when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power fails during a
firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.
Basic Operation
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 are operated using their integral touchscreens. If the device has shut
down, a touch of the touchscreen will reactivate it.
Each device’s power use allows up to 8 continuous hours of use and up to 96 hours of normal use
between rechargings of its internal battery, but its battery charge lasts up to 120 hours if the device goes
into Asleep Mode during that time. The device may be placed in its charging cradle at any time and
operated within its cradle.
The device will automatically go into Asleep Mode after fifteen minutes of inactivity, and this limit may
be changed at any time. Any wireless Internet connection intended for the MVP-5150 will be
reconnected within approximately twenty seconds after the device is placed in its charging cradle.
Depending upon preselected settings, either device may be set to go into Awake Mode as soon as it is
placed in the cradle.
Audio/Video Capabilities
The MVP-5100 has the capability of displaying multiple JPEG and PNG files at one time.
Power Management
Both the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 utilize a dual voltage external power supply. They may be
recharged through the supplied PS3.0 Power Supply (FG423-30), as well as through the MVP-TCS-52
Table Charging Station (FG5966-1X) or the MVP-WCS-52 Wall Charging Station (FG5966-1X). For
more information, see the Accessories section on page 7 for details.
Although the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 are equipped with mini-USB ports, the
devices cannot be powered through this port. The port is only used for uploading
firmware.
When not in active use, both devices conserve battery life between chargings. In the Asleep Mode, the
device’s entire system is shut down, with only wakeup systems powered to detect touch panel contact.
Pressing the touch screen overlay will return the device to its Active Mode.
For more information on the battery, see the Battery Life and Replacement section on page 149.
Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case
Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray bottle containing water or a vinegar-based cleaner when
cleaning the device, as alcohol-based cleaners can damage the device’s touch screen overlay. Do not
directly spray the device: instead, spray the cloth to clean the touch screen overlay. Do NOT use an
abrasive of any type to clean the device, as this may permanently damage or remove the device’s finish.

Installing the MVP-WCS-52
Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care
must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to any touch panel placed
within.
Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
Installing the plastic Back Box
The plastic back box has two knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to the
box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an "UP" arrow
pointing to the knockouts. The Metal Rough-In Box does not have to be installed beforehand, but it
offers an extra level of support.
To install the Plastic Back Box:
1. Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the box. The outer lip of the back box is sized
8.69 inches (220.66mm) long and 6.0 inches (152.4mm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4"
(6.4mm) smaller in each dimension (FIG. 7).

2. Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knockouts, at the top
left and the top right.
MVP-5100/5150 Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels
Accessories
To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the
mechanism of the Wall-Mounted Charging Station, the top right knockout is preferred
for use.
3. Run the power cable through the knockout into the box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of cable
into the box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WCS-52.
4. Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush
with the wall (FIG. 8). Make sure that all of the lockdown wings are folded into their slots before
attempting to insert the box. For ease of installation, the inside of the box has the direction "UP"
labeled for reference.
All lockdown wings folded flat during installation
Note Orientation Designator
FIG. 8 Installation of plastic back box
5. Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all of the
wings must be extended to lock the box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom
wings is highly recommended. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with
the wall: this ensures that the wing will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
Make absolutely certain that the box is in its intended position. Once the box
lockdown wings are extended within the box’s hole within the wall, removing the box
will be extremely difficult without damaging the wall in the process.
The maximum recommended torque to screw in the wings on the plastic back box is
105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the wing screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the wings or damage the plastic
back box.
6. Prepare the captive wires for the 2-pin 3.55 mm mini-captive wire connector used for the MVP-
WCS-52’s power supply:
Preparing and connecting the captive wires requires the use of a wire stripper and
flat-blade screwdriver.

Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector.
Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws;
doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.
7. Secure the power cable to the device, using either of the two tie-wrap anchors included in the
Installation Kit at the top rear of the device (FIG. 9). Point the head of each tie wrap toward the
center of the device.

from the Installation Kit. Take a rubber foot and remove its adhesive backing. Put the foot, adhesiveside down, in the slot surrounding the screw hole in the Wall Charging Station. Press down firmly to
remove any air bubbles from underneath the foot.
12. Install a touch panel by placing it into the interior compartment bottom-first. Press the top of the
touch panel until it is flush with the Wall Charging Station. The neodymium magnets will hold it in
place.
13. To remove the touch panel, unlock the touch panel (see the Unlocking the touch panel section on
page 10 for more information) and wait for the touch panel to pull away from the Wall Charging
Station. Once it has been released, grip it by the top of the device, and pull it free from the Charging
Station.

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box
The optional Metal Rough-In Box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension
(wider than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction
installations (FIG. 11). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Station’s
plastic back box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of
wall/mounting surface material.
Install front surface of box
flush with surface of wall stud
FIG. 11 Typical Metal Rough-In Box Installation
The Metal Rough-In Box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs
and/or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent
as to allow the box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one
screw through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it.
The interior of the box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the box to its adjoining studs or spacers.
Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will
affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the
Plastic Back Box.
The box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for
international wiring.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
After completing the installation of the Metal Rough-In Box, install sheet rock or other wall material
over the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust
before proceeding with the installation of the Plastic Back Box.

Other MVP-WCS-52 installations
The Wall-Mounted Charging Station is designed to be installed in various different locations, such as
into the face of a wooden podium or the top of a table. Depending upon the ability to wire it to a power
source, Wall-Mounted Charging Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of
such materials as wood, brick, and glass.
Installing a Wall-Mounted Charging Station into a solid wall thicker than a standard thickness of
sheetrock is possible, but requires special preparation. If installing into a solid wall of concrete or rock, a
recess must be chiselled or cut out to match the size of the device. The box is sized 8.375 inches
(21.27cm) long and 5.75 inches (14.60cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (0.64cm) smaller in
these dimensions. To facilitate the full range of movement of the device’s components, the recess must
be at least 2.69 inches (6.83cm) deep.
Ensure that the power cable has been installed in the wall and is accessible by the
installer before chiseling out the recess.
Instead of using the lockdown wings to secure the Plastic Back Box, standard
concrete screws may be inserted through the screw holes after removing the
lockdown wings. However, drill the concrete screw holes into the wall before setting
the screws into the box, as excessive torque applied to the screws will damage the
box. To avoid this, the box may be installed with adhesive. Test an unobtrusive spot
on the back of the box with a sample of the adhesive to check for any adverse
reactions before installing the device.
