Installation Guide
Included in this Product Package:
Step 1: Select Location for TCX7
TCX7 mounting location should be conveniently and easily
accessible. If possible, mount TCX7 centered between two
consecutive wall studs to minimize chances of interference. Do
not mount TCX7 where it may interfere with electrical wiring, water
lines, or any other existing infrastructure. In order to conform to
ADA standards, do not mount TCX7 higher than 48” off of the
ground. TCX7, once mounted, occupies a space 8” wide & 5 ½” tall.
Step 2: Cut Hole for Mounting Single Gang Bracket
In desired TCX7 location, lightly sketch a 2 1/8” wide by 3 5/8” tall rectangle for
locating the single gang bracket. Confirm that the space behind this rectangle is
free of electrical wiring, water lines, wall studs, or any other obstructions.
Using a drywall saw, carefully cut out the rectangle, and discard the interior
portion. Using a vacuum, carefully clean away any drywall dust remaining from
the cutting process.
Step 3: Mount Single Gang Bracket
Ensuring that “UL” logo is in the top left corner of the single gang bracket, firmly
press the bracket into the rectangular cutout in the wall. Make sure that the bracket
seats fully into the wall, with all sides flush against the outer surface.
With the bracket inserted into the wall, gently tighten the two (2) silver screws built
into the bracket. These screws rotate and secure the mounting flanges against
the opposite side of the wall, ensuring the TCX7 will be secure. Tighten screws
until snug. Do not overtighten, as this can cause the bracket to warp. Once both
screws are tightened, check that bracket is secure and stable.

Installation Guide
Step 4: Attach the Device Plate to the Single Gang Bracket
Using the two (2) provided machine screws, attach the TCX7 device
plate to the single gang bracket, ensuring that the four mounting
tabs of the device plate are facing upwards & out from the wall.
Tighten screws until just snug to prevent plate from moving during
installation & use. Do not overtighten screws, as this can cause the
device plate to warp.
Step 5: Route Cable out Through Device Plate
Route cable from PoE-capable network port through wall & out rectangular
hole in the device wall plate. If routing cable through a Plenum, ONLY use
cable rated for use in Plenum spaces. Pull cable through at least 6” to allow
connection to the TCX7 in the next step.
Step 6: Connect & Mount TCX7
Connect Category cable to the TCX7 port labelled “POE.” If cable is
connected to second port, device will not power on. Before mounting,
ensure that other end of the cable is connected to a PoE-capable network.
Wait for the TCX7 to power on, and confirm that it has a network
connection.
Gently push TCX7 towards device plate, ensuring that
the cable does not get pinched, kinked, or bent too
sharply, and that there is not excessive stress on the
head. Do not bunch cable within bracket.
Align four (4) slots on back of TCX7 with the
mounting tabs on the device plate. Once, aligned,
push TCX7 towards mounting plate to seat tabs, then
press down to lock into place.
Check that all tabs are properly seated into their mounting slots.
The TCX7 Touchscreen Controller is now fully installed. To remove for any reason, simply
reverse step 6.
