Introduction

NXD-500i 5" Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom

Installation

While the NXD-500i is designed to fit into pre-existing NXD-CV5 touch panel sites, the actual installation differs from that of the NXD-CV5 is several significant ways. The NXD-500i can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP5i Rough-In Box or another solid surface environment, using either solid surface screws or the included locking tabs for different mounting options. For more information, please refer to the NXD-500i User Manual, available at www.amx.com.

The NXD-500i is contained within a clear outer housing known as the back box (FIG. 4). This back box is removed when installing the device into a wall or into a Rough-In Box. Because of the backbox, the device may be installed into either a pre-wall surface using a CB-TP5i conduit/wallbox, or into a solid surface using the included locking tabs or either solid surface or drywall screws.

Installation of an NXD-500i Touch Panel

The NXD-500i can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP5i Rough-In Box or other solid surface environment, using solid surface screws or the included locking tabs as mounting options. The following sections describe mounting the touch panel directly into a pre-wall rough-in box, a solid surface, drywall, or an NXA-RK5 Rack Mount Kit.

Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box

The CB-TP5i Rough-In Box (FG038-11) is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a stud/beam in a pre-wall setting, where no walls are present. Installation procedures and configurations can vary, depending on the installation environment. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenarios.

In order to guarantee a stable installation of the NXD-500i, the distance between the CB-TP5i and the outer wall surface must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm).

Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings, to allow any necessary cutout adjustments, is highly recommended.

1. Attach the optional Back Cover for the CB-TP5i (FG038-12) if necessary.

2. Fasten the CB-TP5i Rough-In Box to the stud through the holes on the Stud Mounting tabs (FIG. 5),

using either nails or screws.

5. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD-500i device into the CB-TP5i.

Installing the NXD-500i panel within a Rough-In Box

The Rough-In Box must be mounted prior to continuing this section. Refer to the procedures in the Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box section on page 9 for detailed pre-wall installation instructions. Verify that all necessary cables have been threaded through the knockouts on the left of the

Rough-In Box and the connections have been tested prior to installation of the NXD-500i.

1. Remove the Faceplate bezel (A in FIG. 6) from the main NXD-500i unit (B in FIG. 6) by gripping

the faceplate from the top and lifting up and then pulling with gentle outward force.

Be sure to pull the faceplate UP before pulling it out and away from the rest of the device. Pulling straight outward may lead to damage to the faceplate, including breaking off the tabs that attach the faceplate to the device.

2. Gently unscrew the two screws attaching the NXD-500i to its back box. These are at the bottom of

the device, underneath the touch screen. Carefully remove the NXD-500i from the back box.

While the screws are loosened, you can adjust the LCD to ensure it is parallel to the sides of the backbox, if necessary. While adjusting the LCD is possible, it is not required in most cases.

3. Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring from their terminal locations through the surface

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

4. Push the back box into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the back box.

5. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the back box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all

of the tabs must be extended to lock the back box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom tabs is highly recommended. 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 back box is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall. This also allows visual confirmation if the entire assembly has to be removed from the wall for any reason.

The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the back box is 105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the locking tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the tabs or damage the back box.

6. Connect both connectors to their corresponding locations along the left side of the NXD-500i touch

panel.

7. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying

power via the PoE Injector. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.Test the incoming wiring by connecting the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power via the PoE Injector.

The following section outlines and describes both the included accessories and other AMX equipment available for the NXD-500i.

PS-POE-AF PoE Injector

The PS-POE-AF PoE Injector (FG423-80) is a single-port, self-contained Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power supply that delivers both DC power and data to PoE-equipped devices by “injecting” DC power through a Cat5 Ethernet cable (FIG. 14). The PoE Injector allows devices such as the NXD-500i to function without an additional power connection other than an Ethernet connection.

FIG. 14 PS-POE-AF Power-Over-Ethernet Power Supply

Power-over-Ethernet eliminates the need for an AC outlet at each device installation point, resulting in easier and less expensive installation. It also can be used to extend the distance between the PoE devices and standard power outlets by up to 328 feet (100 meters).

