Overview
The NXA-BEZP-435xx is a kit solution that allows the NXD-435 touch panel to be
installed in portrait mode, where the vertical dimension of the touch screen is larger
than the horizontal, instead of its traditional landscape mode. The NXA-BEZP-435 is
available in black (NXA-BEZP-435-BL, FG2262-12) or white (NXA-BEZP-435-WH,
FG2261-13).
Note: Use of the NXD-435 in portrait mode requires the latest versions of the
TPDesign4 application and of the AMX NXD-435 landscape mode firmware, version
XX.XX.XX or higher. Both are available for download from www.amx.com.

Installation of the NXA-BEZP-435
The NXD-435 can be installed either directly into the (optional) CB-TP5I Rough-In Box
or another solid surface environment, using either solid surface screws or the included
locking tabs for different mounting options. For more information, please refer to the
NXD-435 User Manual, available at www.amx.com.
The NXD-435 is contained within a clear outer housing known as the back box
(FIG. 3). This back box is not removed when installing the device into a wall or into a
Rough-In Box.
Removing the Bezel
In order for the NXD-435 to be used in portrait mode, the existing bezel must be
removed and replaced with the bezel from the Portrait Bezel Kit. Because the device is
installed against a wall, the bezel must be removed carefully to prevent the two prongs
at the top of the device from being broken. To remove the bezel:
1. Hold the NXD-435 with the AMX logo on the bezel at the top. Gently lift up on the
installed bezel from the bottom. Do NOT pull up from the sides or the top.
2. Let the bezel fall forward from the top of the device and let it pivot from the
bottom of the device.
3. Remove the bezel from the two bottom prongs.
4. Carefully disconnect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the
bezel.
5. Install the NXD-435 into its intended location (refer to the installation instructions
below for more information).
6. Carefully connect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the bezel.
7. With the NXD-435 in its intended portrait position, place the NXA-BEZP-435
bezel on the device, gently hooking the prongs on the bezel on both the left and
right sides. Gently push the bezel to the right to lock it into place.
Installing the NXD-435 into a wall in Portrait Mode
Unlike most AMX touchpanels, the NXD-435 comes with a clear plastic backbox
(FIG. 3) designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. This backbox
has a locking tab on three of the four faces (missing only on the face containing the
space for the connections) to help lock the backbox to the wall. These locking tabs are
only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall.
WARNING: When installing the backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct
position and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into
place, removing the backbox may be difficult without having access to the back of the
wall or causing damage to the wall.
Note: In order to guarantee a stable installation of the NXD-435, the thickness of the
wall material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875
inches (2.22cm).

WARNING: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the
plastic back box is 105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening
the tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or
damage the plastic back box.
1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before
beginning the cutout process.
2. Cut out the surface for the back box. Refer to the dimensions in the NXCD-500i
User Manual, available from www.amx.com, for more information.
CAUTION: Making sure that the actual cutout opening be slightly smaller than the
provided dimensions is highly recommended. This action provides the installer with a
margin for error if the opening needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed
is always better than too much.
3. Remove the bezel from the NXD-435.
4. Disconnect the capacitive touch connector from the 10-pin plug on the
bezel.
5. Insert both connectors into their corresponding locations along the bottom of
the NXD-435 touch panel.
6. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal
locations and applying power via the PoE Injector. Verify that the panel is
receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the
installation.
7. Thread the incoming Ethernet and mini-USB wiring (if mini-USB access is
desired) from their terminal locations through the surface opening. Leave
enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
8. Push the back box into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush
against the back box.
9. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the back box by tightening the screws
inside the box until snug. Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the back
box in place, but extending a minimum of two tabs is highly recommended.
Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall:
this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
The back box is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been
extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if
necessary.
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.
10. Carefully replace the two Plastite screws holding the device to the back box.
11. Reconnect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the bezel.
12. Place the bezel back onto the device.
13. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
Installing the NXD-435 into a Flat Surface using #4 screws
Three #4 mounting screws (not included) are secured through circular holes located
at the left and right sides of the NXD-435. The most important thing to remember
when mounting the NXD-435 is that the outer frame (Mounting Tabs) must be
installed flush against the mounting surface.
• Refer to SP-2262-02 for detailed installation dimensions.
• Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation
drawings in order to make any necessary cutout adjustments, is highly
recommended.
1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the surface before
beginning the cutout process.
2. Cut out the surface for the NXD-435.
3. Remove the bezel from the NXD-435.
4. Disconnect the capacitive touch connector from the 10-pin plug on the
faceplate.
5. Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring from their terminal sources
through the surface opening. Leave enough slack in the wiring to
accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.
6. Connect the Ethernet and USB connectors to their corresponding locations
along the bottom of the un-powered NXD-435 touch panel. The USB
connectors can be from either a USB extension cable or a wireless USB RF
transmitter.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be
installed with the necessary connectors before being inserted into the solid surface.
7. Carefully slide the main unit into the cutout until the Mounting Tabs of the
NXD-435 lie flush against the wall.
8. Insert and secure three #4 Mounting Screws (not included) into the
corresponding holes located along the sides of the NXD-435, using a grounded
Phillips-head screwdriver, until the unit is secure and flush against the wall.
9. Reconnect the capacitive touch connector to the 10-pin plug on the faceplate.
10. Place the bezel back onto the device.
11. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on
either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
