For more detailed installation, configuration, file transfer, and operating
instructions refer to the MVP-7500 and MVP-8400 Modero ViewPoint Touch
Panels Instruction Manual, available on-line at www.amx.com.
ATTENTION!
Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master Firmware (available from
www.amx.com) on your ME260/64 and NI-Series Controllers.
Verify you are using the latest MVP-TDS firmware to accurately communicate
with the connected MVP panel.
ATTENTION!
Prior to installing an MVP panel on the MVP-TDS, remove any attached MVP-KS
from the rear of the MVP panel.
Overview
The MVP-TDS Table Top Docking Station (FG5965-10) extends the functionality
of the wireless MVP panel (when resting on a flat surface). The MVP-TDS is
compatible with both MVP touch panel models (MVP-7500 and MVP-8400).
• Place the MVP panel onto the MVP-TDS to recharge its batteries and
maintain continuous control of your integrated technology.
• The adjustable station creates just the right viewing angle for any
situation.
• Attach a keyboard or mouse using the docking station's rear USB ports.
This connection facilitates surfing the Web by using the G4 Computer
Control application.
The MVP-TDS utilizes an innovative locking mechanism. The electromagnet
"holds" the panel to the MVP Support Cradle and allows the mounted MVP to
achieve optimum viewing angles via tilting. The Security Release pushbutton
turns-off the electromagnet for easy removal of the MVP panel.
An optional accessory for the MVP-TDS is an MVP-BP Battery Pack that can be
recharged from either of the two rear compartments on the Docking Station or
from within the MVP panel.

Connections and Wiring
The PS4.4 can be used to indirectly supply power to the MVP by routing
incoming power through the connector pins and charge any batteries inserted
within the MVP-TDS’ rear charging compartments (FIG. 3).
• Once the MVP is connected to this MVP Docking Station,
charging is first applied to any MVP-BP batteries found within the panels’
rear battery compartment and then to any batteries inserted within the
MVP-TDS’s battery compartments.
Powering the MVP-TDS
The MVP-TDS uses a PS4.4 power supply (not included) to provide direct
power for the MVP panel, while charging internal batteries.
Note: Once MVP batteries are fully charged, the MVP-TDS begins charging
MVP-BP batteries inserted within its rear battery compartments.
1. Connect the terminal end of the PS4.4 power supply to the rear PWR
connector on the TDS.
2. Provide power to the MVP-TDS by connecting the PS4.4 cord to an exter-
nal power source.
Note: Initially, both blue LEDs (FIG. 4) illuminate and remain dim (indicating
that the power is being supplied to the MVP-TDS).
Reading MVP-TDS LED Indicators
FIG. 4 shows the front LED locations on the MVP-TDS Table Top Docking
Station.
The two LED indicators (beneath the front security release pushbutton) (FIG. 4)
indicate both the battery and communication status as follows:
Mounting an MVP to the MVP-TDS
1. Place the MVP-TDS Table Top Docking Station on a flat and level
surface.
2. Provide power to the MVP-TDS (refer to the previous Powering the MVP-
TDS section for more details).
3. Carefully grasp both sides of the MVP panel and use the MVP-TDS align-
ment guide pins to position the MVP panel atop the MVP
Support Cradle (with a downward motion) (FIG. 5).
4. Verify that the alignment guide pins (male) are correctly inserted into the
MVP alignment guide insertion holes (located just below the AMX logo
and along the lower edge of the MVP). Without proper
connection, the MVP will not be able to communicate with or receive
power from the MVP-TDS.
5. Once a proper alignment is verified, gently angle back the MVP on the
cradle until the rear of the panel makes contact with the
electromagnet. Allow one second to activate the electromagnet.
Note: If the MVP is docked properly and communicating, the right LED will
remain brightly illuminated on the MVP-TDS. Refer to the LED Pattern Indicator
table for more information. If the MVP is not properly docked, the right LED will
remain Off or Dim.
CAUTION: Be very careful when testing the proper connection of the MVP to
the MVP-TDS. If the panel is not securely attached, the electromagnet will not
be activated, and the panel could fall off and become damaged.
Removing the MVP panel from an unsecured MVP-TDS
1. Press and hold the front panel security release pushbutton (FIG. 4). Allow
one second for the electromagnet to turn-off.
2. Grasp the MVP panel from both sides and gently angle it forward.
3. Carefully lift the panel from the MVP-TDS cradle in an upward
direction to remove the guide pins from the insertion holes.
Removing the MVP panel from a secured MVP-TDS
1. Press and hold the front panel security release pushbutton (FIG. 4) until
an on-screen security keypad appears within the MVP LCD.
2. Enter the security release password into the on-screen keypad.
This password has been previously entered by the installer or
administrator through the Passwords page.
3. Press Done when finished and allow the TDS one second to process the
release request.
Note: Once the release command has been processed and accepted, the
MVP-TDS turns-off the electromagnet.
4. Grasp the MVP panel from both sides and gently angle it forward.
5. Carefully remove the panel from the MVP-TDS cradle in an upward direc-
tion to remove the guide pins from the insertion holes.
