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 
AMXcertied 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.

Mounting holes (X4) for use with mounting screws 
(not included)
Use these mounting holes to install the Backbox 
into thin walls (less than 0.5” thick) or solid 
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 
conicts 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 conrmation 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):

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.

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

mode for the device to run – either Modero G5 or Acendo Book
Once the operating mode is congured, 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.

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.
