AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer
This Limited Warranty and Disclaimer extends only to products purchased directly from AMX or an AMX Authorized Partner which
include AMX Dealers, Distributors, VIP’s or other AMX authorized entity.
AMX warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of
purchase, with the following exceptions:
• Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay compo-
nents are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
• Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
• AMX lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting products, as long
as the AMX lighting products are under warranty. AMX also guarantees the control of dimmable loads that are properly con-
nected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or quality there of is not guaranteed, impart due to the random combi-
nations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.
• AMX software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.
• Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.
• AMX AutoPatch Epica, Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro Series and 8Y-3000 product models will be free of defects in
materials and manufacture at the time of sale and will remain in good working order for a period of three (3) years following the
date of the original sales invoice from AMX. The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited
Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it
within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The
life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty
applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty
will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.
All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX
RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After
the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will
be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number.
AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost
savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Autho-
rized Partner for a third party.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or
improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earth-
quake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including
negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by
any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the
possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of inci-
dental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not
apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX
EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT
MAY BE IMPOSED BY LAW ARE LIMITED TO THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE LIMITED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, AMX RESERVES THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR DISCONTINUE DESIGNS, SPECIFICATIONS, WARRAN-
TIES, PRICES, AND POLICIES WITHOUT NOTICE.

Modero G5 Touch Panels - Configuration and Programming
Modero X Series ®G5 Programming
Overview
The Modero X Series® G5 line of touch panels is the next generation in touch panel design, control and functionality.
Each Modero X Series G5 touch panel shares basic programming functionality with the other G5 products, whether a
tabletop, portrait, or landscape panel. In order to assist programmers and developers with designing the perfect project,
each Modero X Series G5 touch panel shares the following features:
A common arrangement of Settings pages (page 3) that allow easy configuration of new panels into a new or
existing network.
Mutual NetLinx programming commands for the panel gestures supported by the Modero X Series G5
product line
Mutual NetLinx programming commands for other touch panel functions (page 57).
Ability to support applications (apps), such as a web browser or Skype, to enhance the functionality of the
control surface
For more information on designing touch panel pages intended to optimize the Modero X Series G5 experience, please
refer to the TPDesign5 Operation Reference Guide and the G5 Considerations Guide, both available at www.amx.com.
The Modero X-Series G5 touch panels covered in this document are listed below:
Transitioning from G4 to G5
The G5 platform is a new operating system for Modero X Series touch panels, and existing TPDesign4 files are not
compatible with G5 touch panels. A new software tool, TPDesign5, is required to design touch panel files for G5
systems, and is available for download at www.amx.com.
TPDesign5 is similar in look and feel to TPDesign4 and can be installed concurrently with TPDesign4 to enable the
developer to design for both G4 and G5 systems at the same time. TPDesign5 also contains a utility called G4Utility, that
converts existing TPD4 files to TPD5-formatted files.
While G4Utility converts the bulk of a TPD4 file to a format usable in TPD5, given the enormous variations of TPD4
files currently in the field, some tweaking of the converted TPD5 file may still be necessary afterwards.

For information on Configuring and Programming X Series G4 touch panels, refer to
the Modero G4 Configuration and Programming Guide (available at www.amx.com)
For more information on transitioning from the G4 platform to G5, please refer to the
AMX G5 Considerations white paper, available at www.amx.com.

Using the "Pipe" ( | ) Character
Previously, in G4, the pipe character ( |) was used to create a new line.
G5 uses carriage return / line feed ($0d,$0a) instead.
The examples below illustrate indicating a new line (between the words "Hello" and "World") in G4 and in G5
programming:
G4 : "'^TXT-200,0,Hello|World'"
G5 : "'^TXT-200,0,Hello',$0d,$0a,'World'"

Using the Settings Menu
When opened, the Settings menu appears in the center of the panel display. Please note that many of the pages in the
menu may be longer than they initially appear. To reach additional functions on a given page, the page itself may be
scrolled up and down to reveal those functions.
Many of the entries in the Settings menu are read-only, or may be modified if information on the same or another page is
changed. The current information on a page appears in white under the main category title; press the text to open the
category’s page (FIG. 3).
If the text is grey, then the option associated with that category is currently disabled. This may be altered with changes in
connectivity (connecting a USB stick to the touch panel, for instance) or changes to other pages within the menu.
For more information on disabling Settings menu access through the Sleep/Settings
button, please refer to the Security section on page 38.
The Settings menu uses scrolling lists. Not all items on a Settings page are visible on
screen at one time, and scrolling up and down to see them may be necessary. In the
case of long Settings pages, a scroll bar appears momentarily when a new menu
appears, and allows you to gauge current position and length of the menu.
