Installation Procedures: 17" Panels

Overview

NXT panels are mounted onto flat (horizontal) surfaces in either a stand-alone or combo (NXT atop an NXA-
BASE/B battery base) configuration. NXD panels are installed into either a pre-wall surface (using the CB-
TP17 conduit/wallbox) or a solid surface (using either solid surface or drywall screws).

Unpacking the Panel

1.
Inspect and confirm the contents of the shipment box to verify that you have all specified parts. Refer to
the Specifications section on page 8 for more information about included accessories and other AMX
equipment.
2.
Carefully remove the panel from the shipping box.
3.
Carefully peel the protective plastic cover from the LCD.
If the protective plastic LCD cover is not removed, the panel may not respond
properly to touch points on the LCD or allow proper screen calibration.


The new MB-TP17 Universal VESA Mounting Box uses a standard VESA installation
pattern of 75 mm between holes. VESA mounts that conform to this pattern can be
used on the MB-TP17 Housing.

Removing the Original Modero Back Box

1.
Detach all connectors from the side of the touch panel.
2.
Remove the magnetic faceplate from the NXD-1700VG unit by gripping the faceplate and pulling
outwards while applying a small amount of pressure to remove it from the main unit.
3.
Place the LCD face-down on a soft cloth to expose the back of the panel and prevent scratching of the
LCD.
DO NOT REMOVE THE PANEL SECURING SCREWS. These screws secure the
LCD to the metallic casing underneath.
4.
Unscrew the Stereo Output nut from the Stereo Output jack.
5.
Remove the I/O connector plate by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two screws
and slide the I/O connector plate away from the back box housing.
