Power Over Ethernet

Power for the MSD-431-L is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-certified PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AF-TC PoE Injector (FG423-83) or other approved AMX PoE power source. The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ-45 port on the MSD-431-L.

MSD-431-L Installation

The MSD-431-L may be installed as either a retrof it installation in to drywall or other similar

thickness material. (0.5" minimum), or inserted into the rough in box or rack mount kit. Once

installed, the MSD-431-L is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox (FIG. 2). The clear plastic Backbox is designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials.

The Backbox is removed from the panel prior to installing it into a wall or removed to use the optional Multi Mount accessory MSA-MMK-43 (FG2265-13).

Note: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary method for securing the Backbox to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included).

Removing the MSD-431-L Backbox

The clips on the bottom edge of the Backbox lock down the MSD-431-L and must be unlatched in order to remove the Backbox from the touch panel.

1. Hold the Backbox/panel inverted on a soft surface with the panel facing away from you.

2. Press down on the top edge of the Backbox to flex it and unhinge the touch panel.

FIG. 3 MSD-431-L BACKBOX REMOVAL

3. Rotate the top of the Backbox away from the panel and lift it away from the touch panel.

Note: For additional information on removing the Backbox on the MSD-431-L panel after wall mount installation has been completed, refer to the S-Series Touch Panels Instruction Manual.

Backbox Considerations

Note: For flat surface mounting the touch panels to glass, marble, or other smooth surfaces without drilling or cutting, refer to the MSA-MMK-43 (FG2265-13) Multi Mount Kit documentation at www.amx.com.

The Backbox has two locking tabs (one on top and one on bottom) to help lock the Backbox to the wall. Extend these locking tabs AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.

FIG. 4 MSD-431-L

• When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position (arrow up) and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the Backbox may be difficult without having access to the back o f the wall or causing damage to the wall.

• In order to ensure a stable installation of the MSD-431-L, 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 smoo th and flat.

Installing the Backbox

Use the included Installation Template (68-2265-02) to ensure proper placement.

Warning: Using the Installation Template to select the final placement of the Backbox is highly recommended. The outside edges of the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential obstacles.

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

2. After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the Backbox, using the (included) Installation Template as a guide.

CAUTION: Making sure the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the provided dimensions is highly recommended. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

3. Thread the incoming Ethernet and Micro-USB wiring (if Micro-USB access is desired) from their terminal locations through the surface opening (FIG. 5).

Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

4. Remove the Backbox knockouts (FIG. 4) and thread the incoming wiring through the knockout holes.

5. Thread the incoming Ethernet and Micro-USB wiring (if USB or Micro-USB access is desired) from the surface opening and through the knockouts.

Note: The Micro-USB port cannot be used while the touch panel installed in th e Back box . The MSD-431 must be removed from the wall and the Backbox in order to access the Micro-USB port.

6. Push the Backbox into the mounting surface ensuring that the locking tabs lie flush against the Backbox and that the Backbox goes freely into the opening.

7. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the box until snug.

CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.

• 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 Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if necessary.

• For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through circular holes located at the left and right flanges of the MSD-431-L (FIG. 5). In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the Backbox.

Installing the Touch Panel

1. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the device (FIG. 6).

FIG. 6 REAR OF THE MSD-431-L IN A BACKBOX

2. Attach the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power to test wiring.

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.

• Verify that the panel is receiving power and is functioning properly.

• Remove power before continuing with the installation.

3. Latch the panel onto the top hoo ks on the Backbox and push it down onto the bo ttom snaps. Press gently but firmly on the ends until the snaps “click” to lock it down.

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.

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