Each PoE Injector may be used for one device’s power needs. Multiple devices in a network that require PoE will require multiple Injectors.

NetLinx Master’s connection information

The two possible Master Connection Types available are USB or Ethernet. A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC, which is acting as a Virtual Master. An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into a panel that is already active before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver.

NXD-500i 5" Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom

Configuring Communication

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master

NetLinx Studio can be set up to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.

For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication

If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website

and locate the File Transfer 2 executable (FT2Setup.exe). This will install the native RNDIS USB driver when executed.

2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.

3. Launch the Setup.exe file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC, it is detected as a new hardware device and the panel-specific USBLAN driver becomes associated with it. Each time thereafter, the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the panel is detected for the first time, some user intervention is required during the association between panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the

large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart the PC.

If the panel is already powered, continue with step 3. The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2. Connect the terminal end of the Ethernet cable to the connector on the side of the touch panel and

then apply power.

3. After the NXD-500i panel powers up, press and hold the Front Setup Access button for 4 seconds

to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

4. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings

page (FIG. 19).

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the panel as to which Master it should be communicating. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, where the IP Address, System Number and Username/ Password information assigned to the target Master is configured. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red, indicating that it has no current connection to a Master.

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings

This panel has only one method of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wired (direct Ethernet connection, as wireless communication is not available on the NXD-500i). The connection parameters may only be configured through the System Connection page. This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System Administrator).

IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet

Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings

page.

2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.

Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields appear on the two separate System Connection and Secondary Connection pages;

Step 2: Choose a Master Connection Mode Setting

The Master Connection section of the System Connection page uses three Ethernet MODE settings. URL is the most common method.

 Master Connection MODE options:

• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).

• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".

• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled. This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the installation manual for the particular NetLinx Master for more detailed information.

Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type

When using Ethernet as the selected communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be set up with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.

Before beginning:

1. Verify that the panel has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable connected from

the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub.

Other Settings

Holding down the Other Settings button provides a menu to select the Image Caching page, the Password Settings page, or the Sensor Settings page. Select either option to access that page.

Cache Settings Page

The Cache Settings page (FIG. 49) configures the allocation of memory for image caching. The G4 graphics engine caches images to decrease load time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is always enabled, and both static and dynamic images are stored in the RAM cache as they are viewed. The size of RAM cache is automatically configured to take into account available memory versus memory that may be needed by the panel later. As the RAM cache approaches its maximum size, the oldest items in the cache may be discarded to make room for newer items. If Flash caching is enabled, dynamic images that would have been discarded will actually be moved to Flash, since retrieving images on Flash is typically faster than across a network, although it is slower than using a RAM cache. Note that since static images are already stored on Flash, they are never moved to the Flash cache, so Flash caching applies only to dynamic images. Images in Flash cache are moved back to RAM cache the next time they are viewed. As the Flash cache approaches its maximum size, the least recently used items may be discarded to make room for new items.

Sensor Setup

The Sensor Setup page (FIG. 51) allows adjustment of the Light and Motion Sensor parameters on a Modero touch panel.

FIG. 51 Sensor Setup page

The elements of the Sensor Setup page are described in the table below:

Sensor Setup Page Elements

Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page.

Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current

visual update of the panel’s connection status regardless of the page that is currently active.

• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection with a currently secured target Master requiring a username and password.

Light: The Light bargraph displays a vertical bargraph indicating the light level

detected by the on-board photo-sensor.

Light Sensor: Allows the user to review the Modero panel light sensor port and channel

settings:

• The Sensor Level field indicates the level used to report the light sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).

• The Sensor Level Port field indicates the port used to report the light sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).

• The Sensor Channel field indicates the level used to report the sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4). It is On when below the Light Sensor threshold level (read-only).

• The Sensor Channel Port field indicates the port used to report the sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).

Motion Sensor: Provides the following fields:

• The Motion Detection field displays a reactive button that changes color (illuminates) when motion is detected by the Modero panel’s front motion sensor.

