Note: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the 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 Backbox.
7. For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured via mounting
holes located at the corners of the MXD-430 (see FIG. 1).
In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that any screws used are flush
with the back box, and the back box goes freely into the opening.
8. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the MXD-430.
9. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations
and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to
prevent repetition of the installation.
Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed
with the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall.
Remove power before continuing with the installation.
10. Latch the panel onto the bottom hooks on the back box and rotate it up.
Press gently but firmly and evenly on the surface of the glass until the top panel snap
“clicks” to lock it down.
WARNING: if you see a gap between the panel and the back box, or feel any binding
while locking down the panel, stop immediately and verify that no cables or other items
are in the way. Do not force the panel into position, as this can cause damage to the
touch screen or the panel electronics.
11. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the
Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
