6).

12.Place the Faceplate/Trim Ring assembly (A in FIG. 9) back onto the main NXD-500i unit (B in FIG. 9). Make sure to align the Microphone, Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front faceplate/bezel.

13.Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on the Ethernet port and NetLinx Master.

NXD-500i Touch Panel Accessories

The following section outlines and describes both the included accessories and other AMX equipment available for the NXD-500i.

PS-POE-AF PoE Injector

The PS-POE-AF PoE Injector (FG423-80) is a single-port, self-contained Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power supply that delivers both DC power and data to PoE-equipped devices by “injecting” DC power through a Cat5 Ethernet cable (FIG. 14). The PoE Injector allows devices such as the NXD-500i to function without an additional power connection other than an Ethernet connection.

FIG. 14 PS-POE-AF Power-Over-Ethernet Power Supply

Power-over-Ethernet eliminates the need for an AC outlet at each device installation point, resulting in easier and less expensive installation. It also can be used to extend the distance between the PoE devices and standard power outlets by up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Each PoE Injector may be used for one device’s power needs. Multiple devices in a network that require PoE will require multiple Injectors.

FIG. 18 System Connection page

The two possible Master Connection Types available are USB or Ethernet.

A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC, which is acting as a Virtual Master.

An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into a panel that is already active before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver.
