NXA-BASE/1 Battery Base Kit for 7" & 10" Modero®Table Top Touch Panels
Overview
The NXA-BASE/1 Battery Base Kit (FG2255-05K) provides both power and
battery information to the panel through the panel’s interface connector. The
battery base allows the 7” and 10” Modero Table Top Touch Panels to run off the
charge from a single internally connected NXT-BP Battery Pack.
Can be charged through either the base (only when connected to the panel) or
through an optional NXT-CHG Quick Charger Kit. When used with the battery
base, the panel will charge the battery during full operation.
Features
• Charge current 2.4A @ 12 VDC
• Charge time for one depleted battery ~ five to eight hours
• The Modero unit plus battery base requires a PSN4.4 power supply
ATTENTION!
Verify that the Modero panel is using the latest firmware. Verify that the battery
base is loaded with the latest NXA-BASE/1 firmware.

Checking the NXT-BP Charge
Note: It is recommended to fully charge this battery before using it to power an
NXT-CV7 panel.
1. Press the Battery Life Indicator button (FIG. 1) once to illuminate the
Battery Life LEDs and display the percent charge remaining on the battery
(this indication lasts a few seconds).
2. Charge the NXT-BP battery by either inserting it into the battery base or
from within the optional NXT-CHG charger (which can sequentially charge
up to two batteries).
ATTENTION!
If the 25% LED indicator is blinking, recharge your battery immediately. This
blinking indicates there is less than 5% of a charge remaining on the battery.
Installation of an NXT-BP into the NXA-BASE/1
The base does not directly connect to a power supply. Instead, it receives the
power necessary to charge the battery from the Modero panel (through the
Panel Interface connector).
1. Install the NXT-BP battery into the battery compartment, label-side up.
2. Align the battery connector with its corresponding battery connector port
(located in the battery compartment shown in FIG. 2).
3. Carefully insert the NXT-BP into the base until the battery securely fits onto
the Battery Connector Port.

Attaching the Modero Panel to the NXT-BASE/1
ATTENTION!
The battery base CANNOT be hot-swapped. An NXT can not be receiving
power (through a connected power supply) and then be connected to a battery
base. Always POWER OFF the panel before installing the NXA-BASE/1.
1. Power Off the panel before attempting to attach the NXA-BASE/1.
2. Place the battery base (with battery) onto a flat/level surface.
3. Turn the battery locking slider (see FIG. 1) to one side until the locking
mechanism is horizontal to the base (going left to right) and the rear battery
latch is pointing directly outward (away from the LCD).
4. Carefully angle the panel over the front alignment pegs (FIG. 3). The pegs
assist in both aligning and securing the panel to the base (the locking
mechanism secures the base to panel when done).
5. Insert the alignment pegs into their corresponding holes below the front of
the panel.
6. Verify the alignment of the Panel Interface connectors between the panel
(female connector) and base (male connector) (FIG. 3).
7. Align the rear pegs and gently push the rear of the panel downwards until it
is mounted atop the battery base.
8. Slide the rear battery locking slider in the opposite direction. This turns the
latching mechanism and secures the panel to the base.
9. Upon successful connection, the AMX logo appears on the panel to indi-
cate that the panel is properly connected and receiving power.
Charging the NXT-BP using the NXA-BASE/1
1. Insert the battery into the battery compartment (FIG. 2).
2. Follow the procedures from the previous sub-section to attach the panel to
the NXA-BASE/1.
3. Insert a 2-pin connector from a power supply to the rear PWR connector
on the panel.
Attaching the Rubber Feet to the NXA-BASE/1
The NXA-BASE/1 comes with four rubber feet that can be attached to the
bottom of the unit. Also provided with the NXA-BASE/1 is a Rubber Foot
Placement Template.
Use the Placement Template to position the Rubber Feet on the bottom panel.
Note: Prep the surface area with alcohol prior to installing feet.
