    Installation Cutout Cutout Template for the AXD/T-CP4 is available as an insert in the product packaging and from AMX as drawing number 62-5921-02. This file provides 1:1 cut- out dimensions for the CP4 conduit/wallbox. For a replacement cutout, please call your AMX sales representative.

  • Page 7: Installation

    Installation Installation Mounting Decor-style Panels The following paragraphs describe mounting the Decor-style touch panels using the different types of available methods and surfaces. The CP4 has an AXlink and DB-9 port on the rear of the unit. Communication can be done through either the AXlink or DB-9 cables. These steps use AXlink for both data and power.
  • Page 8 Installation 3. Thread the incoming AXlink cable through the knockout. 4. Disconnect the AXlink connector from the Central Controller and thread the terminal end of the 4-pin AXlink cable through the circular cable knockouts provided on the wallbox. 5. Attach the data and power wiring to the touch panel. 6.