• The Motion Sensor Port field indicates the port used to report the motion sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).

the motion detected by the on-board motion detector.

Making the most of the Light bargraph

By setting a certain minimum or maximum amount of light to be received by the device, the Light bargraph may be used to trigger particular commands in NetLinx. The red line on the Light Sensor bargraph is the threshold level. It is used to determine the level of light at which to activate the Light Sensor Channel. The channel is activated when the light level is below the threshold and deactivated when above the threshold. For more information, refer to the Programming section on page 77.

Making the most of the Motion Sensor feature

The motion sensor works by detecting the heat of objects passing by the front of the touch panel. Because of this, the sensor works best when detecting lateral movement, such as when a person walks in front of the touch panel from left to right. This appears in the Motion Sensor bar based on the signal strength: a hand waved directly in front of the motion sensor is going to produce a stronger signal than a person walking by at the outer range of the sensor. The sensitivity may be modified by environmental conditions, such as increased body heat or outside heat sources such as sunbeams or heater vents. To set the Motion Sensor to best effect:

1. Ascertain the intended sensitivity of the Motion Sensor. For instance, check to see if commands are

to be initiated by someone walking past the touch panel, if someone enters the room at the edge of the touch panel’s range, or if someone specifically reaches for the panel’s face.

2. Open the Sensor Setup page (FIG. 51) from the Protected Setup menu section.

3. Watch the movement of the Motion Sensor bar while holding perfectly still. This allows tracking of

other factors that might affect the Motion Sensor, such as air conditioner vents or moving curtains.

4. Copy the movement intended to set off the Sensor while watching the Motion Sensor bar, such as

walking past the device. In particular, watch for the spikes in the bar where the sensor picked up the most movement.

5. Set the Motion Sensor bar to the desired sensitivity, making sure that it is located below the spikes

previously noted. If the bar is set above the level of the spikes, the Motion Sensor may never be set off by that level of motion.

6. Repeat the movement and check to see if the movement exceeds the bar setting. Adjust the bar as

necessary to set the desired sensitivity.

Telnet Commands

These Telnet Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive.

Telnet Commands

set motion beep

Enables/disables button beep sound.

show sensors

Displays realtime data from motion and light sensors.

cal light

Initiates light sensor calibration routine.

This will enable/disable the button beep sound when the motion sensor detects a motion level that rises above the threshold set by the user. It is intended to be used as an aid during motion testing.

This command is similar to the batt mon command in operation, except that it displays realtime data related to the Motion and Light sensors. Sensor data is displayed as scrolling text at the rate of 200 ms (default). The loop interval is optional and is in units of "100 milliseconds", e.g., interval = 2 results in a loop interval of 200 ms (5 hz). See table below for an example of the output. The following is a description of data items that are displayed:

Motion - level: The level of motion detected by the sensor. Motion - threshold: The threshold set by the user for activating the Channel. Light - lux: The amount of lux observed by the light sensor. Light - avg: The average logarithmic value of lux (avg log(lux)). Light - BL lvl: The current backlight level (brightness). Light - BL abs: The backlight level determined by the auto-brightness feature (absolute).

This value is a measure of the light sensor calibration. At full brightness (when "BL lvl" =

100), this value should also equal 100. Light - threshold: The light threshold set by the user. When "BL lvl" falls below the

threshold the channel is activated with a "push" or "on". Above threshold is "release" or "off".

This command will initiate a light sensor calibration routine. This routine takes 30 seconds to complete. There is currently no indication that the command is complete. During this routine, the firmware will record the maximum light value detected and use this value as the normal light level in which the panel will be operating. This will enable the panel's "auto-brightness" feature to operate correctly.

Be sure to move away from the front of the panel during the light calibration to allow the light sensor to "see" maximum brightness. Also, the panel should be positioned (installed) and operating in the expected light conditions that the panel will be expected to be used.

"^" Button Commands

These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive.

All commands that begin with "^" have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and button state range. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port : System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).

 Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single

command.

 Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single

command.

 "." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And'

notation.
