3. With a stout, strong point (a push pin or straightened paper-clip, for example), carefully press into the access holes in either

end of the molding until the snap is disconnected.

To facilitate the disconnection, grasp the bottom of the panel (Landscape) or right side (Portrait) and pull gently outward until

the side of the panel is free of the snap. Use your other hand to hold stable the front of the touch panel.

NOTE: Always pull on the frame of the touch panel. NEVER pull on the glass edge.

4. When the first side is free, repeat the process with the other.

5. With the edge of the touch panel free, carefully lift up and out (Landscape) or to the left and out (Portrait) to remove the touch

panel from the Backbox. Be careful not to pull on the cables or connectors.

6. To reattach the panel to its Backbox, repeat the installation procedure.

NOTE: For further information, refer to the video available at www.amx.com (go to Newsroom > Videos > Touch Panels).

MXD-430 Installation

Detailed specifications drawings for the MXD-430 are available to download from www.amx.com.

NOTE: Refer to A Note About Wall and Rack Installation on page 42 for important notes on thermal concerns with Wall and Rack

Installations.

The MXD-430 may be installed directly into a solid surface environment, using either solid surface screws or the included locking

tabs for different mounting options.

Once installed, the MXD-430 is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox (FIG. 23).

This Backbox is removed before installing the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-19).

NOTE: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary method for securing the Backbox to the

surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included).

Installing the MXD-430 Into a Wall

The backbox has two locking tabs (one on each side) to help lock the backbox to the wall (see FIG. 52).

These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall.
