MVP-5100/5150 Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels
Introduction
The MVP-5100 Modero® Viewpoint® IR Touch Panel (FG5966-08) and the MVP-5150 Modero®
Viewpoint® WiFi Touch Panel (FG5966-07) are wireless ergonomic devices, with all control established
through a NetLinx Master or through an IR receiver. Both utilize a 5.2" Color Active LCD to display a
800 x 480 pixel image with 262,144 colors. The MVP-5150 uses both a pre-installed 802.11g WPA/
WPA2 SDIO wireless card and standard IR communication, and the MVP-5100 uses only IR for
communication.

used for headphones, speakers, receiving power, or any other function.

Introduction
6MVP-5100/5150 Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels
Basic Operation
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 are operated using their integral touchscreens. If the device has shut
down, a touch of the touchscreen will reactivate it.
Each device’s power use allows up to 8 continuous hours of use and up to 96 hours of normal use
between rechargings of its internal battery, but its battery charge lasts up to 120 hours if the device goes
into Asleep Mode during that time. The device may be placed in its charging cradle at any time and
operated within its cradle.
The device will automatically go into Asleep Mode after fifteen minutes of inactivity, and this limit may
be changed at any time. Any wireless Internet connection intended for the MVP-5150 will be
reconnected within approximately twenty seconds after the device is placed in its charging cradle.
Depending upon preselected settings, either device may be set to go into Awake Mode as soon as it is
placed in the cradle.
Audio/Video Capabilities
The MVP-5100 has the capability of displaying multiple JPEG and PNG files at one time.
Power Management
Both the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 utilize a dual voltage external power supply. They may be
recharged through the supplied PS3.0 Power Supply (FG423-30), as well as through the MVP-TCS-52
Table Charging Station (FG5966-1X) or the MVP-WCS-52 Wall Charging Station (FG5966-1X). For
more information, see the Accessories section on page 7 for details.
When not in active use, both devices conserve battery life between chargings. In the Asleep Mode, the
device’s entire system is shut down, with only wakeup systems powered to detect touch panel contact.
Pressing the touch screen overlay will return the device to its Active Mode.
For more information on the battery, see the Battery Life and Replacement section on page 149.
Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case
Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray bottle containing water or a vinegar-based cleaner when
cleaning the device, as alcohol-based cleaners can damage the device’s touch screen overlay. Do not
directly spray the device: instead, spray the cloth to clean the touch screen overlay. Do NOT use an
abrasive of any type to clean the device, as this may permanently damage or remove the device’s finish.
Transferring firmware KIT files over a direct USB connection should only be done
when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power fails during a
firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.
Although the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 are equipped with mini-USB ports, the
devices cannot be powered through this port. The port is only used for uploading
firmware.

Table Charging Station
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 may be used with the MVP-TCS-52 Table Charging Station (FG5966-
1X) (FIG. 4), which acts both as a charging station and a direct power connection. The charging station
is available in either white (FG5966-10) or black (FG5966-11).

Powering the MVP-TCS-52
The MVP-TCS-52 uses a PS3.0 power supply (included with the touch panel or available separately
from www.amx.com) to provide direct power for the MVP panel both for standard functions and for
charging its internal battery.
1. Connect the terminal end of the PS3.0 power supply to the PWR connector on the bottom of the
MVP-TCS-52.
2. To prevent wear on the power supply cord and assure that the device’s base is in full contact with the
table surface, press the cord into the locking groove running across the bottom of the device.
3. Provide power to the MVP-TCS by connecting the PS3.0 cord to an external power source.
4. Place the touch panel in the Charging Station cradle, guiding it into place with the locking grooves
on each side of the cradle. When fully seated, the touch panel’s charging station connector should be
in contact with the Charging Station’s charger pins (FIG. 5).
Connections and Wiring
The PS3.0 is used to supply power to the device by routing incoming power through the connector pins
and charge the device’s internal battery
Recharging
To recharge the touch panel, slide the device into the Table Charging Station cradle bottom-first and
make sure the device is fully seated in the Charging Station. The charger pins in the bottom of the cradle
(FIG. 5) must be in contact with the connector on the bottom of the touch panel for it to start recharging.
The touch panel will stop recharging automatically once the battery has achieved its maximum charge.
Cleaning the MVP-TCS-52
Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray bottle containing water or a vinegar-based cleaner to clean
the Table Charging Station, as alcohol-based cleaners can damage the device. Do not directly spray the
device: instead, spray the cloth to prevent moisture from collecting on the charger pins. Do NOT use an
abrasive of any type to clean the Table Charging Station, as this may permanently damage or remove the
device’s finish.

The touch panel remains locked in the MVP-WCS-52 until unlocked by the user. This may be done by
entering an appropriate password (please refer to the Password Settings Page section on page 83 for
more information), or by pressing the Security Release button on the front of the device in emergencies.
The station ejects the device top first. The MVP-WCS-52 uses two neodymium rare-earth magnets to
keep the touch panel from falling out of its cradle when the device is angled forward.
Unlocking the touch panel
Once placed within the Wall Charging Station, the touch panel remains secured until the user unlocks it.
To release the touch panel from the Wall Charging Station:
1. Press the Security Release button.
2. A password keypad will pop up on the touch panel screen. Enter a password in the password keypad
and press Enter.
3. Wait for the Wall Charging Station to pivot the touch panel away from the wall.
4. The device will remain in the ejected position until the touch panel is removed. Wait until the
device’s ejection door has completely withdrawn before re-installing the touch panel.
MVP-WCS-52 Specifications
Front Panel
Components:
• Securing Magnets: Prevent MVP touch panel from falling free during ejection.
• Security Latch: Adds the primary layer of security when mounting an MVP touch
panel. When the device is inserted, this latch grabs onto the rear of the touch
panel and secures it to prevent it from being removed.
• Interface Connector Pins: A set of retractable pins (male) that connect to the
underside MVP connector strip. This connection provides both communication
and power between the touch panel and the MVP-WCS-52.
• Support Cradle: This retractable mechanism supports a resting MVP panel and
allows a user to either insert or remove a connected MVP panel.
• Security Release pushbutton: Located on the front of the unit, this pushbutton
toggles an on-screen security keypad (if security is enabled).
- Entering the correct release code allows the MVP-WCS-52 to release the
touch panel from the security latch.

Installing the MVP-WCS-52
Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care
must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to any touch panel placed
within.
Installing the plastic Back Box
The plastic back box has two knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to the
box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an "UP" arrow
pointing to the knockouts. The Metal Rough-In Box does not have to be installed beforehand, but it
offers an extra level of support.
To install the Plastic Back Box:
1. Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the box. The outer lip of the back box is sized
8.69 inches (220.66mm) long and 6.0 inches (152.4mm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4"
(6.4mm) smaller in each dimension (FIG. 7).
2. Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knockouts, at the top
left and the top right.
Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1
Phillips screwdriver.
