MXT-1001 - rear view
Power via 13.5V
The MXT-2001-PAN and MXT-1901-PAN use a 13.5V -compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin 3.5mm
captive wire PWR connector. The incoming PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding
locations within the PWR connector.
NOTE: Connecting power to the panel should be done using the included 2-pin 3.5mm captive wire connector included with the
device. This connector is retained within its port with locking screws instead of the pins on each side of standard captive wire
connectors, and using force to insert a standard captive wire connector may damage the device.
Wiring a 13.5V Power Connection
To use the 2-pin 3.5mm captive wire connector with a 13.5V -compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from
the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 18). The connector uses locking
screws to insure a connection to the device, so make sure to insert and tighten the screws before applying power.
FIG. 18 NetLinx power connector wiring diagram
1.Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end o f the 2-pin 3.5mm captive wire cable.
Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.
2.Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.
Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
3.Verify the connection o f the 2-pin 3.5mm captive wire to the external 13.5V -compliant power supply and apply power.
Power via PoE
Power for the MXT-1001 and MXT-701 is supplied via PoE (Power Over Ethernet), utilizing an AMX-certified, capacitive touchcompliant PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AT High Power PoE Injector (FG423-81) or other approved AMX PoE power source.
The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ45 port on the cable attached to the device.
In tabletop installations where concealing the Ethernet cable is desired, a hole at least 1.00” (2.54 cm) in diameter is required in
the surface to allow passage of the female RJ45 connector (FIG. 19). If using a smaller hole is unavoidable, you will need to
disconnect the Ethernet cable (ECA5968-05) from the device, to feed the male end of the cable through.
FIG. 19
NOTE: The minimum diameter hole through which the Ethernet cable may pass is 0.50" (1.27 cm).
To disconnect and reconnect the Ethernet cable on the MXT-701 and MXT-1001to allow use of a hole smaller than 1.00” in
diamete r:
1.On a soft surface, turn the MXT-1001 face-down to access the bottom of the device.
2.Remove the clamp holding the Ethernet cable (FIG. 19).

Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling methodologies. These include products installed in walls,
racks, cabinets, etc. Those areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration
to maintain the product within the specified operating temperature.
FIG. 20 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed
volume (such as between studs in an otherwise finished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other
devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device operation.
Installing Wall-Mount (MXD) Panels
FIG. 20
In F IG. 21, the diagram displays an AMX device in a typ ical rack mounting, with full air circulation around the front and back of the

FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 provide installation dimensions for the MXD-1901-PAN:
Since the cutout for the Backbox is off-center from the edges of the touch panel, use the included Installation Template to ensure
proper placement.
NOTE: 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 cutou t process.
2.After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the Backbox, using the included Installation Template as a
guide.
NOTE: Making sure that the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the provided dimensions is highly recommended. This
action provides the installer with a margin for error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is
always better than too much.
3.Thread the incoming power and Ethernet wiring from their terminal locations through the surface opening (FIG. 30).
Note that FIG. 30 shows the MXD-1901-PAN, but the illustration applies equally to the MXD-2001-PAN. Also note that FIG. 30

freely into the opening.
6.Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the box until snug.
NOTE: 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 plastic Backbox.
Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the Backbox 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 Backbox is clear to allow visual conf irmation 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 (no t included ) may be secured through circular holes located at the left and
right sides of the MXD-2001-PAN (see FIG. 30). In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are
flush with the Backbox.

Modero X Series G5 touch panel.
Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches
Symptom: The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as being in the correct
area of the screen.
If the screen is off:
The device may be in Display Sleep Mode. Press and hold the Sleep button to wake up the panel.
The device may not be connected to power. Verify that the power source is connected to the device and receiving power.
Panel Isn’t Appearing In The Online Tree Tab
1.Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Studio Project Navigator window and the System Settings page
on the device.
2.Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page.
Can’t Connect To a NetLinx Master
Symptom: I can’t seem to connect to a NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio.
Select Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP), and uncheck the "Automatically Ping
the Master Controller to ensure availability".
The pinging is to determine if the Master is available and to reply with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the
ping feature, a connection may still be attempted, but a failure will take longer to be recognized.
NOTE: If you are trying to connect to a Master controller that is behind a firewall, you may have to uncheck this option. Most f irewalls
will not allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons.
When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a
connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered
was incorrect.
If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will try
for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.
Only One Modero Panel In My System Shows Up
Symptom: I have more than one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up.
Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices can be associated for use with a single Master. If the user does not assign a device number,
one will be assigned automatically to the panel. When using multiple panels, different Device Number values have to be assigned to
each panel.
1.Press and hold the Sleep button to open the Settings menu.
2.Select the NetLinx menu, enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field, and press Done when finished.
3.Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number Keypad. The range is from 1 - 32000.
