The following paragraphs describe installing the Wall Mount touch panel using the different types

of available methods and surfaces. The AXD panel can be installed either directly into the

(optional) CB-CV6 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 Rack Mount

Kit.

Installing the AXD panel into a Conduit Box (CB-CV6)

The CB-CV6 Conduit/wallbox is an optional metallic housing that is installed onto a beam in a

pre-wall setting. The CV6 is housed in a plastic backbox that ships with the unit. 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 AXD panel. To install Wall Mount touch panels into a

conduit/wallbox pre-mounted within a solid surface:

1. Remove the magnetically attached faceplate (A in FIG. 5) from the main AXD unit

(B in FIG. 5) by gripping the faceplate and pulling with gentle force.

2. Remove any necessary wiring cutouts from the pre-installed (optional) conduit box

(C in FIG. 5) (CB-CV6) where the AXlink cable is threaded through for connection to the

touch panel (FIG. 5). The snaps located along the side of the conduit/wallbox can be snapped

off or used to mount the unit to a hard surface (like a wooden support beam).

3. Verify the incoming cables have been properly threaded through the wiring knockouts (from

their terminal locations) on the conduit box. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate

any re-positioning of the panel.

4. Connect all data and power wiring connectors to their corresponding locations along the rear of

the (un-powered) AXD touch panel.

11. Position the faceplate/bezel (D in FIG. 17) above the enclosure base.

12. Securely grab the LCD and enclosure unit combo (enclosure unit is made up of the base and

faceplate).

13. Carefully flip the combo over onto a soft cloth to prevent scratching the faceplate during the

installation of the mounting blocks.

14. Insert the mounting blocks (B in FIG. 17) into the opening below both sides of the faceplate.

The elevated groove on the blocks should lie against the base enclosure.

15. Insert two of the provided enclosure screws into each of the mounting blocks and secure the

bracket to the faceplate by turning the screws using a clockwise motion. Repeat this step for

the second mounting block.

For the unpainted (Aluminum) configuration, the AMX logo will be included in the package (not attached). After the custom pain and finish (refer to the caution on page 13), please attach the self-adhesive AMX logo into the provided recess on the front of the panel and the rubber feet at the bottom of the unit.The attachment of the AMX logo is a strict AMX branding requirement.

If using the enclosed BNC connector (41-1077) to terminate the cable, use of a hexagonal crimp tool (with a 0.178 opening) for installation onto the red mini-coax cable (see FIG. 15 on page 14).

Wiring the Touch Panel

The AXD-CV6 uses a 4-pin AXlink connector for power and data.

IF NOT USING tabletop cable, the user must wire both AXlink and BNC cables for use on both the Wall Mount and enclosed touch panels. This section indicates the wiring procedures for configuring the two types of cables.

Use a hexagonal crimp tool (with a 0.178 opening) to crimp the BNC connector (41-1077) onto the red mini-coax cable (see FIG. 17 on page 15) located at the terminal end (no connectors) of the tabletop cable (64-5924-01).

If the distance between the panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you

must connect an optional 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector. If the panel is

connected to an AXlink cable and receiving power from a 2-pin PWR connector, power is not sent

through the AXlink cable to any connected device.

Some installations of the AXD-CV6 may require a 90° right-angle BNC adapter to accommodate a sharp bend in the video cable. Be careful not to crimp the video cable and possibly damage the BNC connector by bending the video cable too far.

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.
