Overview

The MD-702 (FG5969-55BL) 7” Modero G5 Wall Mount Touch Panel features
the G5 Graphics Engine, Quad Core Processor, and a capacitive multi-touch
display. This panel now supports two operational modes: as a customizable

MD-702 Installation

The MD-702 can be installed via several mounting options: Use the included
clear plastic Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. Other
optional AMX mounting solutions include the MSA-MMK2-07 Multi Mount Kit, the
MSA-AMK2-07 Any Mount Kit, CB-MXSA-07 Rough-In Box and the MSA-RMK-07
Rack Mount Kit. Refer to the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit

for instructions.

Power Over Ethernet

Power for the MD-702 is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an

AMXcertied PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (FG423-83).
Connect the incoming Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port on the MD-702.

Plastic Backbox

The MD-702 comes with a clear plastic Backbox (FIG. 2). This Backbox can be
used to mount the touch panel into most standard wall materials. The Backbox

can also used to mount the panel into other mounting options.

Use these mounting holes to install the Backbox

surfaces

FIG. 2 7” BACKBOX (FRONT VIEW)

STEP 1: Install the Plastic Backbox

Use the included Installation Template to determine the placement of the
Backbox in the mounting surface. The outside edges of the template are the

same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible

conicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential obstacles.

1. After ensuring proper placement, cut an opening in the mounting surface
for the Backbox, using the included Installation Template as a guide
Note: Consider making the actual cutout opening slightly smaller than the

provided dimensions. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to be

expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

2. Thread the incoming cables (Ethernet and Micro-USB) from their terminal
locations through the surface opening, leaving enough slack in the wiring to
accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

3. Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread incoming cables through
the knockouts.

4. Gently push the Backbox into the mounting surface.

• This Backbox uses two Locking Tabs to secure the Backbox to the wall.

For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, the locking tabs are the
primary method for securing the Backbox to the wall.

• To ensure a stable installation, the thickness of the wall material must be a

minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm).
The mounting surface should also be smooth and at. For thin walls or
solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included) - see FIG. 2.

5. Extend the Locking Tabs by tightening the Locking Tab screws until snug (FIG. 3):

extend both of the Locking Tabs

(max torque = 5 IN-LB)

FIG. 3 7” BACKBOX - LOCKING TAB AND LOCKING TAB SCREW (X2)

CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking
tabs on the plastic Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Excessive torque on the
tab screws can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.

• Extend the Locking Tabs only AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.

• When installing the Backbox, make sure that it is positioned correctly.

• The Backbox is clear to allow visual conrmation that the tabs have been

extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal
if necessary.

STEP 2: Insert Connectors on the Touch Panel

1. Before installing the touch panel into the Backbox, connect the Ethernet
and USB cables to the rear of the panel.

2. Remove power at the terminal end before continuing with the installation.
Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must

be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the
mounting surface.

STEP 3: Secure the Touch Panel To the Backbox

The Backbox uses notches on the front edges (top and bottom) to secure the
panel into place. Follow the steps below to install the panel into the Backbox,

starting the upper edge of the touch panel:

UPPER TABS FIRST

1. Center the top edge of the touch panel against the upper outside edge of the
Backbox and latch the top of the panel onto the Backbox top-hooks (FIG. 4):

Use the top-hooks on the top edge of the Backbox to
latch the top of the touch panel into place

2. Gently press the top edge of the touch panel into place to engage the

panel’s notches and the top-hooks on the Backbox.

LOWER TABS- Gently Press Into Place

1. Swing the bottom edge of the touch panel into position until it rests against
the lower outside edge of the Backbox.

Note: If a gap is observed between the panel and the Backbox, or binding is
felt while locking down the panel, stop and verify there are no cables in the
way. Do not force the panel into position, or the touch screen or the panel
electronics may be damaged.

2. Gently press the bottom edge of the panel gently but rmly and ONLY IN
THE PLACES INDICATED BELOW until the tabs click into place to secure the
panel (FIG. 5):

Gently press the bottom edge of the touch panel in these places
(simultaneously to snap the bottom edge of the panel into place
and secure the panel in the Backbox) SEE NOTES BELOW

FIG. 5 SNAPPING THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE PANEL INTO THE BACKBOX

3. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.

Removing the MD-702 from the Backbox

The tabs on the bottom edge of the Backbox lock down the MD-702 and must
be unlatched in order to remove the touch panel from the Backbox. To do this,
you’ll need a small athead screwdriver.

1. With a small athead screwdriver, carefully press straight into the access

holes on the bottom of the bezel (near the center of the bottom tabs) to
disconnect the two bottom clips (FIG. 6):

2. Grasp the bottom of the panel and pull gently outward until the side of the

panel is free of the snap. Use your other hand to stabilize the front of the
touch panel (FIG. 7):

Lift the bottom edge of the panel by the plastic bezel

and gently rotate up and away from the base

Note: To avoid damaging the panel,
always pull on the plastic bezel - do
not pull on the glass.

FIG. 7 MD-702/BACKBOX ASSEMBLY (RELEASING THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE PANEL)

Note: Always pull on the frame of the touch panel. NEVER pull on the glass edge.

3. With the edge of the touch panel free, carefully lift up and out to remove
the touch panel from the Backbox. Be careful not to pull on the cables or

connectors.

Note: Hold the panel to
prevent it from falling once
the bottom edge is free

Powering On/Off Modero G5 Panels

Modero G5 touch panels may be powered on by touching and holding the

Sleep button. To power off the panel, press and hold the Sleep button, and

select Power Off on the on-screen menu (FIG. 8):

FIG. 8 SLEEP BUTTON - PRESS AND HOLD TO ACCESS POWER OFF/SETTINGS OPTIONS

Selecting Modero Or Acendo

MD-702/MD-1002 panels will be congured in the eld to operate as either a

Modero G5 panel or as an Acendo Book scheduling panel.

Upon rst boot, a wizard application allows the user to select the operating

mode for the device to run – either Modero G5 or Acendo Book

Once the operating mode is congured, that operating mode will be set from then on.

In order to change operating mode after one was selected, a Factory Data
Reset will reset the operating mode back to a point to which the user can select

the operating mode using the wizard application.

Select Operational Mode

Select either Modero G5 or Acendo

Book mode (will prompt panel reboot).
This option is presented for brand new
units or a unit that is reset to factory
settings. (FIG. 9)

When Modero G5 is selected (in Fig

9), this is the default screen until a UI is
loaded via USB or TPDesign5.
